Hope Within Reach Episode 7 | Addiction and The Brain | FEATURING Holly Geyer
What does brain science actually say about addiction—and how does it hold up against Scripture? In this episode, Gary Blackford sits down with Dr. Holly Geyer, addiction medicine specialist at Mayo Clinic and co-author of Ending the Crisis, to explore how opioids hijack the brain's reward system, why some people are more vulnerable than others, and what the Bible has to say about sin, disease, and the path to healing. Whether you're personally navigating addiction or supporting a loved one through it, Dr. Guyer offers clear, practical guidance—from recognizing the warning signs of codependency to understanding the biopsychosocial-spiritual treatment model that treats the whole person, not just the condition. ___________________ READ HOLLY'S BOOK, Ending the Crisis, today!
