## Resource

What is addiction really about—chemistry, choice, or something deeper? In this episode, Andy Steiger sits down with Dr. Quentin Genuis, an emergency physician and ethicist at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, Canada. Dr. Quentin argues that addiction points to a universal human longing for identity, belonging, and purpose. Drawing on medicine, theology, and lived experience, he explains why lasting recovery requires more than policy or medication: it needs community, mercy, and a vision of human flourishing in Christ.
