ABOUT ADDICTIONS

Most of us are addicted to something or another. Some are rather obvious and well documented – drug use, alcoholism, pornography. But there are many more subtle addictions – needing to have our own way, always needing to be right, impatience, anger, judging other people harshly, gaming, and even our political viewpoints. Few of us are immune from addictions.

Yesterday (Monday) I had a second guest spot on Coffee on the Couch. We talked about addictions and my book, FINDING THE SAFEST PLACE ON EARTH. This coming Saturday, I have an early morning guest spot on sober.coffee to discuss the same topics. Why am I finding my way as a guest on podcasts that have to do with addictions? It’s because addictions are a hot topic right now. You only have to watch the news unfolding each day.

I believe that being aligned with Jesus, being a branch in His vine, and partaking of his very life sustenance is for many people not only the best way to defeat an addiction, it’s the only way. I am unapologetic when I’m being interviewed about my Christian approach to addictions. I am not ashamed of the gospel as the answer to the problems, awful situations, and bad choices experienced by men and women everywhere.

That’s what my book FINDING THE SAFEST PLACE ON EARTH is all about. The more you are filled with Jesus, the safer you are. The more you are filled with yourself and the world culture, the more danger you are in. It’s as simple as that. This book is about an alcoholic named Jack, but it’s also about all of us who need to find a safer place to live than where we are, who need to find peace and joy – no matter what circumstances we are in.
