In this episode of 'Life After Addiction', the hosts dive into a topic that resonates deeply with many - the struggle. With a mix of humour and heartfelt reflections, they explore why we face challenges and how faith can provide a way through. The episode opens with a light-hearted banter about hoodies and the changing weather, but quickly shifts to the core question: why do we struggle?
The hosts explain that, according to their biblical perspective, struggles are a result of sin entering the world. They draw on scriptures from Genesis and 1 John to illustrate how temptations and challenges have been part of human experience since the beginning. One host shares a personal story about his father's cancer diagnosis, tying it back to the idea that all suffering stems from sin.
The discussion also touches on the importance of not blaming Adam and Eve for our struggles but recognising our own daily choices. They emphasise that while Christians still sin, they have dominion over it through their faith in Christ. The episode is filled with encouraging messages about hope, redemption, and the power of God's love. The hosts remind listeners that even in the midst of struggles, there is always a way to endure and overcome through faith.
With references to scripture and practical advice, this episode offers both spiritual insight and real-life applications for anyone facing difficulties. Whether you're dealing with addiction, personal loss, or just the everyday trials of life, this episode provides a comforting reminder that you're not alone and that there is hope on the other side of your struggles.
