Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction
Setting Boundaries with Love: Finding Your Identity in Christ Beyond Motherhood

In this powerful conversation, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Stephanie Jordan—author, speaker, and mother of five—to explore one of the most challenging aspects of parenting: knowing when to hold on and when to let go. Stephanie shares raw, honest insights about boundaries, codependency, and trusting God with our children's journeys.


From her personal experience as a widow raising five young children to navigating her teens' struggles with identity and choices, Stephanie offers biblical wisdom for parents who feel stuck between protecting their kids and controlling their lives. She challenges the common trap of finding our identity in our children's successes or failures, reminding us that maintaining relationships "at all costs" may actually cost us—and them—everything eternally.


Key points discussed:

  • Understanding Boundaries as God's Design
  • The Codependency Trap in Parenting
  • Practical Boundaries for Teens and Young Adults
  • The Two Paths Principle
  • Trusting God Over Control
  • Moving from Codependence to Interdependence
  • Practical Tools
  • Stephanie's Widowhood Journey

Join host Tanya Gioia as she sits down with Kim Mosiman, author, coach, and grandmother, for an intimate conversation about rediscovering faith and identity in life's second act.

Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction
Finding Strength in Scars - Avonley Lightstone's Journey of Resilience


Join host Tanya Gioia on the Faith Over Addiction Podcast for a deeply moving conversation with author Avonley Lightstone, whose story of survival and faith will leave you forever changed.


At just three years old, Avonley tried to save her mother from a devastating house fire while her father lay unconscious from drinking. Though she survived with severe burns covering much of her body, her mother tragically died after three agonizing days in the hospital. What followed was abandonment by her father, placement in an orphanage, and eventual adoption into a family where emotional, physical, and spiritual abuse became her new reality.


But this isn't just a story of trauma—it's a testament to the incredible resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of faith. Through years of struggle, including battles with suicidal thoughts and spiritual warfare, Avonley discovered true forgiveness, learned to hear God's voice clearly, and found her purpose in helping others heal.

In this raw and honest conversation, Avonley shares:


  • The harrowing details of the house fire and her painful recovery process
  • How abandonment and adoption led to years of abuse and identity struggles
  • Her journey through different spiritual practices and the dangers she encountered
  • The pivotal moment when God told her "You did all you could. Now give it to me."
  • What true biblical forgiveness actually looks like
  • How she broke free from victim mindset and suicidal ideation
  • Her calling to help others find healing and give God a chance


This episode contains difficult subject matter but offers profound hope for anyone who has experienced trauma, abuse, family dysfunction, or spiritual confusion. Avonley's transparency about her darkest moments—and God's faithfulness through them all—provides a roadmap for finding beauty in brokenness and strength through scars.


Content Warning: This episode discusses house fire, severe burns, child abuse, suicidal ideation, and spiritual warfare. Listener discretion advised.

Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction
Surrendering to the Flow of Life with Amilynne Carroll

Join host Tanya Gioia for an incredibly powerful conversation with AmiLynne "Babs" Carroll, a certified Holistic Practitioner and Holistic Life Coach who has transformed profound personal challenges into a ministry of hope and healing. After receiving an expiration date from doctors in 2007 and later experiencing a stroke that left her quadriplegic in 2022, AmiLynne shares how surrendering control led to her most fulfilling life yet.

In this deeply moving episode, AmiLynne reveals how we're not meant to change who we are, but rather remember who we've always been - God's perfect, whole, and complete children. She introduces practical tools like the "Yellow Light Process" and explains why taking "mommy timeouts" isn't selfish but essential stewardship of what God has given us.


From her journey through multiple cancer diagnoses to finding peace as a quadriplegic, AmiLynne's story demonstrates that our circumstances don't define our wholeness. Her nickname "Babs" (badass butterfly) came from courageously intervening in a domestic violence situation, embodying the truth that butterflies can fly even with 70% of their wings damaged.


This episode will challenge listeners to examine what they're trying to control that belongs to God, how to find their "soul sisters" for support, and why every situation contains both a lesson and a blessing. AmiLynne's vulnerability and wisdom offer hope for anyone feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or struggling to surrender control.


Key Takeaways for Listeners:

  1. You are not broken and don't need fixing - you need remembering
  2. Every situation contains both a lesson and a blessing
  3. Control is an illusion; command centers require community
  4. Self-care is stewardship, not selfishness
  5. God is always present, especially when we feel most alone

The Neuroscience of Trauma Bonds with Dr. Angela Deulen

Welcome to Faith Over Addiction, where we explore your identity in Christ. This podcast centers on women who have been caring for loved ones who are struggling with addiction and may have lost themselves or abandoned their relationship with God in the process.


In this powerful episode, host Tanya Gioia interviews Dr. Angela Deulen, who brings a unique Christian perspective to neuroscience with her clinical background, PhD, and true calling to share Jesus with others. Together, they unpack how we get neurobiologically hooked into relationships - revealing that it's not just our minds that connect, but our bodies create actual chemical bonds too.


Key Points Discussed:


  • The Oxytocin Connection
  • Survival Mechanisms from Childhood
  • Biblical Perspective on Relationships
  • Breaking the Trauma Bond Cycle
  • The Nervous System Connection


About the Guest:

Dr. Angela Deulen is an expert in behavioral neuroscience and neurotheology who combines clinical psychology with a deep Christian faith. As an adult child of an alcoholic family who attended AA meetings throughout childhood, she brings both personal experience and professional expertise to understanding addiction's impact on families. Her approach emphasizes that science must be interpreted through Scripture, not the other way around.

