Today, I sit down with Matt Grace, author of God Doesn’t Relapse, for a powerful conversation on addiction recovery, faith, family boundaries, and the spiritual transformation that helped him rebuild his life. Mr. Grace shares his story of becoming addicted at a young age, moving from Ritalin to crystal meth, facing arrests, overdoses, broken relationships, and eventually surrendering to God after years of addiction.

In this episode, Mr. Grace explains why addiction does not only affect the addict—it affects the entire family system. We discuss enablement, tough love, emotional hostage-taking, and why parents sometimes “love their kids to death” by preventing them from facing consequences. I also share from my own experience as the son of addiction, including what it means to forgive, protect, set boundaries, and still hope for someone’s recovery without enabling destructive behavior.

Mr. Grace also opens up about his work in addiction recovery, his experience helping families, and why he wrote God Doesn’t Relapse as both a memoir and a resource for families dealing with alcoholism, drug addiction, failure to launch, and broken family dynamics. We talk about the importance of service, volunteer work, accountability, and learning how to stop living as a victim and start living as a survivor.

This conversation also addresses faith, masculinity, pornography, gambling, young men in crisis, and how society often distorts morality while normalizing destructive behaviors. Mr. Grace shares how prayer, service, and a relationship with God helped him find lasting sobriety, while I connect his story to biblical themes of redemption, purpose, spiritual discipline, and hope beyond addiction.

Whether you are struggling with addiction, loving someone through addiction, recovering from family trauma, or searching for faith-based encouragement, this episode offers practical wisdom and spiritual insight. Mr. Grace’s story is a reminder that recovery is possible, boundaries are necessary, service changes lives, and no one is too far gone for redemption.

Today, I share a solo episode centered on my latest chapter contribution to the finale of The Book Of Frequency trilogy. After contributing to all three books in the series, I begin by briefly revisiting my previous chapters from The Book Of Frequency: Love And Gratitude and The Book Of Frequency: Energy And Healing. I discuss how love can create powerful endurance, how spiritual energy eventually fails without surrender, and how true healing and deeper strength come from surrendering to God rather than relying only on our own willpower.

In this episode, I read and reflect on my newest chapter, “The Cyclic Nature Of Give And Return,” from the money and abundance installment of The Book Of Frequency. I make it clear that I am not a financial advisor or financial expert, but I use this chapter to explore the philosophy, heart posture, and spiritual mindset behind money. Rather than glorifying wealth or romanticizing poverty, I focus on the flow of money, the purpose of generosity, and the difference between chasing cash and recognizing abundance in many forms.

I also discuss how money can be used for selfishness, greed, status, and destruction, but it can also be used to serve others, support families, bless nonprofits, help churches, provide for those in need, and create ripples of impact. I reflect on giving to charities, churches, small businesses, struggling individuals, and causes connected to veterans, widows, orphans, homelessness, first responders, abortion prevention, and others in need. This episode challenges listeners to think about what money is for, what kind of life they are building with it, and whether they are hoarding, chasing, serving, or giving.

Toward the end of the episode, I connect generosity to gratitude, abundance, faith, and long-term return. I discuss how many people only look for cash in return while missing the blessings, relationships, opportunities, help, provision, and impact that can come back through a generous life. Whether someone has money to give or only time, service, attention, or care, this episode encourages listeners to reflect on how they can participate in the cycle of giving and return with humility, wisdom, and purpose.

Today, I use May 4th as an opportunity to evangelize through Scripture with a Radiating Faith solo sermon. Instead of focusing only on the familiar Star Wars phrase, I use the date as a doorway into Psalm 4, Proverbs 4, and Ecclesiastes 4. This sermon is about taking a cultural moment and redirecting it toward God, wisdom, peace, righteousness, and the eternal truth found in Scripture.

I begin with Psalm 4, where David cries out to the God of his righteousness and asks for relief from distress. I break down the Hebrew language behind ideas like God making room in narrow places, falsehood and emptiness, covenant faithfulness, emotional discipline, righteous sacrifice, and true peace. This chapter points us toward the peace only God can give, especially when the world presses in with anxiety, distraction, enemies, delusions, and false gods.

Then I move into Proverbs 4, focusing on the command to get wisdom at any cost, guard the heart, listen to instruction, avoid the path of the wicked, and walk the path of righteousness. I discuss Hebrew words connected to discipline, Torah, the inner self, wisdom, understanding, and the path of life. In a world full of social media comparison, sexualization, fear, anxiety, hatred, and constant distraction, Proverbs 4 reminds us that wisdom is not casual information but life-giving instruction from God.

Finally, I close with Ecclesiastes 4, a sober reflection on oppression, envy, meaningless toil, loneliness, companionship, wisdom, and the vapor-like nature of popularity and achievement. I discuss the Hebrew concept of hevel, the fleeting mist of life under the sun, and how so much of modern ambition is driven by comparison instead of calling. Psalm 4 gives us peace in pressure, Proverbs 4 gives us wisdom for the path, and Ecclesiastes 4 gives us clarity about striving without God. May the fourth be with you—not the force, but the peace of Psalm 4, the wisdom of Proverbs 4, and the sober clarity of Ecclesiastes 4.
