A Better Man Podcast is a bi-weekly conversation dedicated to the uplifting and building of strong men. It will be a place where a multitude of topics are discussed that deal with real topics and real issues leading to real healing!

In this episode, Mike talks about what it truly means to find freedom from addiction physically, mentally, and spiritually. Addiction can take many forms but hope and healing are possible. Breaking free from addiction starts with honesty. Whether you’re struggling personally or walking with someone who is, this episode offers practical steps, encouragement, and tools to begin the journey toward lasting freedom.

NOTE: **At 15:14, I made a mistake of mentioning the book of Matthew when talking about struggling with sin but was actually referring to Romans 7:14-25.**

Challenge of the Week: Write down your addiction/battle. Pray over it and share it with someone you trust (when you're ready).