Reclaiming Feminine Power with Alegria Moran

In this deeply vulnerable and transformative conversation, Alegria shares her journey from rock bottom in Japan during the 2011 earthquake to finding spiritual recovery through the 12-step program. She discusses the complex relationship between shame and healing, the practice of living in the present moment, and how she reclaimed her authentic feminine power after years of survival-mode living.


Guest Bio

Alegria Moran is a recovery advocate, coach, and author whose name means "happiness and joy." After overcoming a decade-long struggle with addiction and prostitution, Alegria has dedicated her life to helping women exit the adult industry and break free from shame cycles. She is 14 years clean and sober, living in Dublin, Ireland, and is currently writing her book "I Want Out."


Core Insights

  • Letting Go Paradox – Freedom comes from accepting thoughts and feelings, not fighting them.
  • Shame Recovery – Healing shame is a daily practice; stay present to avoid past/future traps.
  • Subconscious Loops – 95% of thoughts are subconscious; awareness breaks repetitive cycles.
  • Authentic Femininity – True feminine power flows from authenticity and intuition, not manipulation or appearance.

Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction
40 Years in the Wilderness - A Journey of Identity and Spiritual Warfare

What does it look like to walk through 40 years in the wilderness with God—and still come out with unshakable faith?


In this honest and hope-filled episode, Tom Snow joins Tanya Gioia to share his extraordinary story of healing, heartbreak, and deep spiritual transformation. Diagnosed with terminal cancer as a teen, Tom experienced a miraculous healing that set him on a decades-long journey of wrestling with faith, church abuse, and personal trauma. He opens up about the struggles of an abusive marriage, spiritual warfare, false belief systems in religious circles, and a powerful late-night parking lot encounter with God that changed everything.


Tom’s story will speak deeply to women navigating the emotional storms of loving someone in addiction. If you’ve ever felt disillusioned with church, overwhelmed by guilt, or spiritually stuck—this conversation will help you rediscover the God who sees you, heals you, and walks with you.


Key Points Covered:

  • Healed by God, Haunted by Guilt – Tom’s miraculous healing was clouded by false guilt over his mother’s illness
  • Spiritual Warfare Is Surrender – True power lies in yielding to God, not dramatic battles.
  • Church Hurt Runs Deep – Abuse in marriage and ministry left lasting wounds—but God never left.
  • God Meets Us in the Breakdown – A raw, late-night confrontation led to deep healing and honesty with God.


Faith Isn’t Performance – Real transformation comes from intimacy with God, not religious striving.


Books & Resources Mentioned:

The Daily Stand – A spiritual warfare guide rooted in daily relationship with God

Set the Captives Free – An honest look at church abuse, religious trauma, and reclaiming freedom in Christ

Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction
Rewiring the Brain to Drink Less: The Alcohol Recovery Method No One Is Talking About

In this powerful episode, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Katie Lain to explore the science behind The Sinclair Method (TSM) — a revolutionary, medication-assisted approach to alcohol recovery that works while someone is still drinking. Katie shares her personal 10-year struggle with alcohol, her discovery of TSM, and the hope it offers to those who haven’t found success in traditional recovery programs.


They also dive into how addiction rewires the brain, why abstinence isn’t always the answer, and how faith and freedom can work hand in hand. If you or someone you love feels stuck in the cycle of addiction or relapse, this episode brings real hope and a path forward.


Key Points Discussed

  • Addiction changes brain chemistry — it’s not just about willpower.
  • The Sinclair Method uses naltrexone to reduce the brain’s reward from alcohol.
  • Over time, this approach helps people unlearn addiction and reduce cravings.
  • TSM is effective for alcohol, porn, sex, gambling, and binge eating.
  • The treatment is private, affordable (~$99/month), and done from home.
  • Less than 2% of eligible individuals are offered naltrexone due to industry resistance.
  • Katie shares how she came to faith after recovery, realizing God doesn’t require us to be “fixed” first.
  • The Holy Spirit brings gentle conviction, not shame — inviting us to freedom.

Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction
Why Seeking God First Changes Everything

In this powerful episode of Faith Over Addiction, host Tanya Gioia welcomes Anita Keagy Christian speaker, author, and founder of The Joy Shop. Anita shares her deeply personal journey of faith, loss, and redemption that led to writing two transformative books about seeking God first in all areas of life.


What You'll Discover:

  • How a teenage pregnancy and adoption decision at 17 became the foundation for understanding God's heart for His children
  • The life-changing moment when Anita reconnected with her birth daughter after 21 years through letters filed at an adoption agency
  • A profound revelation from Acts 17 that transformed Anita's understanding of why we're created to seek God
  • The spiritual truth behind addiction: we seek other things when we should be seeking God first
  • Practical steps for building daily intimacy with God through prayer, Bible reading, and journaling
  • How God's love remains constant even during our darkest seasons, including mental health struggles and menopause


Anita's story beautifully illustrates how God uses our deepest pain to reveal His heart for us. Just as she longed for her daughter to read her love letters, God longs for us to open His Word and experience His unfailing love. The solution to addiction isn't found in fighting the behavior, but in seeking God first and allowing Him to fill the emptiness that drives us to seek satisfaction elsewhere.
