    So You Quit Every Addiction. Why Do You Still Feel Empty? | Discord Stage #067

    2026-09-25 | 44 mins.

    In this video, I talk about why we reach for things like food, drugs, or pills, and how it is really about trying to fill a part of us that only God can fill. A man wrote in and told me he quit drugs, smoking, and drinking, but he is still stuck on pills, so I helped him see the difference between guilt and conviction.

    The Only Prayer Left When You Can't Fix Yourself | Discord Stage #066

    You cannot fix yourself, no matter how hard you try. There was a man who had been unable to walk for 38 years, and one sentence from Jesus made him stand up. In this episode, I talk about what surrender looks like, why we ask the wrong questions when we read the Bible, and why trying harder is not the answer.

    In this episode, I open up about being molested at 12, being beaten at home, and joining a gang after feeling like I had no control over my life. I share how prison actually gave me structure I never had, and how I eventually found God and learned to trust his word over my own thoughts and feelings.
