You're not gonna be rich if you put your love, your desire for the things that bring pleasure in this world, like wine, like oil and so forth.
Ever wondered how a life led by the Spirit can transform your journey through addiction recovery? Dr. Mark E. Shaw opens this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast' with a powerful verse from Proverbs: 'Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise'.

Shaw passionately argues that living a Spirit-filled life can bring glory to God and blessings to those around you.

This episode is a heartfelt guide on how to walk as children of light, avoiding the unfruitful works of darkness. Dr.
Shaw shares practical advice on how discipline and discipleship play crucial roles in addiction recovery. His insights offer hope and encouragement for anyone struggling with addiction, making this episode a must-listen for those seeking spiritual and emotional fulfillment.
