In this episode of the Gen Lit Podcast, Robert opens up about his darkest days—daily ER visits, feeling trapped in fear, and how anxiety tried to entrench itself in his mind. But he didn’t stay there. He fought back using God’s Word, His promises, and the power of prayer.

If you’ve ever felt like anxiety has its grip on your life, you’re not alone. Hear Robert’s raw, real story about finding hope when it felt impossible—and how God made the difference.

In this episode, we explore how addictions and distractions—whether they involve people, emotions, or things—can affect your spiritual walk. Addictions don't always look like extreme behaviors such as substance abuse. Instead, they can be anything that starts to control your life and pull you away from your relationship with God.

We also dive into how emotions can become addictions. Some people may unknowingly become addicted to the feeling of being pitied or dependent on their emotional states, pulling them away from God’s true purpose for their lives.

Tune in to this episode to gain insights into breaking free from these subtle distractions, and if it has helped you, share it with someone who may also benefit. Thank you for being a listener and a part of our community!
