Kelsea reflects on an impactful realization she had while reading a familiar Bible story. She and Drew then discuss how God often brings provision through difficult circumstances.

If we are new to the faith, or come from rigid religious circles, hard times can feel like heavenly punishment for our own mistakes or shortcomings. However, Kelsea's reflections reveal more insight and depth to God's character.

A lack of emotional submission to the Father can actually leave us vulnerable to the temptation of lust, specifically in pornography.

Drew and Kelsea spend time discussing why living fully surrendered to God matters in our fight against sin. In fighting pornography, lines of defense, like accountability partners, porn-blocking apps, and removing phone access are all beneficial, AND we must also guard our emotions from the enemy.

Drew and Kelsea start by openly talking about how they struggled recording this episode due to their own negative thoughts.

2 Corinthians 10:5, Philippians 4:8, & 1 Peter 5:8 are all referenced.

This is a Spirit-inspired episode discussing something that may seem trivial, but can be pivotal for our lives and relationships. One battlefield Satan attacks us is our minds, so it is imperative for us to adequately learn how to rebuke the enemy from our thoughts and consistently pursue a Kingdom mindset.
