Are you giving the enemy access without realizing it?

In this episode, Pastor Stephanie and Dr. Erica Jewel discuss what it means to “give place to the devil” and how the things we watch, listen to, repeat, pursue, and entertain can subtly open doors in our spiritual lives. From social media and streaming platforms to beauty standards, personal habits, and everyday influences, they challenge believers to examine what captures their attention and whether it draws them closer to God or dulls their sensitivity to Him. Not everything we enjoy is sin, but repeated exposure to certain influences can shift our focus, feed our flesh, and gradually make things that once convicted us seem normal. Sometimes the question is not simply, “Is this wrong?” but “What is this producing in me?”

What We Talk About:

• What it means to “give place to the devil.”
• How seemingly innocent habits can open spiritual doors.
• Recognizing what has your attention and influence.
• How social media, entertainment, and binge-watching can distract us from God.
• Why repeated exposure can dull our spiritual sensitivity.
• Checking the motives behind what we pursue, imitate, and desire.
• Guarding our eye gates and ear gates.
• Using fasting, prayer, discipline, and the Word to refocus on God.
• Feeding the spirit instead of feeding the flesh.
• Allowing the Holy Ghost to reveal what needs to change.
• Why believers must continually take inventory of what they are entertaining.

Some doors were never meant to be opened. The question is: How did you get in here?
