Episode Overview
- Faith in the Gospel can intercept various addictions.

Addiction is not a matter of the drug of choice... It is a state of mind.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into the concept of 'Renouncing Your Own Slavery By Faith'. He explores how faith in the Gospel of Christ can help intercept addictions, whether it's alcohol, drugs, food, sex, or obsessive worry. Colin uses the teachings of Apostle Paul to highlight how sin can dominate our lives, likening it to a form of slavery.
He explains that many people believe they have control over their addictions, but in reality, these addictions often control them. Colin discusses how true freedom from addiction comes not from our own efforts but through faith and recognising that we belong to God. He emphasises that addiction is a state of mind dominated by fear and the sense of abandonment from God.
By embracing faith and understanding that we are reconciled with God through Jesus Christ, we can break free from the addictive state of mind. Colin's reflections are deeply rooted in the scriptures, particularly Romans chapters 5 through 8, which describe the state of mind of an addict and the path to liberation through faith. This episode is a powerful reminder that while overcoming addiction is challenging, it is possible with faith and a shift in mindset.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how faith can transform your approach to addiction and bring you closer to a life of freedom and peace.
