Faith and Freedom: Trevor Cox on the Bible's Take on Addiction

Freedom has got to be more than the absence of something... It's not just that you got out of something, but that you're stepping into freedom.
Ever wondered how faith intersects with addiction recovery? In this bonus episode of 'The Real Answer to Addiction Podcast', Trevor Cox dives deep into what the Bible says about addiction and the path to true freedom. Trevor breaks down complex issues like guilt, shame, and doubt, offering wisdom on how to navigate these challenges through a spiritual lens. He likens addiction to trying to fill a broken cistern—offering instant satisfaction but long-term emptiness.
But what does it mean to truly be free? According to Trevor, it's not just about quitting an addictive behavior; it's about stepping into a fulfilling relationship with God. This episode also covers the difference between merely professing faith and genuinely living it, stressing the importance of spiritual disciplines, accountability, and community. Trevor even touches on the ministry of reconciliation, reminding believers of their role in helping others find freedom.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a holistic, faith-based approach to overcoming life's toughest battles.
