Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2403031/fan_mail/new] Welcome back to Tempted, a series where we uncover the hidden roots behind the temptations believers face and learn how to overcome them through the power of Jesus Christ.  In Episode 2, we're talking about one of the most common yet least discussed struggles in the Church: lust.  Many people believe lust is simply about sex, but what if it's actually searching for something much deeper?  In this episode, I share my personal testimony of how lust shaped my life from a very young age, the wounds that fueled it, and how God healed me from the inside out. We dive into Scripture to uncover what lust is truly craving—whether it's validation, acceptance, comfort, escape, or intimacy—and how those needs can only be fully satisfied in Christ.  We'll also discuss:  ✝️ The root of loneliness and God's presence  ✝️ The root of rejection and our identity in Christ  ✝️ The root of pain and God's healing  ✝️ How lust affects our relationship with God  ✝️ David, Samson, and Solomon's battles with compromise  ✝️ Practical biblical steps to overcome lust  ✝️ How to take every thought captive  ✝️ Breaking free from shame and walking in freedom  No matter how long you've struggled, there is hope. There is healing. There is freedom through Jesus Christ.  Series: Tempted Episode 2: What Lust Really Wants  📖 Key Scriptures:  *  Mark 7:21-23  *  Psalm 142:4  *  Hebrews 13:5  *  Ephesians 1:4-5  *  1 Peter 5:7  *  Proverbs 18:10  *  1 Thessalonians 5:19  *  Psalm 51  *  1 Corinthians 6:18  *  Romans 12:2  *  James 5:16  *  2 Corinthians 10:5  *  1 Peter 2:9  🙏 If this message encouraged you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who may be struggling in silence.   🎙️ Tempted Series Episode 1: Overcoming People-Pleasing Episode 2: What Lust Really Wants Coming Next: Overcoming Alcoholism   #ChristianPodcast #Lust #ChristianLiving #Faith #JesusChrist #SpiritualGrowth #TemptedSeries #ChristianWomen #BiblicalTruth #FreedomInChrist #ChristianYouTube #Healing #IdentityInChrist #OvercomingTemptation #WhereIsYourVoice   Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2403031/support]

The Hidden Sin of People Pleasing | Tempted Ep. 1 AUDIO VERSION

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2403031/fan_mail/new]  Have you ever felt guilty for saying no? Do you constantly worry about disappointing people, struggle with boundaries, or find yourself seeking approval more than God's direction? In Episode 1 of the Tempted series, we're exposing the hidden sin of people-pleasing and uncovering what the Bible says about the fear of man, unhealthy relationships, boundaries, identity in Christ, and finding freedom from the need for constant approval. People-pleasing often disguises itself as kindness, generosity, or being a "good Christian." But when our desire for approval becomes greater than our desire for obedience, it can quietly pull us away from God's purpose for our lives. In this episode, we'll discuss: ✔ What people-pleasing really is ✔ How childhood wounds, relationships, and even church culture can contribute to it ✔ Why people-pleasing is rooted in fear rather than love ✔ Signs you may be struggling with people-pleasing ✔ How unhealthy relationships often thrive on a lack of boundaries ✔ What Jesus teaches about choosing obedience over approval ✔ How God's perfect love casts out the fear of rejection ✔ Practical and biblical steps to break free Key Scriptures: 📖 Matthew 10 📖 Matthew 11:28-30 📖 Galatians 1:10 📖 Proverbs 29:25 📖 Romans 12:2 📖 1 Corinthians 15:33 📖 1 John 4:18 If you've ever felt exhausted from trying to keep everyone happy, this message is for you. ✨ TEMPTED SERIES ✨ This is Episode 1 of the Tempted series, where we explore common temptations believers face and how God's Word equips us to overcome them.

8 Tactics Satan Uses Against Believers | Satan’s Playbook - Audio Version

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2403031/fan_mail/new]  The Bible does not leave believers blind to how the enemy operates. In this episode, we break down 8 real tactics Satan uses against believers according to Scripture — not fear-based opinions, but biblical truth. From deception, accusation, spiritual infiltration, provocation, and subtle compromise to the influence of culture and the “prince of the power of the air,” this episode takes a deep dive into how the enemy operates and how believers overcome through Jesus Christ. We discuss: * “Steal, kill, and destroy” explained deeply * How Satan masquerades as an angel of light * Why the enemy studies weaknesses and vulnerabilities * Spiritual infiltration and planted weeds among the wheat * How accusation traps believers in shame cycles * Why social media, culture, and influence matter spiritually * The importance of surrender, truth, and the armor of God * How to stand against the schemes of the devil This is not an episode meant to create fear. It’s meant to create discernment. Because awareness matters in spiritual warfare. 📖 Key Scriptures: John 10:10 2 Corinthians 11:14 1 Peter 5:8 Daniel 7:25 Ephesians 4:26–27 Genesis 3:1 Matthew 13:25 Revelation 12:10 Ephesians 2:2 Ephesians 6 🎙️ Podcast: Where Is Your Voice Ministries #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualWarfare #BibleStudy #JesusChrist #Christianity #Faith #Satan #BiblicalTruth #ArmorOfGod #Discernment #ChristianYouTube #God #EndTimes #HolySpirit #WhereIsYourVoiceMinistries Keywords: 8 tactics Satan uses against believers, Satan’s playbook, spiritual warfare podcast, Christian spiritual warfare, biblical tactics of the enemy, how Satan attacks believers, armor of God teaching, Satan masquerades as angel of light, prince of the power of the air explained, accusation and condemnation biblical meaning, Christian podcast on warfare, biblical discernment, end times deception, Christian teaching on Satan, spiritual attacks explained, how to overcome the enemy, Christian warfare sermon, Bible teaching on deception, spiritual warfare for Christians, Jesus defeats the enemy  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2403031/support]

Why Getting Everything You Wanted Still Leaves You Empty - AUDIO version

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2403031/fan_mail/new] Have you ever finally gotten the thing you prayed for… and still felt empty afterward? The car. The relationship. The money. The success. The attention. The house. The validation. In this episode, we’re talking about why so many of us spend years chasing fulfillment in temporary things, only to realize that nothing truly satisfies the soul outside of Jesus. We dive deep into: * the woman at the well * idols we don’t realize we have * validation, lust, success, and people pleasing * why temporary things can never heal eternal hunger * what REAL fulfillment in Christ actually looks like This episode is not about condemning people for wanting things. God is not against blessings, goals, relationships, or success. The danger begins when we expect created things to give us the peace, identity, and fulfillment that only God can provide. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.” — Matthew 6:33 If you’ve been feeling empty, restless, spiritually exhausted, or stuck chasing things that never truly satisfy, this episode is for you. 🎙️ Welcome to Where Is Your Voice Ministries. #ChristianPodcast #Jesus #Fulfillment #WomanAtTheWell #ChristianWomen #Faith #God #Healing #IdentityInChrist #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianYouTube #BibleStudy #Purpose #ChristianEncouragement #ChristianMotivation Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2403031/support]
