Addiction is not the problem—it’s the attempted solution.
Whether it’s alcohol, porn, shopping, food, screens, or people-pleasing, every addiction points to an unmet need and a deeper pain. The real question isn’t “Why the addiction?” but “Why the pain?”
In this powerful message, Mike Foster unpacks how childhood experiences shape our lifelong “Primal Questions” and how those unmet needs drive us to unhealthy coping. But the good news? God has an answer for every single one.
📖 Key Verse: Philippians 4:19 — “And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
