Are You Addicted to “Doing Good”? | S4E12 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

December 29, 2025 · 1 hr 33 min

This one starts hilarious and ends way deeper than expected. Adam, Sammy, Jeff, and returning co-host Will Chung kick things off with holiday chaos, inside jokes, and stories that make you say, “Wait… y’all really did that?!” But the conversation pivots into something real: how leaders can look “put together” on the outside while still carrying old patterns on the inside.They talk burnout, capacity, and the difference between abstinence and actual recovery—how you can stop destructive habits but still be chasing the same inner need through “better-looking” addictions like work, ministry, or achievement. They unpack the question “What’s wrong with me?” vs. “What happened to me?”, how trauma shows up in the body, and why Sabbath, rhythms, and honest self-awareness matter if you want longevity. It’s funny, reflective, and surprisingly freeing—especially if you’ve been running on fumes.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Samuel Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Jeff Osborne https://www.instagram.com/jefftosborne/Will Chung https://www.instagram.com/willkchung/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?
