Podcasts about sexual temptation

In this episode of Satisfied, Ryan Swanson continues the Twisted Passions series by turning from explanation to application. For those who have experienced same-sex attraction, the question is not only “How did I get here?” but “What do I do now?” Using Ecclesiastes 4 and the picture of the threefold cord, Ryan explains the biblical importance of mutual discipleship, accountability, and outflow. He challenges listeners not to fight alone, but to share what God has used in their lives to help others pursue purity and satisfaction in Christ. Listeners who have experienced same-sex attraction are invited to anonymously share a verse, biblical truth, testimony, or practical step that has helped them at https://theegeneration.org/ssa. Topics Discussed The loneliness often felt by those struggling with same-sex attraction Why Ecclesiastes 4 speaks directly to the danger of isolation The difference between one-way mentorship and mutual discipleship How the “threefold cord” illustrates shared strength and shared responsibility The importance of personal integrity in the battle for purity Why outflow is a necessary part of Christian growth A powerful testimony from a Christian school chapel where young men began helping one another pursue purity The invitation for listeners to anonymously share what God has used to help them How testimony, Scripture, and practical wisdom can strengthen others in their own fight Key Takeaways You are not meant to face temptation alone. Mutual discipleship is not one strong person pulling up the weak, but believers strengthening one another as they walk with God. God can use the very truths He has taught you in your struggle to help someone else find hope and victory. Outflow helps turn the focus away from self and toward serving others. Even an anonymous testimony can be a meaningful first step in helping someone else become less gratified and more satisfied with Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 6:20-35 May 17, 2026 PM.Sexaul temptation is everywhere, because society has normalized and even celebrated the expression of sexuality outside the boundaries of marriage. In Proverbs 6:20-35, the father's wisdom is to be internalized so as to have an indelible impression on the son's character so as to help him not yield to temptation. The two main ideas of the text are that we are to follow the path of light and light in temptation and govern our hearts.

Proverbs 7:1-27 May 20, 2026 PM.Proverbs 7 consists of further warnings about the adulterous woman. The main section of the chapter is a story that conveys a lesson about young man who carelessly fell into the adulterous woman's trap. When we embrace wisdom, it can help us respond properly to the seductive tactics that characterize the immoral woman's ways.

In this episode of Satisfied, Ryan Swanson steps back from the recent discussion on the eunuch principle to address the deeper question of why same-sex attraction can feel so real even when it does not reflect God's design. He encourages listeners who believe God may be calling them to unmarried service to walk carefully, avoid making the calling about self-affirmation, and focus instead on undistracted service to Christ. Ryan also exposes several ways the devil can twist curiosity, idle imagination, same-gender friendship, and emotional closeness into confusion about identity and desire. Topics Discussed How to respond if you believe God may be calling you to unmarried service Why it may not be wise to publicly announce or over-explain the eunuch principle too quickly The importance of serving Christ without needing everyone else to fully understand your calling How curiosity can become confused with attraction The danger of an idle mind in a culture saturated with sexuality Why young people need parental guidance, mentorship, and spiritual counsel The difference between same-gender closeness and same-sex attraction How deep emotional bonds can be misinterpreted as sexual desire The biblical example of David and Jonathan's deep, non-sexual friendship Why feelings must be tested by God's Word rather than accepted as identity Key Takeaways Feelings can seem powerful and real, but they are not always truthful. The Word of God, not personal desire or cultural pressure, must define a believer's identity and calling. A life of unmarried service is not about drawing attention to oneself. It is about being free to serve Christ with undistracted devotion. Curiosity, emotional closeness, and deep friendship are not the same thing as sexual attraction. The enemy can twist good and natural desires into confusion when they are not understood biblically. Young people should not be left to navigate sexuality and identity alone. Parents, pastors, and godly mentors have a responsibility to guide them with clarity, compassion, and truth. Victory begins by recognizing the lies of the devil and seeking the Lord for the identity He has chosen. True satisfaction is found not in being affirmed by others, but in being satisfied with Jesus Christ. Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance.

