What happens when a physician begins to see that healing can involve more than the physical and emotional—but also the spiritual? In this powerful conversation, Reagan welcomes Dr. Troy Spurrill back to the Revelations Podcast to share the extraordinary story of his stepdaughter Jade and her journey from severe trauma, addiction, bondage, and overwhelming voices to freedom and a completely transformed life. Dr. Troy describes how Jade's family prayed for her for years,  how she eventually encountered deliverance ministry, her encounter with Heaven and what happened when she finally experienced a breakthrough. Afterward, Jade told her family, “I'm free!” and said she no longer heard the voices that had tormented her. Dr. Troy shares how that experience ultimately led Jade and other members of her family into ministry and helping others find freedom. The conversation then expands into the spiritual side of healing, the authority believers have through Christ, the importance of obedience, prayer, Scripture, praise and worship, and why Dr. Troy believes the healthcare community is beginning to ask deeper questions about spiritual healing. Dr. Troy also shares the story of Jade's sister Danielle, whose own deliverance became another part of this remarkable chain reaction of restoration. Her story eventually led to her helping others struggling with addiction and brokenness. They discuss why forgiveness and repentance are essential to freedom, how trauma and injustice can leave people wounded, and why even highly successful and intellectual people may need inner healing and spiritual freedom. This is a conversation about deliverance, spiritual warfare, healing, trauma, addiction, forgiveness, obedience, faith, and the restoring power of God.

Confession is a doorway, not a destination. Many men take the brave step of telling someone what they're fighting, feel relief for a week or two, and then quietly slip right back into the same pattern of watching pornography. Why? Because confession without structure just becomes an honest relapse cycle.In this video, Mike Stone breaks down the 3-part mechanical system to move past willpower and build long-term freedom:0:00 - Why Confession Alone Isn't Enough0:57 - Pillar 1: Visibility (Staying Seen)1:28 - Pillar 2: Friction (Removing the One-Tap Temptation)2:15 - Pillar 3: Replacement (Filling the Empty Space)3:13 - The Blueprint & What's NextKey Takeaways:1. Visibility: Move from a one-time confession to a consistent weekly check-in.2. Friction: Put physical or digital barriers between you and the failure. Willpower isn't enough.3. Replacement: Decide what you will do *before* the temptation hits—redirect, don't just resist.Mechanics work on your worst day, which is exactly when motivation won't show up.

Episode Summary: Welcome to Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson for Part 2 of my conversation with Jonathan M. Seidl, author of Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic. If you missed Part 1, I encourage you to listen to that episode first, where Jon vulnerably shared how, as a Christian leader, he found himself entangled in the grip of alcoholism. In today's episode, we pick up where we left off, diving deeper into Jon's road to recovery, what breaking free actually looked like, and how others can find lasting hope from their own battles with addiction, shame, and secrecy. Jon doesn't just tell a story of struggle. He gives us a roadmap for surrender, accountability, and freedom through Christ. Whether you're facing your own entanglement or walking alongside someone who is, this episode is packed with truth, grace, and the kind of hope that transforms lives. If you or someone you love has ever struggled with hidden pain, addiction, or the pressure to keep up appearances, this conversation is for you. Jon's story is a testimony to the power of grace, truth, and the freedom found in Christ. Quotables from the episode: I’m the Christian that became an alcoholic, not the other way around. The church is usually okay with and knows how to handle the other way around. The alcoholics who become Christians. But what do you do with the Christians who become alcoholics or the Christians who become adulterers, or the Christians who become addicts, the Christians who become bulimics… what do you do with those people? Salvation is a lifeline, but sanctification is a lifetime process. Healing is like an onion. God helps heal the outside layer and lets us live in that healing for a little bit. And then at a later time, it's time to peel back the next layer. And then it's time to peel back the next layer. God is gentle and gracious that way. Healing is for a lifetime. I don't want you to just be sober. I want you to be here, especially if your drinking is so destructive, it's killing you. I want you to be here. So please get sober. But don't stop there. Because there's something better for you. There's something better waiting for you than just sobriety. Healing starts with abiding in Christ. I think for a lot of my life having grown up in the church, it's like, you know, you get these kind of trite phrases and whatnot. And what I can tell you is that when I get to the end of my rope, you realize how precious Jesus is when he's all you have to cling on to. This is the only step that must be done first. But it has to start with step one: you have to spend time with Jesus. The third step is radical vulnerability. That adjective there is really important. We're okay with talking about the vulnerability. I think it's become kind of in vogue lately. I'm talking about being radically vulnerable—a whole new level of vulnerability. The four steps of healing include abiding with Christ, finding your true identity, practicing radical vulnerability, and being obedient to God. I can tell you by following those four steps, I kicked alcohol, I found sobriety, but most importantly, I found more of Jesus, and I can't overstate what that has done in my life.

