    Temptation- The Craving Beneath the Craving

    When temptation shows up, everything feels urgent. Your brain narrows. Your body wants relief. So what do you actually do right then? In this episode, we walk through real-time strategies for dealing with temptation as it happens—when to flee, how to ask better questions, and why cravings often point to deeper longings for beauty, connection, and rest. This isn’t about shame or willpower—it’s about learning to respond with honesty and wisdom.

    The Freedom Found in Forgiveness

    Finding your “Why” behind addiction is a crucial step—but it’s not the end of the healing journey. In this episode, we explore why forgiveness is essential for healing the core wounds, shame, and beliefs that drive addictive patterns. Christian forgiveness is not denial, forgetting, or forced reconciliation; it is a Spirit-empowered release that names real harm and entrusts justice to God. Drawing from Jesus’ teachings, we show how mercy received in Christ becomes the power to release resentment without minimizing pain. This conversation invites you to move from insight into lasting freedom through gospel-shaped forgiveness.

    New Year, New Identity- How to Actually Change in 2026

    Every January we set goals hoping they’ll finally change us. But Scripture and neuroscience say we’ve been doing it backwards. Habits don’t create identity, they reinforce the one you’re already living from. In this episode, we challenge the New Year mindset that says “change first, then you’ll be different.” Through Scripture, neuroscience, and lived experience, we show why lasting formation begins with identity received, not behavior forced.

    What if Your Desires are Actually Good?

    Often, we as Christians find ourselves stuck in the false dichotomy of destroying desire or serving desire. What if there was another way? Today we talk about seeing desire as a pathway to God. When we are in tune with the core of our desires, we'll stop being deceived by them and we can learn to satisfy them in God's good design for us.
