Listen "The Devil Made Me Do It—But My Desires Held the Door Open” (An honest look at how we get in our own way.)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive into the book of James, chapter 1, where things get real about temptation—and who’s really responsible when we mess up. Spoiler alert: it’s not God. It’s not even always the devil. Sometimes, it’s just… us.
We talk about how temptation starts with our own desires, how it lures us in, and how it grows into sin if we’re not careful. We’ll break down what James meant when he said “God does not tempt anyone,” and how instead, “every good and perfect gift comes from above.”
So, grab your coffee and your conviction—because we’re laughing, learning, and leaving excuses at the door. Let’s talk about taking responsibility, finding grace, and walking in the freedom God actually wants for us.
