Biblical Perspectives on Addiction: Hammer The Abusers

We need the truth and we needed the truth spoken to us.
Ever wondered how faith can intersect with the complex world of addiction recovery? In this engaging episode of The Addiction Connection Podcast, hosts Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley tackle the pressing issue of addiction from a biblical viewpoint. The episode, titled 'Hammer The Abusers', dives deep into the flaws of current rehab programs, the manipulations by pharmaceutical companies, and how Christianity can offer a unique perspective on addiction recovery. Special guests Dr.
Samuel Finnix and Arischa Conner join the conversation, sharing their personal experiences and insights. Dr. Finnix discusses traditional solutions and the often overlooked aspects of addiction treatment, while Conner provides a nurse's perspective on the challenges faced by those battling addiction. The hosts also scrutinize the arrogance of Purdue Pharma, a company infamous for its role in America's opioid crisis. They dissect the so-called 'life-saving medications' and the manipulative tactics used to push these drugs onto vulnerable populations.
Through a biblical lens, they offer a thought-provoking critique of these practices and suggest more compassionate and effective responses to addiction. If you're looking for a podcast that combines faith with practical insights into addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen. It offers a fresh perspective on how biblical principles can guide us toward more humane and effective solutions to one of today's most pressing issues.
