In this powerful episode of Designed 4 More, we step into the heart of addiction—not just to understand what it is, but to explore what healing truly requires. Addiction is not a moral failure. It's a maladaptive coping mechanism, a desperate search for relief from emotional wounds, unresolved trauma, and spiritual disconnection. It’s the result of trying to soothe pain with something that ultimately causes more harm.

Our conversation explores the biopsychospiritual nature of addiction—how it impacts every part of who we are: mentally, emotionally, physically, relationally, and spiritually. We’re joined by Dr. Tim Jennings, Dr. Karl Benzio and Therapist Danielle Rhome, who bring clarity and compassion to a topic often misunderstood by both the church and the world.

If you or someone you love has been caught in the endless loop of "try harder, fail again," this episode will offer more than information—it will offer hope, truth, and a pathway toward lasting freedom.
