About the Sermon

Addiction doesn’t always look like rock bottom. Sometimes it looks like high-functioning survival—secret habits, emotional crutches, and quiet dependencies that no one else sees. In this message from Ben Davis Christian Church, discover how the Apostle Paul’s words in Romans 6 speak directly into the battle so many of us face. Whether it’s alcohol, food, screens, or stress shopping, Jesus offers real freedom—not just forgiveness. If you’re tired of managing pain with temporary fixes, The Struggle Is Real will show you how to walk toward honesty, healing, and daily surrender. Because the struggle is real—but so is the Savior.
