Listen "The Sneaky Addictions We Don’t Talk About"
Episode Synopsis
“If you’re afraid to ask God about something, that may be a sign it’s become too important.”
Retail therapy, 'prayer requests' that turn into gossip or just one more scroll through your social media algorithml; they're not that bad, right? Carol, Tricia and Kelly talk about the good things that become more important than God things and the 'no-big-deals' that create an unstoppable pattern. When 'acceptable addictions' become something you're gripping too tightly, it can be hard to release and break the habits, but looking to Jesus to fill the void really will make all the difference.
This one will make you laugh, nod your head, and maybe even squirm a little—but mostly, it will remind you that Jesus is more than enough for everything you need.
3 Takeaways
Anything can become an addiction if it begins to take the place of God in our hearts.
Addictions don’t always look like the “big ones”—busyness, gossip, or people-pleasing can be just as consuming.
The question to ask: “Can what I’m chasing only truly be found in Christ?”
Take a few minutes this week to ask yourself: What am I giving most of my time, energy, and attention to? If it’s anything other than Jesus, talk to Him about it. Invite Him to help you loosen your grip and redirect your heart back to Him. Freedom begins with honesty.
