The Feeling Better - Gambling Addiction & Spiritual Warfare
Maria is just an average, middle American housewife and homesteader who never gave gambling much thought until she became addicted to slot games last summer. At her lowest point, God showed her that her compulsive gambling addiction, like many other addictions, was a spiritual attack. Maria published her book, "The Feeling Better: 10-4 Program" in March, 2023 and simultaneously launched this podcast. She addresses compulsive gambling and addiction from the spiritual perspective, helping those who are stuck in the dark pit of addiction to defeat the enemy and find victory. Througout her podcast, Maria Simon shares her own devastating journey and what led to her downfall and ultimately, her redemption and recovery. The raw emotion of her ordeal, her inspiring words of wisdom, and the practical, spiritual encouragement laid out each week can help anyone--Christian believer or not--to overcome their compulsive addiction once and for all.

020 - Islam vs. Christianity: The Spiritual Attack of a False Religion
This episode answers a listener question that asked me why I became a Christian, and why I chose Christianity over Islam. I grew up as a Muslim, but left the Islamic religion behind as a teenager. I mentioned before that Satan uses many, many forms of spiritual attack. One of the biggest, most successful forms of attack is the false religion of Islam. As gambling becomes more widely accepted around the world, Muslims may also find themselves deep in the pit of hellish anguish as they battle their addiction. It's my intention to help provide them a path to healing as I dive into the differences between Jesus and Mohammad (the Islamic prophet) as well as how the Bible puts a spotlight on the flaws of the Quran, the holy text of Islam. I tell the story of my own personal experience with the Quran and growing up Muslim, and share some research I found that reveals deeply disturbing facts about Islam and inconsistencies in the Quran.
In this episode, I make reference to a few different items, which I'd like to provide here as links for those who are interested:
