CONNECTING THE
HOPE OF THE GOSPEL
WITH THE HEART OF ADDICTION
Addiction Help
Where do I go for help? Is that a good biblical program? At The Addiction Connection (TAC), we want to connect you with people who are caring for souls with a genuinely biblical approach.
Training
We want to equip you to help an addict find hope and help through Jesus Christ. Discover our online courses for families and friends of addicts, fundamentals of addiction biblical counseling, and a course devoted to a biblical analysis of self-help recovery philosophies.
Resources
This is not an online bookstore but a collection of our favorite resources that we have utilized and recommend as we care for souls in a biblical way.
