Faith Over Addiction - For Christian Women Navigating the Challenges of a Loved one's Addiction

Welcome to Sober On Purpose, where we guide Christian women navigating the complexities of supporting their husbands through addiction and recovery. In this episode, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Mark Hicks @markahicksvideo—author, ghostwriter, minister, counselor, and relationship specialist. Mark shares insights from his upcoming book, Learning Love: Building a Life That Matters in Healthy Relationships That Last, which outlines the five components of love rooted in the wisdom literature of the Old Testament.

Dive into a conversation about the learned skill of love, the healing process of grief, and practical strategies to navigate challenging relationships. Mark offers wisdom for wives who strive to love with God’s character, even in difficult circumstances. Learn how grief can be a pathway to healing, how to differentiate between support and enabling, and why no one should journey alone.

Discover actionable advice, faith-driven encouragement, and the timeless truth that you can live a fulfilling life—even with a hole in your heart. Whether you're seeking hope, clarity, or practical tools for your relationships, this episode is packed with transformative insights.
