Temporary Highs

In this transparent episode, I get real about temptation, distractions, instant gratification, and the vices that so many of us struggle with. We all know how easy it is to run to the things that make us feel good in the moment like sex, food, drugs, entertainment, relationships, or even just endless distractions. But the truth is, those temporary highs never truly satisfy. They leave us empty, searching, and sometimes cost us more than we ever expected to pay.

The enemy loves to tempt us most when we are tired, uncertain, or at our lowest moments. But temptation is not just a trap, it's also an opportunity. An opportunity to grow in self-control, to strengthen our faith, and to choose God's way over our own.

In this conversation, I share:

• The reality of why we lean on vices when life gets hard
• How the enemy uses our distractions to pull us away from God's best
• Biblical examples of men who gave in to temporary pleasures (Esau, David, Solomon, etc) and the lessons we can learn from their stories
• Jesus' example of resisting temptation in the wilderness
• Practical ways to overcome temptation and build new habits: prayer, fasting, Scripture, community, and even healthy outlets like fitness and creativity

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in cycles of temporary highs but desires real freedom. You are not alone in the struggle. God has given us the strength, the tools, and the grace to overcome.
