In this raw and honest episode, Christine Jewell tackles the dangerous trap of addiction and the hidden skeletons that keep us walking on tight ropes, living in bondage to shame and secrecy. Speaking from personal experience of discovering her father's pornography addiction as a teenager and later navigating her ex-husband's sex addiction, Christine reveals why surface-level behavior modification doesn't work—it's a heart issue that requires addressing the root causes of shame, trauma, and false identity. Drawing from recent conversations with clients who were struggling with hidden addictions while trying to pray for breakthroughs in other areas of life, Christine unpacks the subtle shift that transforms victims into victors and provides a clear roadmap back to walking as truly free men and women. If you're living with hidden behaviors that create shame and isolation, or if you're policing yourself through rigid control instead of experiencing true freedom, this episode will help you break free from the chains of addiction and step into the supernatural grace available for complete transformation.

This Episode Is for You If:

• You feel like you're living a double life, appearing successful on the outside while struggling with hidden addictions or behaviors
• The life you once thought you had control over has become a cycle of shame, secrecy, and failed attempts at behavior modification
• You're carrying the weight of generational patterns and wondering if true freedom is actually possible
• You're working hard to pray for breakthroughs in business or relationships while avoiding the deeper heart issues that need addressing
• You suspect that surface-level fixes and accountability systems aren't enough to break the addictive cycles in your life
• You're ready to stop policing yourself through legalistic control and start walking in genuine freedom and integrity
• You need to understand that knowledge without action is powerless, and you're prepared to take the steps toward lasting transformation

KEY TAKEAWAYS

🔨 Knowledge is potential—knowledge with action is real power; even a little action is better than a lot of knowledge 🌊 Freedom means having options; when you have no options, you have no freedom in the face of temptation 👂 Self-awareness is the first pillar of freedom—if you are not aware, it cannot be repaired 💎 The three root causes of addiction are lack of emotional maturity, unhealed trauma, and faulty belief systems ⚡ Shame keeps you hidden; the marker of operating in shame is only putting your best foot forward 🏗️ True freedom means you can look your former temptation in the face and carry on with your day

NOTABLE QUOTES

• "We've been sold a lie, which is that knowledge is power. The truth is, knowledge is potential. Knowledge with action is real power."
• "Freedom is options. Somebody who has no options has no freedom."
• "It's impossible to have a healthy marriage when things are hidden."
• "God is more excited about your freedom than even you are."
• "We are already free. We just have to learn to walk it out."
• "Everything that's hidden will be brought to light. It's just a matter of time—there are only two ways out: either you confess or you get caught."
