I was Redeemed by Christ from Pornography and Addiction

from Redeeming Love Podcast · host Matthew Richardson

In this episode, I share what it really felt like to hit rock bottom. Losing my marriage, business, identity, being excommunicated from my church, and sense of purpose while battling addiction.At my lowest, everything was driven by lust, validation, and escape. What started early turned into years of addiction that kept pulling me deeper, leaving me empty and searching for more.After reaching a breaking point, everything began to change. Through accountability, surrender, and a decision to fully walk with Christ, I started rebuilding my life from the inside out.A new identity.A new purpose.A new life with God.Today, I’m helping others overcome addiction, rewire their thinking, and step into who they’re meant to become.00:00 - Losing everything and hitting rock bottom08:00 - Addiction, identity, and the downward spiral24:45 - Lust vs purpose and what actually fulfills you41:15 - The turning point: walking in the Spirit01:05:00 - Rewiring identity and finding real purposeThanks for letting me come on your Dustin!
