natural & regenerative musculoskeletal healing: https://www.georgekramermd.com/Episode Highlights[00:36] Freedom from Addiction and the Fight for the SoulAddiction, anxiety, and spiritual warfare can make people feel trapped and unseen.Many silently battle overwhelming darkness, believing healing is out of reach.Tommy Doyle, International Director of Uncharted Ministries, knows this struggle firsthand.[03:21] Tommy: “We have so many good friends and so many ministry partners over there, that that's just really where our heart was, and we were part of another ministry before that that we loved dearly, so many great people and everything.”Once bound by addiction and anxiety, Tommy now leads missions that bring healing and hope across the Middle East.[05:26] Ministry Work in the Middle EastTommy describes Uncharted Ministries' work across war-torn regions of the Middle East.He recalls visiting the Gaza Strip a month after a major attack, wearing flak jackets and traveling with armed EMTs.Despite the chaos, they shared comfort and reminded hurting communities that they are not forgotten.Through every mission, Tommy emphasizes the power of showing up and bringing the love of Christ.[12:19] Personal Testimony and Early LifeTommy grew up in a large Christian family, deeply involved in church life as a pastor's kid.Despite strong early faith, he experienced rejection and betrayal from peers in church leadership.That emotional wound led him to pull away and seek belonging in sports and party culture.This shift laid the groundwork for his eventual descent into substance use and spiritual drift.[24:23] Struggles with Addiction and Turning PointTommy began justifying casual partying, which escalated into drug dealing and daily alcohol use.A raid by federal agents became a wake-up call, but the pull of addiction remained strong.Panic attacks worsened his condition, and alcohol became his go-to form of self-medication.Despite several attempts to quit, nothing brought lasting freedom—until he cried out to God.[26:42] Egypt Mission Trip and Spiritual AwakeningTommy joined a mission trip to Egypt to support his mother's outreach to Muslim women.While caring for children there, he was struck by a deep conviction to return to a life of purpose.That moment reignited his faith, shifted his focus, and set him on a path of full sobriety.He returned home and committed to healing through a Christ-centered Celebrate Recovery program.[36:11] Supernatural Encounter in EgyptDuring a foot-washing ceremony, Tommy witnessed a woman visibly possessed and delivered through the name of Jesus.[39:47] Tommy: “Every time that something dark and scary would happen, witnessed by other people too, the power of the name of Jesus was enough to eradicate it and, and that's just so life-giving.”Later that night, he and his brother encountered a terrifying demonic presence outside their desert compound.Prayer in Jesus' name broke the oppression, revealing that when the demonic and divine encounter each other, the authority of Christ prevails over darkness.These spiritual battles confirmed the reality of unseen warfare—and the power believers carry.[47:49] Territorial Spirits and the Battle Over RegionsTommy and Reagan reflect on how demonic strongholds operate not just personally, but over entire regions.In spiritually charged areas like the Middle East, the Enemy fiercely resists gospel work.Tommy shares how even Bible translation efforts in unreached areas face constant spiritual interference.Yet through it all, God's power continues to break ground where darkness has long ruled.[52:45] The Link Between Medication and AddictionTommy discusses the role anti-anxiety medication played in intensifying his alcohol cravings.He noticed his dependence on alcohol spiked after starting an SSRI prescribed for panic attacks.This connection led him to research and ultimately discontinue the medication after his spiritual breakthrough.He encourages others to evaluate their health journeys prayerfully and seek Spirit-led guidance.[58:39] Advice for Overcoming Addiction and AnxietyTommy urges listeners to admit powerlessness and seek a divine encounter with Jesus as the first step to healing.By trusting Him, we take a faithful path to healing.He shares practical advice for managing anxiety, including diet, outdoor activity, and community support.Accountability and honesty are key—especially with trusted friends and family.Above all, he emphasizes that true freedom from addiction and fear comes through Christ alone.[1:03:43] Tommy: “I did not need a foreign substance to be happy and enjoy life. And that's such a lie if, if that's holding you back, reconnect with the Lord.”[1:05:52] Living Free From Darkness to Purpose in ChristTommy reminds listeners that surrender is not weakness but the beginning of real strength.He shares how 2 Timothy 1:7 has anchored him through fear and addiction.God's healing is available to anyone ready to leave darkness and walk into His light.Learn more about Tommy's work through Uncharted Ministries and Uncharted Adventures at unchartedministries.com.About Tommy DoyleTommy Doyle is a missionary leader, speaker, and redeemed overcomer called to bring light into the darkest places.

