Binge-watching, sugar cravings, people-pleasing, control, work—when does a habit become an addiction?
In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I talk with Steve Ward, founder of Steps Ministries, about high-functioning addiction, compulsive habits, and the hidden “chains” that can quietly shape our lives.
From alcohol and porn addiction to everyday coping patterns, we explore how addiction forms in both the brain and the heart, how to recognize the true cost of unhealthy habits, and how to begin the journey of addiction recovery without shame.
You’ll walk away with practical insight, encouragement, and clear next steps toward healing, community, and freedom in Christ.

If you're walking through struggles with habits, addiction, or spiritual strongholds, I also host a private podcast focused on recovery, healing, and freedom in Christ.
