Take thoughts captive
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
II Corinthians 10:3-5

Going Beyond Addictions

Beyond Addictions is a 14-session course that approaches the problems of addiction on a Biblical, Christ-centered basis. The course has been taught to thirty-five groups since September 2002 with more than 350 men graduating during that time.

We invite you to download the audio and text portions of the course for use in churches, small groups or homes. All Beyond Addictions materials are copyrighted and should not be used in ways inconsistent with US Copyright law.

What is Beyond Addictions about?
In John 10:10, Jesus says that He came that we might have LIFE and have it more abundantly. It was not in God’s original plan for man to be in bondage to addictions nor did Jesus come in order for us to continue to struggle with them. He came to set us free from them. The sacrificial death and resurrected life of Jesus Christ makes it possible for us to go beyond addictions to live the abundant life that He has in mind for us.
