Identity is vital to our freedom journey because what we do and how we live flows out of who we are.
Kicking off the new season of 'The Real Answer to Addiction Podcast', Josh and Chris dive into a topic that hits close to home for many on their recovery journey—identity. In this episode, aptly titled 'Identity Crisis', they break down why understanding who you are is crucial for achieving lasting freedom from addiction.
The hosts tackle big questions like, 'Why is knowing who you are important?' and 'Should someone in Christ identify as an addict?' Their conversation is both thought-provoking and practical, aiming to give listeners tangible steps to embrace their true selves. They emphasize that your true identity isn't tied to your addiction, job, or possessions but is rooted in something much deeper—your spiritual self.
Josh and Chris argue that when you know who you are in Christ, you can experience a transformative shift that helps break the cycle of addiction. They also highlight the role of repentance, not just as a one-time act but as a continuous process of turning away from old habits and embracing a new life. Community and Scripture are spotlighted as key tools in this journey, offering support and wisdom to help shape your identity.
The episode wraps up with practical advice on how to keep reminding yourself of your true identity, like using identity statements and surrounding yourself with positive reminders. If you're battling addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on finding freedom by understanding who you really are.
