Zack Gudzan Podcast - Faith and Sobriety

By Zack Gudzan

In 2014, I was ready to end my life. A life of partying quickly became a life of addiction and despair. Thankfully, God had another plan. This is my story, and new pages are being written every day. Life is beautiful - every broken part of it.👊 Instagram: @zackgudzan

The Labels of Addiction and Alcoholism

The Labels of Addiction and Alcoholism

Life and death are in the power of the tongue. The words we say to ourselves and to others have the power to create or destroy.

Your Grace Is Sufficient

Your Grace Is Sufficient

Well. This was supposed to be Week 2 of our Bible Study. As soon as I started talking, God redirected my spirit to just be honest with you and tell you where I’m at. Through it all, His grace is sufficient.

Pray for Wisdom

Pray for Wisdom

If you aren’t spending time in prayer, you are selling yourself short. There’s nothing more precious than Jesus. My hope is that this prayer will light a fire in you. A hunger. A longing for true relationship with your Maker. God wants your heart. He made your heart. Your purpose is to glorify Him. Start doing it. I love you. Deeply. -Zack

The Walk

The Walk

I’m literally on a walk as I record this episode - enjoying nature, appreciating life, and talking with my Creator. It’s good to do that. All He ever wanted, from the very beginning of Creation, was a walking, talking relationship with us. Hopefully this time of reflection will help remind you of what’s truly important. Much love! -Zack

Freedom - Guided Meditation

Freedom - Guided Meditation

I’d like to encourage you to remove all distractions, close your eyes, and reflect on this message. There’s no better use of your time than to spend it with the Lord. My prayer is that He will speak to you, and that you will hear Him. God longs for relationship with you. He made you for relationship. You are His precious son. You are His precious daughter. You are royalty. Jesus has already paid the price for your freedom. Acknowledge this truth, and you will be free indeed. ***Reach out on Instagram - @zackgudzan. I’d love to hear from you!!!!

The Instagram Trap

The Instagram Trap

I love social media. It also drives me insane. The other day, I caught myself mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, and the Holy Spirit called me out. Have you noticed our generation becoming more mindless and less mindful? Does God have anything to say about this? Is there a way to use social media for good? As always, please message me on Instagram @zackgudzan and let me know you listened to this podcast. It would mean a lot to me!

Dear Church

Dear Church

Where to even begin? Our churches have empty rooms, while homeless people are on the streets. I’m doing the math, and it just doesn’t add up. It’s time for change!

I’m Not an Alcoholic (Anymore)

I’m Not an Alcoholic (Anymore)

This might ruffle some feathers. But whatever. This is just my take on alcoholism and the stigma that comes with identifying as an alcoholic/addict in recovery. I love you. -Zack

Doing the Will of God

Doing the Will of God

We live in a world of overwhelm. So much to do, so little time. Yet...we do nothing. What\u2019s that about? Does overwhelm cripple you sometimes? God puts dreams in our hearts for a reason. It\u2019s His will - and it\u2019s up to us to carry that out.

Got to serve the homeless in Venice Beach today. And it was awesome. What if that kind of love became normal for us, and not just \u201cvolunteer work\u201d?

After a few weeks of \u201cblah\u201d, I felt myself light up again today. Being back on the road is giving me that inner drive (pun intended), and I freaking love going West. Here\u2019s to gratitude, kindness, and all the things that make us smile.

Learning to Say No

I'm a people pleaser. I love people. I get my energy from surrounding myself with positive people. But sometimes living like that affects my productivity. I have to learn to say no to things. Enjoy!

Start With "Why"

Start With "Why"

When the anxiety sets in, or you're feeling burned out and "blah", you need to ask yourself a question: "Why am I alive today?" If you can answer that, with God's help, you will find that fire again.
