The Unlimitedness of God

The Unlimitedness of God

What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol and addiction? This sermon-style episode from Lance Johnson takes that question head-on and ties it to what he calls "the unlimitedness of God". Speaking from a past marked by drug and alcohol addiction, Lance talks straight to people who feel stuck, broken, or written off by religion. He points out that "external change doesn't last.

But internal change will last you through eternity," arguing that true freedom comes from being "born again" and transformed by the power of God, rather than just following religious rules. You’ll hear him challenge the idea of a limited God who only works inside certain denominations, doctrines, or clean-cut lives.

Quoting Ephesians, he highlights "his glorious unlimited resources" and insists there "ain't anything in this place today that God can't heal and God can't deliver" — whether it’s cancer, trauma, or long-term addiction to alcohol, heroin, methamphetamines, or opioids. A big part of the message is aimed at people in recovery who feel permanently labelled.

Lance pushes back hard against the notion "once an addict, always an addict", and calls for voices that say, "Let me tell you how long I've been free" instead of staying stuck in defeat-led conversations. He urges listeners to become "prisoners of Jesus" rather than prisoners of addiction, offence, or past abuse, waking up each day bound to the will and love of God rather than to old habits.

The tone is passionate, direct, and sometimes confrontational, but it’s clearly aimed at giving hope to anyone who thinks they’ve gone too far to change. If you’re wrestling with addiction, shame, or a sense that God couldn’t possibly use someone like you, this episode asks you to reconsider: what if your story isn’t finished yet?
