She sat across the desk from her therapist and said the same thing she’d been saying for three years: “I know why I do it. I just can’t stop.”
The secular world is not wrong that bondage is real. Therapists, neuroscientists, and sociologists have mapped its terrain with impressive precision — and Christians would be foolish to dismiss what they’ve found. But the biblical view of bondage goes somewhere the secular map cannot follow. Not because Scripture ignores the psychological or the systemic, but because it insists that beneath every visible chain lies a spiritual root.
