The Addicted to God Pod

Welcome to the Addicted to God movement — where you (or someone you love) can discover that God is the only worthy Higher Power, how to truly find Him, and why He alone is the healthy, life-giving addiction your soul was made for. I’m not a scientist, doctor, researcher, or Bible scholar. I’m just a girl with an addictive personality who loves Jesus and the Bible — and who has spent over a decade mentoring and teaching incarcerated women. My burning passion is helping people who feel defeated by life find real victory over worldly addictions through freedom in Christ. Whether your struggle feels “small” (sugar, caffeine, approval, scrolling…) or it has already cost you relationships, health, freedom, or nearly your life — there is real hope here. No shame. No judgment. Just honest stories, biblical truth, and practical steps toward lasting change. Come do life with us. Subscribe and share so we can walk toward real freedom in Christ together.

  Episode #23

  Why Become Like Jesus? Ep. 23

  Jul 28, 202625 minS1

  In Episode 21 I said the ultimate goal of reading the Bible is to become like Jesus. If you’re new to faith (or still figuring it all out), that can sound confusing. Become like who ? A guy who walked on water and only shows up at Christmas and Easter? This episode answers that question head-on. I walk through 10 real, powerful traits of Jesus that show why people dropped everything to follow Him—and why broken, addicted, messed-up people like me can’t walk away once they truly see Him: Fierce, unconditional love Gut-level compassion Forgiveness that costs everything Emotional honesty and presence Joy and radical generosity Patient persistence that never quits Servant leadership Courageous truth-telling Radical inclusion (He sees the ones nobody else sees) The truest friendship you’ll ever know This isn’t religion. It’s a Person. And once you meet the real Jesus in Scripture, the craving shifts. What used to satisfy doesn’t satisfy anymore. Challenge this week: Open one of the Gospels (John is a great place to start) and pray, “Jesus, show me who You really are.” Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahannieschneider/ ▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@AddictedToGod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sarahannieschneider Substack: https://substack.com/@sarahannieschneider Email (guest stories welcome): addictedtogodpod@gmail.com #AddictedToGod #WhoIsJesus #JesusTraits #ChristianPodcast #BibleStudy #Sanctification #FallInLoveWithJesus #FreedomInChrist #ChristianWomen #FaithJourney #GospelTruth #JesusIsEnough #TransferYourAddiction #ChristianLiving #HopeAndRedemption

  Jul 14, 202625 min

  In this foundational episode of the Addicted to God Podcast, host Sarah Annie Schneider tackles one of the most common questions she receives: “I want to read the Bible, but I don’t know where to start.” Using a relatable Couch-to-5K analogy, Sarah walks through practical steps to build a sustainable habit of engaging with God’s Word—starting with the right tools, scheduling devotional time, finding accountability, progressing gradually, and celebrating progress. She emphasizes that the Bible is a limitless love letter from God, accessible to everyone from beginners to lifelong scholars. Discover why the Gospel of John is the perfect starting point, explore powerful verses that reveal Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and learn the simple S.O.A.P. Bible study method (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) that you can do in as little as 10 minutes.

  Episode #20

  Why God? Why God's Word? Why Me? Ep. 20

  Jul 7, 202627 minS1

  In this foundational episode, Sarah Annie Schneider makes the compelling case for pursuing a deep, intimate relationship with God and His living Word—especially if you’re new to faith, feeling distant from God, or stuck in destructive cycles you can’t seem to break. Drawing from over a decade mentoring women in jail, personal testimony, and Scripture (Ecclesiastes 3:11, Psalm 139, Ephesians 3:20-21, and more), Sarah shares why nothing else satisfies the eternity God has placed in our hearts. She dismantles misconceptions of a distant, angry God and reveals the One who knit you together, calls you by name, chose you before the foundation of the world, and proved His love by sending Jesus while we were still a mess. You’ll discover why the Bible isn’t an outdated book but the alive, active, God-breathed Word that transforms, renews your mind, and brings clarity in chaos (as Sarah experienced during COVID). God can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine—turning pits into platforms, pain into purpose, and addiction into abundant life through Christ. Resources Recommended: Becoming Myself by Stasi Eldredge (a turning point for processing unworthiness and childhood wounds): Search on Amazon or your favorite bookstore . The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel (former atheist journalist’s investigation that led to faith; also available as a movie): Search on Amazon or your favorite bookstore. If you prayed to surrender to Jesus today, welcome to the journey! This is the beginning of your rescue.

Learn practical steps to find and nurture these life-giving bonds: pray boldly, take initiative with coffee or walks, join small groups or Bible studies, and embrace gentle restoration over shame. Sarah also addresses using people to fill God-sized voids, the priority of loving God first, and the anchor of Jesus—the friend who never fails. Special shout-out and honor to Francis Chan and the Crazy Love Podcast : Francis, your teachings on wholehearted surrender, radical obedience, and a high view of God have deeply inspired this movement.
