Relationship Prescriptions with Dr. Carol

It's Not About the Porn, Alcohol, or Drugs: Getting Deeper Than Behavior Change

Oct 15, 2024
53:18

Many followers of Jesus might wish God would "zap" them out of their addiction to porn, alcohol, or whatever else. Are they uniquely flawed when they still struggle with their unwanted behavior patterns? Doesn't being "a new creation in Christ" mean things should be resolved? Troy and Melissa Haas are licensed counselors and lead the HopeQuest family of ministries. They join Dr. Carol on this episode to talk about their own story  of painful addiction and betrayal trauma, and about how they are now helping so many individuals and families find not just sobriety but lasting and whole recovery. Find out more about HopeQuest on their websiteFacebookX(Twitter), or Instagram. Check out Dr. Carol's article Why Doesn't God Deliver Me From This Addiction?
