Addictions? Generational Curses? How to Break Free with Allen Parr & Bobby Conway

John 8:36 states, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” So why can the same old sins, fears, habits, and wounds keep dragging us down? Frank joins fellow apologists Allen Parr and Bobby Conway from CIA 2026 in Charlotte, NC for a candid conversation about the battles Christians don’t always like to admit they’re fighting. Drawing from their own struggles and Allen’s new book, Breaking Through, they unpack what sanctification looks like when getting saved happens in a moment, but becoming more like Christ takes a lifetime. They’ll tackle questions like:

If Christ sets you free, why can you still feel trapped by the same sins and bad habits?

What are “soul chains,” and how can you tell if one has a grip on your life?

How does God change us, and what role do we play in the sanctification process?

Can Christians really be under generational curses, or is something else going on?

Why are accountability and guardrails so important without turning the Christian life into legalism?

What can Billy Graham teach us about avoiding temptation before the battle even starts?

What are the three major traps that can derail your life, and how do you recognize them before it’s too late?

What’s the problem with “quick fixes” and how can they stunt your spiritual growth?

If you’re ready to renew your mind, rewire destructive habits, and pursue holiness without confusing it with legalism, this conversation will help. And once you’re ready to take the next step, be sure to check out some of the helpful resources listed below!
