NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Born This Way or Bad Choices? What Science and Scripture Say About Alcoholism
Is alcoholism a disease you're born with, or is it the result of choices people make? It's one of the most debated questions in addiction science—and one that affects millions of individuals and families.
In this thought-provoking episode of Criminal Thinking Deterred, host Tony Moore welcomes back Marty Roddy, a recovering alcoholic with more than 26 years of sobriety, AA leader, and soon-to-be published author. Together, they explore both sides of this important discussion, examining the science behind addiction, the role of personal responsibility, and how a Christian worldview offers hope, healing, and redemption.
Whether you're in recovery, have a loved one struggling with addiction, work in the recovery field, or simply want to understand this complex issue better, this episode offers a respectful, insightful conversation that encourages thoughtful discussion.
