"Sometimes the drugs in your life aren’t alcohol or substances — they're anything that pulls you from your purpose."
When the Drugs Aren’t What You Expect
In this episode of Built for the Cold, I dig into the not-so-obvious vices that can pull us off course. It's not always alcohol, weed, or harder substances. Sometimes it’s TV shows, video games, people-pleasing, betting, even the gym. Anything that keeps you from your God-given purpose is a drug you’ve got to recognize before it owns you.
Facing My Own Distractions
I open up about my own struggles—how materialism, sports obsession, and even fitness once became my escape from facing deeper emotional pain. Recently, I felt called to give up watching sports completely, and it’s been wild how much more energy, peace, and clarity I’ve experienced since. True purpose demands space—and sometimes silence—for God to speak.
Living on Purpose, Not on Numb
The devil’s goal is to numb you through distractions. But real strength comes from facing life head-on, not running from it. If you’ve been caught in a vice, there's a bigger life waiting for you on the other side of letting it go. Don't numb yourself. Wake up. Step into your calling.
