Pushing Back on Addiction w/Faith

Few would argue this is a battle of good and evil. Therefore, part of the family response needs to include their spiritual faith practice.  But for most, it is an uncomfortable area to openly discuss.

 

Sorry, we are not going to let that discomfort get in our way. You must address this through your faith practices, regardless of how you see it, God is here and we need to ask for His mercy and help. 

 

 The focus of "Pushing Back on Addiction" is that our faith practices will be the knowledge we use to fight back against addiction in our families.   The below episodes will provide a family with ways they can get started or restarted in using the strength of God as your shield and sword.   It is time to put on the armor of God.
