An Invite To Peace: Changing Lives, Healing Addiction, And Providing Answers To Life's Toughest Questions podcast

1:17:09

Do you struggle with anxiety, alcohol addiction, or marriage issues? Spirituality? How about pride? What is "Marine marriage"? Have you ever felt invincible? What's it like behind the scenes as a Marine? How does it feel to be responsible for protecting the President? What happens when you're so full of pride because of who you think you are and what you do, that nothing can stand in your way? Not even God... Then, it all comes crashing down. The accumulation of work and life causes such anxiety that you freak out over a simple sound from your phone, and you're not even sure why your wife would stick around. You contemplate life, and death, and wonder if it would all be better if it was over. Can Jesus fix what is so desperately broken? Will God really come through? If you’re like Josh or I, it’s time to answer those tough Christian questions and connect with the One who can break your addictions, heal your mental health, and lead your transformation. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Grab my book here: Confession of a Christian Fraud: Dark Times, Shattered Lives, and God's Abundant Grace: Campese, Chad: 9798818801742: Amazon.com: Books Connect with me here: Facebook Chad Campese | LinkedIn Instagram Music by: "Galactic Rap " Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/…

Why are you here? What's your purpose? Is Spiritual life just a waste of time? Have you ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes of Christian life, a pastor's life, or church culture?

Change your Life Series: Can God Really Heal it All? A Police Officer Finds Answers in Parenting, Grief, Divorce, and Cancer - Jake Ritonya 1:39:17

1:39:17

Have you been there? The struggle feels never-ending, and the hits just keep coming. Spiritual life seems so far away. You're addicted to control, because things will only spiral worse if you let it go. You have to fix it all yourself, even if you're a Christian. Jake thought he could fix everything—his marriage, his parenting issues, his health. He believed he had the power to make it all work. But even as Jesus was trying to lead him elsewhere, Jake wouldn’t let go. He was addicted. Control was his thing. As a police officer, husband, and father, he believed everything would go as planned because he was in charge. But everything fell apart—his marriage couldn’t be fixed, his body showed signs that something was wrong, and his mistakes with his children became undeniable. In the end, Jake had no choice but to admit his failures and turn to God for help. If you’ve ever been where Jake or I have been, it’s time to finally face those questions. It’s time to find healing and connect with the One who can break your addictions, heal your grief, and lead your transformation. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Have you ever felt empty, like you had nothing left? Can spirituality make a difference? Jason was searching for something, but he didn’t know what it was. He thought he could escape his past, but he was addicted to who he used to be. As a firefighter with a good job, he seemed to have everything—except something was missing. He felt so empty. In his grief, he visited a Christian church, hoping to find what he was missing. But instead, he was turned away at the door. He was told he didn’t belong because of how he was dressed. That rejection felt like the end—of his search, his hope, and even his life. If you’ve ever been where Jason or I have been, it’s time to finally face those questions.

1:19:54

Have you ever felt like it couldn’t get worse, and then it does—even in a Christian marriage? Even with a spiritual life? Anthony and his wife thought their relationship couldn’t get much worse, and their personal lives weren’t any better. He found himself questioning, "Will it get better? Is there a way to save this? To save us?" Alcohol addiction became his escape. "What is marriage supposed to look like?" he wondered. Where is God in all of this? Christian marriage is already hard, but being married to a Police Officer and dealing with mental health struggles behind the scenes makes it even harder—often toxic. When everything falls apart and you’re pushed to the edge, the only thing left to do is trust Jesus to redeem and transform it all. Is God really capable? Will He show up? If you’ve ever been where Anthony or I have been, it’s time to finally face those questions.

Have you ever felt like Christian faith, spiritual life, or even the church, was a waste of time? Steve felt that way and walked away from faith long ago.

Are your addictions and grief taking over your life? Do you still have doubts and struggles about Jesus, Christian life, church, spirituality, theology, and faith? Is Jesus really leading you? Can He heal your addiction or even offer a new understanding — one that makes sense? Why are people on the podcast sharing their pain and being honest about their behind-the-scenes struggles with faith? Does it really make a difference, and can it help? Can you truly connect with Jesus? Will He change your life? Can you know He’s there, working, and present? Does God have a purpose for you? Can you trust Him? We all question, even if we don’t admit it. We all hide it at times, but there’s one thing that can change everything—being honest. It’s time to connect with the One who answers every question, quiets every doubt, and leads you through the struggles. Time to connect with Jesus, the one who can connect you with the spiritual, break your addictions, heal your grief, and guide you to your true purpose. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
