No “I’ll do better next week.”What you’ll hear in this episodeWhy Scripture commands execution, not management, of sin (Rom. 8:13; Col. 3:5)The two ditches: rebellious sin and religious sin—and how both destroy homes and churchesReal repentance (agreement, honesty, forsaking, accountability) vs. vague guilt and self-punishmentMortification 101: cutting sin at the root, not trimming its fruitHolding ground after victory: armor, habits, church, and guardrails that lastA blunt, practical weekly challenge you can start todayKey Scriptures (read in-episode)Romans 8:13; Colossians 3:5; 1 Corinthians 9:27; Luke 9:23;Romans 6:6; Colossians 3:3; Hebrews 12:1–2;1 Peter 3:18; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:9; Proverbs 28:13; James 5:16;Matthew 6:10; Luke 22:42; Luke 11:13; Matthew 12:33;Romans 6:11; Ephesians 4:22–24; Ephesians 6:10–18If this helped:• Subscribe for weekly episodes that forge men by the Word.• Share this with a brother who needs to kill his sin as well.• Comment on the sin that God has redeemed you from today.#BiblicalManhood #ChristianMen #ServantLeadership #Headship
