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.

033 - Chapter 2: The Imbalance of Self-Worth, Value, and Influence
In this episode, I'm reading from my new book, "Imbalance: The Addict's Guide to Fixing Our Broken Lives." This week is Chapter 2, The Imbalance of Self-Worth, Value, and Influence. I think you'll be kind of surprised what I deem to be the biggest, most off-balance thing that nearly everyone around the world has as an idol to give them self-worth, value, purpose, and importance. Check out all the things I have to say about the internet and social media. Does social media come from the devil? Is the internet evil? Have a listen and tell me what you think.