It's not been my own strength that's gotten me through. It's because of him.”Kelly studied Elementary Education and now works as a dyslexia tutor. She enjoys being a mother to her three children and working as the baptism coordinator in church.Her parents divorced when she was a child. Her father struggled with alcoholism and her mother's role as a single parent had a big impact on Kelly's upbringing.Alcoholism is a generational curse her family has struggled with. However, Kelly is determined to end the cycle of divorce and alcoholism in her own family.From a young age, her mother brought her to Church and taught her about belief in Jesus. She fondly recalls her own baptism when she was just 5 years old.While Kelly has always believed in Jesus, there were times when she rebelled as a young adult.[07:02] Finding God and Grace Amidst IllnessKendall, one of Kelly's children, has a heart defect and lung issues since birth. She has undergone extensive testing, multiple surgeries, and procedures to treat her condition.During this time, Kelly felt emotionally and spiritually exhausted, finding it hard to pray and find God during the worst of Kendall's illness.The turning point came when she heard the Holy Spirit's call to find grace even amidst her child's suffering. [17:08] Kelly: “I realized fully that our children are not our own.

She was paralyzed and helpless against the attacks against her.With the help of prayer, she realized that these experiences were spiritual attacks by demonic forces.Kelly turned to prayer and deliverance through Jesus to strengthen her.

In today's episode, recovering alchoholic Teddy W—now 16 years sober—talks with The Mentors Radio host Tom Loarie about his journey from self-deception to real freedom and genuine happiness...and the transformative power of good habits. At a time of year when many of us are choosing new goals, this is a helpful, inspiring and very candid interview. Alchoholism is the elephant in the room few talk about, yet excessive drinking is the #1 leading cause of preventable deaths in the U.S. It's shocking! From 2015 to 2019 alone, there were more than 380 alcohol-related deaths PER DAY in the United States. It affects each of us in some way, if not through our own addiction, then through family, friends and co-workers. This episode is a fabulous insider view with inspiration for everyone!

Alternate Current Radio Presents: BOILER ROOM - Learn to protect yourself from predatory mass media.In the second hour of this March 31st, 2022 show the Boiler Room is noting how even in the mass media now, the timeline from "conspiracy" to "news" is compressing as the "conspiracies" of 6 months ago are the "news" of today... without even a nod of acknowledgment that stories like "Hunter Biden's Laptop" were censored and used to accuse people of pushing fake stories or falling for "classic foreign disinformation operations" when they were in fact legitimate stories all along. The CDC admits it over-counted Covid deaths by 72,000... again confirming "conspiracies" of the last two years about the overestimation of deaths and the complexities of getting real time data on illness. The fungible line of "the data" and "the science"... Lets let Fauci himself illustrate this concept to us!

Many people believe that addiction and substance abuse are only problems young people struggle with. That is sadly, a huge misconception. In reality, substance abuse in baby boomers and older generations is a growing public health concern and can cause havoc in families and much stress in caregivers.My guest today is Dr. Julie Davelman who is a Clinical Psychologist with Abrams Psychological Services. Dr. Davelman and I discuss such important topics as how large a problem is this, what are the warning signs families should be aware of, unique triggers in an older person and how can families raise this issue and begin seeking help.You can learn more about Dr. Davelman and connect with her for further questions and advice by visiting her website at www.abramspsychservices.com and read her blog at https://drdavelman.wordpress.com/I will also be posting some further resources on my Facebook Page - "On The Frontlines of Caregiving" - www.facebook.com/FrontlinesofCaregiving
