Addiction & Freedom
Talk to Jesus About Addiction
Finding grace, strength and freedom from addiction through faith
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
— John 8:36
Addiction is one of the most isolating struggles a person can face — compounded by shame, secrecy, and the fear that it means something is fundamentally broken in you. The Bible doesn't use the word addiction, but it speaks directly to the experience of being enslaved to something that destroys.
Paul writes in Romans 7 about doing the very thing he hates — the war between the flesh and the spirit. Peter writes about being mastered by whatever has overcome you. These are not metaphors for mild preferences. They describe the brutal cycle of wanting to stop and being unable.
Jesus offers freedom — not always instant, not always without struggle, but real. Twelve-step programmes worldwide are built on the simple premise that a power greater than yourself can restore sanity. The Jesus of the Gospels encountered many enslaved people. He set them free. That story can be part of yours.
