Breaking Free from Addiction: A New Path Through Faith
Addiction is one of the most relentless battles a person can face. It destroys lives, wrecks families, and leaves people feeling hopeless. But what if the key to true, lasting recovery isn’t just about willpower, therapy, or even medical treatment? What if it’s about something deeper—something spiritual?
In this powerful episode of GoodVue Network’s Good News, host Dr. Lee Kanter sat down with Dr. Clay Worrell, the creator of Epic Life Solutions, a 91-day faith-based recovery program that is being offered for free on GoodVue Network. Their conversation wasn’t just about addiction recovery—it was about spiritual transformation and the truth that freedom from addiction is only found in Christ.
This episode hit home in a way that few discussions on addiction do. Because instead of just talking about the symptoms, they got to the root of the problem. And what they uncovered was life-changing.
The Real Problem: Addiction Is a Spiritual Battle
Dr. Worrell wasted no time getting to the heart of the issue: most addiction treatment programs fail because they ignore the real problem—addiction is spiritual.
For decades, the world has tried to solve addiction through psychology, therapy, and medication. But with an abysmal 5% success rate, even experts are beginning to acknowledge that something is missing.
“We’ve known for more than 80 years that our treatment models don’t work,” Dr. Worrell explained. “The professionals now admit that there has to be a spiritual transformation.”
But here’s where it gets even more striking: despite acknowledging the spiritual nature of addiction, most treatment centers refuse to point to Christ as the answer. Instead, they vaguely tell people to seek a ‘higher power’, leaving them adrift in a sea of false gods and empty philosophies.
But Epic Life Solutions is different. It doesn’t just offer another self-help method. It provides the only real answer—Jesus Christ.
Why Addiction Keeps People Trapped
Dr. Worrell’s own story is a testimony to the power of God. He was a high-powered executive, living the “dream” on the outside but completely lost on the inside. Alcohol and opioids consumed his life. He went through four inpatient rehab programs, met with countless counselors, and tried every method the world had to offer.
Nothing worked.
“I was completely hopeless,” he admitted. “I knew everything about addiction, but I kept falling back into it.”
Then, he encountered Jesus. And everything changed.
Dr. Worrell realized that addiction isn’t just a physical dependency—it’s a spiritual war. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 6:12:
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Addiction is not just a bad habit. It’s bondage. And the only way to break free is through the power of God.
The Core of Addiction: Pride and the Old Man
One of the most profound moments of the episode was when Dr. Kanter and Dr. Worrell discussed the root of addiction: pride.
Pride is what keeps people trapped. Pride tells us we can fix ourselves. Pride whispers that we don’t need God. But pride is a liar.
Dr. Worrell broke it down beautifully:
- The old man (our sinful nature) seeks comfort, pleasure, and escape in the wrong places.
- The world tells us that addiction is just a “disease” that we can manage through therapy.
- But the Bible tells us that true freedom comes when we die to ourselves and are made new in Christ.
As Dr. Kanter pointed out, Ephesians 2 makes it clear that God’s plan has always been to create one new humanity in Christ. That’s why addiction recovery cannot be just about stopping a behavior—it has to be about becoming a new person through Christ.

Dr. Worrell explained, “If you don’t know who you are in Christ, you’ll always fall back into addiction. But when you understand your purpose, when you realize you were created for something greater, that’s when real change happens.”
A Challenge to Step Into Freedom
As the episode wrapped up, Dr. Kanter issued a challenge to the audience:
- Do you know someone battling addiction?
- Are you struggling with addiction yourself?
- Are you tired of seeing people trapped in cycles of sin and self-destruction?
If so, the answer isn’t another rehab program. It’s Jesus.
