In this episode, Ryan tackles a tough question: how many times must I say “no” to temptation before the desire finally fades? Is a life-long struggle inevitable, or is perfect peace possible? Referencing real life and relatable examples, he explores what it really means to keep your mind stayed on Christ—and how that changes the way we face temptation every day.
