Mike Slater confronts addiction not as a mere personal failing or isolated crisis, but as a profound expression of our shared human brokenness—our innate cravings for power, escape, approval, and false gods that play out in politics, culture, and the soul. Through a biblical lens, the show explores how these addictive patterns fuel national division, idolatrous ideologies, and spiritual bondage, while offering the redemptive hope of faith as the true path to freedom and sober allegiance to the Kingdom. This is part one of a two part episode. Part one features special guest author Arch Kennedy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
