    I don’t have addictions to drugs or alcohol, but I struggle with food, and I absolutely have idols in my life that I need to lay at the foot of the cross. My dad and brother are active addicts.

Keep it up guys!

  • Funny and helpful!

    This faith radio podcast is so fun to listen to, and is full of scripture and scripture based teaching. Bill is a comedian, George is a director for a rehab center with the Salvation Army, and they are both really funny. They focus on rehabilitation from any addictive problems, i.e. food addiction, and take a scripture-based approach.
