Episode Summary:
In this episode, we are going on the offense against sin and temptation. Victory over sin starts with recognizing the real enemy—often not just Satan, but our own desires, doubts, and excuses. Real freedom comes when we stop playing games, get honest with God, and let our desire for Him outweigh our desire for sin. God doesn’t want mere progress; He wants to transform us and give us true victory. Whether you’re a believer or not, His way is better, and it’s time to confront the enemy.
Scripture:
James 1:13-15
"Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God, for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin and sin when its fully grown brings forth death"

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
