Summary

Have you ever felt powerless against temptation, wondering if you'll ever find true freedom from sin? In this episode, I share my testimony of finding freedom from lust and shame, and discovering what it looks like to overcome temptation. I take you through my journey from my first encounter with God to my struggles during college, where I learned that that overcoming temptation isn't about willpower – it's about what we run to when we're tempted. I reveal the three game-changing lessons that transformed my walk with God: understanding the difference between temptation and sin, breaking free from shame through confession, and learning how to truly satisfy sinful desires. But this isn't just my story – it's a roadmap to finding lasting freedom and a deeper love for God than you ever thought possible. Whether you're battling recurring temptations or seeking authentic faith, I share practical wisdom to help you step into the freedom God has for you. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:36.9	never get over it. I'll never get over the trauma, the pain,
0:41.0	the failure, heartbreak mistakes. And as a result of that, God has had to show me, you know,
