This principle exposes our unconfessed sins, our guilt, our shame, these misdirected instincts, and it helps us to get in touch with the part of us that's been hidden for far too long.
Ever wondered why you keep falling into the same destructive patterns? Terry Hanna gets it. In this episode of 'Christians with Secret Addictions', Terry continues his deep dive into Step Four of the biblical 12-step recovery program. He starts by posing two poignant questions: Why do we commit sinful and harmful acts, and why is it so hard to stop?
To find answers, Terry looks to the teachings of the apostle Paul, highlighting that our struggles are part of an age-old spiritual battle. This episode is all about uncovering those hidden parts of ourselves—our unconfessed sins, guilt, shame, and misdirected instincts—that keep us stuck in addiction. Terry shares his own journey through addiction and how a thorough moral inventory helped him face denial and self-centeredness head-on.
He emphasizes that before we can clean up our mess, we have to look at it squarely. Using biblical wisdom and personal anecdotes, Terry illustrates how God's gift of salvation, combined with community support, can lead to a life filled with grace, mercy, and healing. He ends with a powerful call to action: Have a funeral for your past and leave it behind.
If you're grappling with addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a compelling guide to digging deep and finding the root causes of your struggles.
