Addiction shows up in many forms—substances, technology, unhealthy relationships, or habits that feel too strong to break. Science may suggest our struggles are woven into our DNA, but Scripture reminds us of a greater truth: our genetics are not our destiny.

Takeaways from this episode:

Addiction takes many forms, but it doesn’t have to define your life.
Science may speak of genetic tendencies, but Scripture speaks of transformation.
2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds us that in Christ, we are new creations.
God’s Spirit empowers us to break cycles and build new, healthy patterns.
Your identity is not in your past—you are free in Christ.

👉 Don’t forget: You can also download our free devotional, “Mind, Body & Soul,” designed to help strengthen your walk with God through Scripture, prayer, and practical habits.