We all know what addiction looks like on the outside – but what's happening underneath? In this message, Pastor Louis goes beyond the visible struggle to explore the inner journey of addiction: the anxiety, the broken belief systems, the hurt, and the avoidance that often drive it. We'll unpack why addiction isn't only about substances like drugs or alcohol – it can include food, screens, work, or anything we turn to in order to avoid pain. We'll look at recovery as a whole-person journey: biological (including the truth that medication doesn't necessarily equal a lack of faith), psychological, relational, and spiritual. Above all, we want to affirm one truth: God does not shun us in our addiction. He is with us, and for us, in the struggle and in the freedom that is possible as we undertake our faith journey with Him and in community.

Some people struggling with opioid addiction are turning to a powerful psychedelic called ibogaine. The drug is derived from the bark of an African rainforest shrub, and its proponents believe it sends people on a transformative journey that can free them from addiction. In countries like Mexico, ibogaine use is unregulated, so resort-like clinics are offering what they consider treatment for addiction, by sending people on powerful psychedelic trips. Some say the drug has changed their lives but there have also been tragic consequences, like the Canadian man who died on an ibogaine trip in South Africa.

In this week's episode of the podcast, Michael sits down with Bill Brodie who talks about his "Prodigal Son" journey and going from addiction to freedom.

Aaron Zint of The Whole Man Project and author of Numb to Known: The Surprising Path Away From Porn joins Liz for a vitally important conversation on freedom from sexual addiction. Aaron vulnerably shares his powerful story of getting free from porn-use and he unpacks the internal world of men who have this struggle. Aaron gives insight into what is really going on and that sexual addiction is really a ‘check engine light' for deep underlying areas that need attention. Compassion heals and shame does not. Shame is a tactic from the enemy that tells us to isolate and that we will be rejected if we bring our whole selves into the light. Jesus always healed with compassion, it is the love and acceptance of God and others that bring freedom! If you're struggling, get connected to trustworthy people and be vulnerable, and see that you are accepted and loved no matter what. Related Materials:Numb to Known breaks down the mystery behind compulsive porn-use whether it's a daily struggle or just happens a couple times a year. Help with porn is available and attainable. The problems behind porn are broken down in a relatable and understandable way, creating an addiction recovery path that doesn't just lead to stopping the behavior, but a life of wholeness.

This podcast is your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing and deliverance modality. In this episode, we have Heather Hughes back on the show as our special guest. She is the Executive Director of The Splankna Institute and founder of Alethia for Life. Heather is also the co-author of "Upper Dogs," a compelling book about spiritual authority in Christ.  Today we're learning about the addiction protocol in Splankna. How it was developed and how it has benefitted client who are struggling with addictive patterns. These patterns often arise from attempting to satisfy or fill an unmet need with something that isn't godly or fulfilling. Heather shares her insight and experience, shedding light on the holistic approach Splankna takes to address the root cause of addiction.  Addiction is often associated with the overconsumption of alcohol or drugs, but the harsh reality is that habits, traits, and even excuses can become addictive in themselves and can lead to more substance based addictions. Healing from addiction can feel hopeless to those who are suffering, and it can be equally harrowing for those in relationships with someone battling addiction.  As Splankna practitioners we emphasize the importance of seeking help from a practitioner who is well-versed in the Splankna addiction protocol. Additionally, she advises continuing to work with medical professionals to treat the addiction and its symptoms as needed. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, this episode offers hope and practical guidance. Tune in to learn more about how Splankna can be a powerful tool in the journey toward healing and wholeness.

