If you have to hide it, justify it, or keep moving the boundaries you set around something, the issue may be bigger than you think. Honest accountability has a way of revealing whether something is simply a habit—or something that's beginning to control you.
Do you want to keep watching? Click the link in our bio to check out the newest episode of Continuing the Conversation, where Grant, Laurel, and Jared respond to your questions, including…
• What is one moment in your marriage that changed your relationship forever?
• Do you have any Bible reading plan recommendations for trusting God when faith is difficult? Also, are there any that could help me navigate relationships with my siblings?
• It's been a year since I lost my wife to cancer, and I still struggle with sadness, grief, and loneliness. I spend time with church friends and go for walks, which helps, but when I return home, those emotions often come back. Is it normal to still feel this way after nearly a year?
• My daughter is struggling with school. She has breakdowns, refuses to go, and is very distressed about it each day. We're considering homeschooling or moving to a new state for a fresh start, and she's also in counseling. How can we discern what God is leading us to do, and what is the wisest way to handle this situation?
• How can someone tell if they're gambling for fun or gambling for an escape?
• Is po*******hy primarily a lust problem, or is it often masking loneliness, pain, or unmet needs?
• How can I tell if my good deeds are truly led by the Holy Spirit rather than driven by a desire to impress others or gain approval?
• Why do some addictions seem socially acceptable while others are heavily judged?
• Why do I always feel the need to experience something—whether it's a drink, a pill, something to smoke, or even sleeping medicine? I know it's not right, but I crave something that gives me an edge or a sense of pleasure. Is something wrong with me?
• Are silent prayers just as effective as spoken prayers?
• How do I trust God after being disappointed or hurt?
