Episode 18: Standing Firm Against Temptation and Fear

Temptation nibbles at your integrity; fear bullies your future. You don’t have to live pinned between the two. In this straight-shooting episode, Pastor Noel walks you through a biblical, battle-ready plan to face both head-on—without hype and without shame. We unpack how temptation actually works, how to spot your personal triggers, and how to answer lies the way Jesus did in Matthew 4: with Scripture on your tongue and conviction in your steps. We’ll also confront fear with God’s promises (Isaiah 41:10), worship that lifts your eyes above the storm (Acts 16), and faith-filled action that turns trembling into courage.

You’ll leave with practical tools you can use today: a simple “Temptation Map,” a “Fear Step” that converts anxiety into obedience, and a 60-second battle plan for the heat of the moment. Then we suit up with the Armor of God from Ephesians 6—truth that centers you, righteousness that covers you, peace that steadies you, faith that shields you, salvation that guards your mind, and the Word that cuts through the fog—held together by real, continual prayer and honest accountability.
