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.

043 - The Secret to Being Joyful - A Special Christmas Gift for Addicts
Merry Christmas! You will never guess the gift God gave me for Christmas. I have finally learned the spiritual secret to letting go completely of worry, anxiety, stress, depression, and sadness. Once again, I got passed over for a job despite going through an intensive interview process. And I had COVID that lasted three weeks. My bank account is at zero, and I have no idea how my January bills are going to get paid. But do you know what? I am SO full of joy! All our bills are paid for December, and I was able to tithe a nice check. AND we were able to bless a few people ourselves this Christmas. Wait until you hear the huge epiphany I had about joy and peace. It's pretty incredible, and I hope my message blesses you as well.
Here are a few videos that I recommend in this podcast episode:
Skip Heitzig: How to Have Unfathomable Peace
Francis Chan: Living with Joy
Kenneth E. Hagin: Casting Your Cares Upon the Lord
Also, one of my favorite worship songs. Jireh means "provider." Elevation Worship, Jireh
