    Why You Keep Falling Back Into Lust (It's Not Willpower) | Discord Stage #069
    πŸ“² Make God a daily habit in your life: https://download.coreoftheheart.com/spotify-uw If you keep falling back into lust, it's not because you're not trying hard enough. Someone asked me how to deal with temptation when they're not strong enough and keep falling short. Most of us fight it like we're fighting fire with fire. Then we fall once and immediately go, "Now I'm a porn addict. Now I'm a backsliding Christian." We turn what we did into who we are. But the Bible says you're still a new creature, and the righteous fall seven times. Don't trust the lust. Trust in God.

    If You Think You Wasted Your 20s, Watch This | #082 | Unlearned Wisdom

    I spent many years in prison, and if I could give myself advice 20 years ago, here is what I would say. Stop trying to prove that you're strong, or that you're not broken, because that caused my own demise. I was scared to be myself, and I cared too much about what people thought of me. When you're broken, you think you've wasted your years, but God can use those years too. He takes everything that's broken and makes it beautiful again.

    Prison Didn't Break Me, Trying To Be A "Good Christian" Did | #081 | Unlearned Wisdom

    πŸ“² Make God a daily habit in your life: https://download.coreoftheheart.com/spotify-uw

    I grew up in a strict Christian home, but by my teens I was deep in gang life, and it landed me in prison with two felonies. When I became a Christian, I hid my tattoos and chased a title in the church so I could feel good enough. Trying to earn my way to God gave me panic attacks so bad, I begged doctors to scan my brain for a tumor. It got so dark I had thoughts of taking my own life. Then I heard one message about salvation, and for the first time, all that anxiety finally left.

    In this video, I talk about why we reach for things like food, drugs, or pills, and how it is really about trying to fill a part of us that only God can fill. A man wrote in and told me he quit drugs, smoking, and drinking, but he is still stuck on pills, so I helped him see the difference between guilt and conviction.

    In this video, I sit down with Mimi, whose dad was abusive to her when she was seven years old. She told her mom when she was fifteen, but she did not believe her. She waited twenty-three years to talk to her dad about it. In this episode, she shares her story and how she found peace.
