Addiction is not limited to drugs or alcohol; it can include pornography, social media, spending, sinful habits, and anything that begins to control the heart, mind, and body. From John 8:34 and 1 Corinthians 6:12 to Romans 12:2 and Psalm 119:11, this discussion considers the biblical call to self-control, the danger of being brought under the power of anything, and the need to renew the mind through God’s Word. We also discuss how addiction affects the brain, why Christians must be careful about what they consume, and how parents can guard their children from harmful influences. Above all, this episode points listeners back to prayer, spiritual accountability, wise companionship, and the transforming power of Scripture. Listener discretion advised: this episode includes brief discussion of adult themes.","meta_description":"In this episode, we continue our discussion on the Bible and mental health by examining the topic of addiction.
