Run from lust.
Avoid triggers at all costs.

✅ The physical and spiritual connection between urges and growth
✅ How to sit in the tension, feel the pull—and still walk in truth
✅ Why temptation isn’t your enemy… it’s your training ground
✅ How to rewire your brain through practicing righteousness

Why running from temptation might be keeping you stuck—and how to flip the script.

🔥 What We Talk About:

Most of us were taught: "Just flee temptation." But what if that advice is keeping you spiritually weak?

In this episode, Justin and Richard dismantle a commonly misused phrase—“flee temptation”—and explain why that mindset can actually deepen your slavery to sin. They walk through what Scripture actually says (and doesn’t say), and challenge you to view temptation as a training ground, not a trap.

Key highlights:

• 📖 Scripture never says “flee temptation” — we show you what it does say instead
  
  
  
• 💪 Why temptation is spiritual leg day—the thing that makes you strong, not sinful
  
  
  
• 🧠 How your mindset (Expectation Effect) shapes your strength in moments of weakness
  
  
  
• 🛠️ Practical steps to engage temptation without fear and walk in freedom
  
  
  
• 🙏 A powerful prayer for those still wrestling with shame, discomfort, or fear
  
  
  

🧩 Practical Tools & Takeaways:

• Matthew 4:1 — Jesus was led by the Spirit into temptation
  
  
  
• Hebrews 4:15 — Jesus was tempted in every way, yet without sin
  
  
  
• James 1:12 — "Blessed is the one who endures temptation..."
  
  
  
• Reframe: Temptation isn't your enemy—it’s your opportunity to grow stronger in truth.
  
  
  
• Identity Shift: Stop seeing yourself as weak and about to fail. You are free, equipped, and filled with the Spirit.
  
  
  

💬 One-Liner Takeaway:

“Temptation is not the problem—it’s the place where freedom becomes real.”

🎧 Listen now if you’ve ever thought:

• “Why am I still tempted if I’m free?”
  
  
  
• “Does temptation mean I’m sinning already?”
  
  
  
• “How do I stop running and start growing?”

🔥 EPISODE SNAPSHOT

Freedom doesn’t happen alone.
It’s not just about willpower, filters, or white-knuckling your way through temptation.

If you want real, lasting freedom from porn—you need a grace-filled community.

In this episode, Richard and Justin unpack how shame drives isolation, and why the enemy loves to keep you there. You'll hear personal stories, biblical wisdom, and an invitation into something far more powerful than “trying harder.” Because according to Scripture—and experience—transformation is a team sport.

🧠 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• Why shame isolates—and grace brings healing
  
  
  
• How Jesus modeled vulnerability in His darkest hour (Gethsemane wasn’t a solo mission)
  
  
  
• What Sequoia trees and your spiritual health have in common
  
  
  
• How real confession leads to real healing—not guilt
  
  
  
• Why freedom thrives in truth-filled, grace-driven relationships
  
  
  

💬 QUOTABLE MOMENTS

“Community isn’t a crutch—it’s a strategy of heaven.”

“Confessing to God is powerful. But confessing to a brother? That’s where healing explodes.”

“The devil wants you isolated. God calls you into family.”

💡 BIG IDEA:

Freedom is your new normal—but it doesn’t grow in isolation.
If shame keeps you quiet, community breaks the silence with truth.

🛠️ PRACTICAL TAKEAWAY

• Don’t just find any community—find a grace-filled one.
  
  
  
• Surround yourself with people who speak to your identity in Christ—not your past.
