Finding My Voice: Which Style Helps Hurting People Most?

*A 3-Video Experiment in Truth-Telling*

“Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.” —Colossians 4:6

This week, I filmed three versions of the same message about addiction recovery—each with a radically different tone. Why? Because the 72 million Americans struggling with substance abuse don’t all need the same approach. Some need fire. Some need balm. All need truth.

Below, you’ll find all three styles. Watch them. Then tell me: Which one reaches you where you are?

The Experiment

(Click each title to watch)

1. The Calm Approach

• Style: Gentle, scriptural, therapeutic
• Best for: Those early in questioning their drinking
• Key Quote: “God’s mercies are new every morning—even after relapse.” (Lamentations 3:22-23)

2. The Authentic Raw Take

• Style: Unfiltered, selfie-stick honesty, shaky voice
• Best for: Those tired of polished recovery lies
• Key Quote: “I spent $18,700 on addiction last year. Here’s the receipt.”

3. The Righteous Anger

• Style: Prophetic, table-flipping intensity
• Best for: Those ready to fight systemic exploitation
• Key Quote: “AA’s 90% failure rate isn’t an accident—it’s a business model!” (John 2:15)

Why This Matters

The Bible models all three tones for different moments:

• Jesus wept with the broken (John 11:35)
• Jesus told raw stories (Prodigal Son)
• Jesus overturned tables (Matthew 21:12)

Addiction demands the same holy flexibility.
