Winning the War in Your Mind Through Christ

In this powerful episode of Faith Over Addiction, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Annie Mayfield Morlock, 5-time Amazon bestselling author, corporate tech sales executive, and host of the Made to Shine podcast.Annie shares her personal journey from an eating disorder and exercise addiction to discovering her true identity in Christ. She opens up about how God stripped away the places she built her identity—athletic performance, appearance, relationships, and achievement—to reveal that her worth was never something she had to earn.With honesty and depth, Annie talks about navigating rock-bottom seasons when God feels silent, breaking free from ruminating thoughts, and stepping out of performance-based living. This episode is for anyone battling addiction, perfectionism, or the pressure to prove their worth.If you’re tired of carrying baggage you were never meant to hold, this conversation will remind you of a core truth: you matter because of who God created you to be, not because of what you do.Key Topics CoveredIdentity at the root of addictionHow God dismantles false identities to reveal His sufficiencyHonest prayer and bringing your real emotions to GodThe three faith questionsPeter’s model of faith: “To whom else would we go?”Taking thoughts captiveEscaping the performance trap in work and cultureJeremiah 1:5 and identity before achievementLiving as light beyond church wallsWhy Scripture must be personal, not just consumedGrace for the process when we turn to coping habits instead of GodResources & LinksWebsite: www.anniebmayfield.comInstagram: @anniemmayFacebook: Annie B MayfieldLinkedIn: Annie Mayfield MorlockYouTube: @anniebmayfieldPodcast: Made to Shine (Top 10% globally streamed on Spotify)#identityinChrist #faithoveraddiction #christianwomen #christianhealing #addictionrecovery #christianmindset #biblicaltruth #renewingthemind #perfectionism #worthinChrist #womenoffaith #jesus #god Free Gfit : Get this free list of Christian affirmations that spell out who you are in God – actual in God’s own words.

Welcome to Faith Over Addiction, where faith meets real life. Hosted by Family Recovery Coach Tanya Gioia, this podcast is designed to offer Christian women hope, healing, and practical tools to navigate the challenges of loving someone with addiction.Through biblical truths, heartfelt stories, and actionable guidance, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries, find peace in the mess, and reclaim your God-given identity. You don’t have to carry what was never meant to be yours. It’s time to shift from “this is happening to me” to “this is happening for me,” and let God transform the chaos into something that glorifies Him.Every week, I’m here to encourage you, offer clarity, and remind you that as a daughter of the King, You Always Have Other Options (YAHOO). Together, we’ll embrace faith as the foundation, boundaries as the bridge to healing, and God’s truth as the ultimate guide to freedom, strength, and grace.Blessings,Tanya Gioia 🌸🎵 Music Credit:Track: Luz SolartArtist: Luna CantinaAlbum: Luz SolartReleased: 2024