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we have Bob here with us at 20 years sober. Bob is asking a profound question related to the 12 step path: How would you describe the process of becoming entirely ready?Now, for those who are not familiar with step six, it reads: we were entirely ready to have God remove these defects of character. This brings up a lot of questions and some confusion about what God is doing and how God does it exactly. We need to explore this and ask ourselves: what do we need to do to truly advance ourselves along a spiritual path?How can we awaken out of addiction and experience true freedom? What is the path? What does God have to do with it? What do we have to do with it?

 We are excited to welcome our friend and ministry leader Randy Donithan to the podcast today!⚠️ Before you listen, we do want to give you a trigger warning for this episode. Pornography and sex addiction is discussed throughout this conversation. ⚠️ Randy was born and raised in Arizona growing up in the 50s and 60s. His family life was very difficult as his father was an alcoholic, and this caused many fights between his parents. As a child he felt he was in survival mode and didn't want anyone around to know what was going on in his home. At age 11 a friend showed him a stash of Playboy magazines. This unfortunately led to years and years of addiction. Randy describes it as being in a never-ending cycle of shame and low self-worth among other things. Growing up he had heard confusing messages about Jesus and though he called himself a Christian he didn't really know what that meant. As he grew up into his young adult life his pornography addiction only continued, and it affected how he viewed relationships and even caused struggles in pursuing higher education. At one point he thought a fresh start in California would solve his problems, but he soon found that the struggles followed him. We appreciated Randy being so open in walking us through this time of his life. At age 28 Randy found himself back in Arizona running his own flooring business. He reconnected with a friend who knew Christ and this relationship led Randy to a true understanding of who Jesus. He placed his faith in him for the first time and finally understood what love really is. There were still steps to be taken to work on healing his addiction, but he finally had hope for his life. Randy was soon introduced to a woman named Becky who would become his wife. Together they raised adopted special needs children together while also having children of their own.  Life had taken an amazing turn! Years later, Randy was once again faced with his addictions and struggles. Now being a husband and father, he knew he had to take purposeful steps towards healing. Listen in to hear about how support groups and Christian relationships helped him to heal and begin recovery. It eventually led Randy to leading Celebrate Recovery groups across the valley, including the group we offer here at DSCC. Don't miss this incredible story of God's healing!

Emmanuel Guarino is the Founder of Team Vulnerable. Their mission is to help other married couples overcome porn addiction and have a relationship and life filled with vulnerability and freedom. In this episode, Larry Hagner interviews Emmanuel Guarino who shares his personal story of struggling with a porn addiction. Emmanuel talks about his lack of sex education growing up and how he started watching porn at a young age. He reveals that his addiction escalated in college and caused problems in his relationship, including erectile dysfunction on his wedding night. Emmanuel Guarino describes the negative impact porn had on his life and how it took a toll on his mental health. He then shares a pivotal moment during COVID when he realized he needed help and reached out to God for guidance. His addiction escalated to the point where it interfered with his wedding night. Despite his intentions to quit watching porn before marrying Becca, he found himself unable to perform sexually due to porn-induced erectile dysfunction. This revelation was a devastating blow to both Emmanuel and Becca, as he had to explain that his inability was not a reflection of her desirability or attractiveness. It was a consequence of his addiction and the distorted mindset it had created. Emmanuel's story serves as a poignant example of how porn addiction can ruin relationships and lives. It highlights the detrimental effects it can have on intimacy, trust, and emotional well-being. Porn addiction not only distorts an individual's perception of sex and relationships but also leads to a breakdown in communication and emotional connection. It is essential to recognize the seriousness of porn addiction and the need for support and treatment. Emmanuel's story emphasizes the importance of open and honest conversations about sex education and the impact of pornography. Education should focus on healthy relationships, consent, and the potential consequences of excessive porn consumption. www.thedadedge.com/447 www.teamvulnerable.com/30dayprogram www.youtube.com/channel/UCctvkhL4du2VJIgIFnhY2uA www.instagram.com/teamvulnerable
