Description
This week’s episode explores religious addiction, what it is and how it can impact our emotions, our bodies, and our faith journeys in such harmful ways. My guest for this Two-part episode is Pastor David Ruybalid, former worship leader and musician, writer, podcaster, trauma-informed coach and academic. In this episode, we will be identifying signs and symptoms of religious addiction, defining addiction as a broad construct, the ways we see it manifests itself in Christian culture and the damaging aspects it has on our spiritual formation.
