Grace and Addictions with Ian Morgan Cron

Ian Morgan Cron, author of Chasing Francis and Jesus, My Father, the CIA and Me, joins Jennifer Pepito to discuss his newest book The Fix. It is a beautiful book about healing addictions and the spiritual growth that can be found through the 12 step program.

So often in Christian culture, we are quick to categorise addictions as the painfully obvious like alcohol, porn, food addictions, anger, but co-dependency on our spouses or our children, addiction to control, addiction to negative thinking, to complaining are also addictions. All of these can shroud our lives in a grey weightiness, damage our relationships, and steal our joy. The Fix which dives into the 12 steps and how, when we start with laying our burden at the feet of Jesus and admit we cannot carry it all, we can begin to heal.
