The God of Addiction

Episode 6: The God of Addiction | No Other Gods Series In this powerful and personal episode of The Victory Podcast, Empress Victory continues the No Other Gods series by confronting addiction from a different perspective. What if addiction isn’t always about drugs, alcohol, or substances? What if we can become addicted to validation, attention, acceptance, relationships, appearances, and the way the world makes us feel about ourselves? In The God of Addiction, I take an honest look at my own life and recognize that I became addicted to how the world saw me. I allowed people’s opinions, attention, approval, and perception of me to influence how I saw myself. But when something outside of God becomes the source of our identity, worth, comfort, or validation, it can begin occupying a place it was never meant to have. This episode is about recognizing those attachments, confronting them honestly, and learning that our identity and worth cannot be determined by the world. Through personal testimony, Scripture, reflection, and prayer, I invite you to ask yourself: What am I addicted to that I never called an addiction? It’s time to stop allowing the world to tell us who we are and begin seeing ourselves through the eyes of God. No Other Gods. No Other Idols. God first.