April 19, 2026. Pastor Zach Vaughn.  www.machiasvalley.org. Title: "Sexual Temptation and God's Design for Intimacy" Text: Proverbs 5:1-23 Sermon Points: 1) Giving into sexual temptation only leads to ruin and regret.  2) Delight yourself in your spouse.  3) Honor the Lord's design for sexual intimacy. 

Sexual sin is a big deal, it is only sin that affects and corrupts the human body. Temptation is not a sin, it is one of devil's schemes to demoralize the saints; however we are not ignorant of Satan's devices.In this teaching, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pastor Ransome⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ shares deep insight to the concept of temptation, how to respond and overcome to sexual temptation and sins. This teaching will liberate you forever and help you gain your right standing in Christ Jesus.Kindly support us financially, help us spread the gospel of God's grace.

In this episode, Ryan Swanson revisits Matthew 19 and the often-overlooked teaching of Jesus on the eunuch, bringing clarity to questions raised from the previous discussion on “Another Alternative.” Addressing confusion surrounding same-sex attraction and the absence of natural desires, he presents what he calls the “Eunuch Principle.” Rather than pushing listeners toward premature conclusions about lifelong singleness, the episode emphasizes a simple but powerful truth: singleness, in any season, is a gift meant to be stewarded for wholehearted devotion to Christ. Topics Discussed Clarifying Jesus' teaching on eunuchs in Matthew 19 The difference between absence of desire and same-sex attraction Missteps in church culture regarding marriage expectations The concept of being “born” without typical relational desires The danger of overanalyzing one's calling The “Eunuch Principle” explained Singleness as a gift, not a handicap Practical application for teens and young adults Trusting God's timing in relationships and life direction Key Takeaways Not everyone is called to marriage, and that reality is acknowledged by Jesus Himself Some confusion around identity stems from lack of desire, not perverted desire The church has sometimes wrongly treated marriage as the only “successful” outcome Singleness is not a waiting room, it is a strategic opportunity You don't need to figure out your entire life calling right now If you are single today, that is your assignment today God leads those who are already moving in obedience A life fully devoted to Christ is never wasted, regardless of future outcomes Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance.

In this episode of Satisfied, the discussion continues around the question, “Was I born this way?” Rather than defaulting to the common cultural binary of heterosexual or homosexual identity, this episode explores a biblical category many have overlooked: those whom Jesus described as “born eunuchs” in Matthew 19:12. The conversation challenges assumptions about sexual desire, identity, and calling, and presents a compelling case that some individuals may be uniquely designed by God for a life of devoted, undistracted service to the King. Topics Discussed Recap of Romans 1 and the role of vain imaginations in shaping identity The difference between corruption and perversion Propensity toward sin vs. absence of sexual desire Matthew 19:12 and the three types of eunuchs Jesus describes The historical role and significance of eunuchs in ancient kingdoms The concept of intentional singleness and grace for chastity Cultural pressure equating victory with heterosexual marriage The vulnerability of those who lack sexual desire False identity formation through misplaced belonging The power of being understood in moments of isolation Reframing “born this way” through the lens of calling and purpose Viewing singleness not as deficiency, but as strategic kingdom design Key Takeaways Not every lack of heterosexual desire equals homosexual orientation. Jesus explicitly acknowledges individuals born without sexual desire. The absence of sexual desire is not a defect but may be a divine design. The church must stop presenting heterosexual marriage as the only vision of victory. Those uniquely designed for singleness may be called to powerful, focused kingdom service. Identity confusion often grows in environments where vulnerability meets misunderstanding. God does not make mistakes in design; He assigns purpose with intention. A life of undistracted devotion is not second-tier Christianity, but a high calling. Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance.

In this episode, Austin Edwards preaches through Genesis 39 how Joseph fought sexual temptation from Potiphar's Wife. Not only did he flee sexual temptation, but he set the example of how God fulfills all of our needs better than any earthly thing.  

In this sermon, we explore Jesus message to the church in Pergamum, a faithful community living in a place of intense deception, where pressure to compromiseespecially sexuallycame not from open persecution but from subtle temptation within. The sermon shows how Revelation is an unveiling, exposing Satans strategy of inner compromise, and calls the church to repentance by trusting Jesus truth rather than the lies that promise fulfillment apart from Gods design for marriage and sexuality. In closing, Jesus offers hope, promising forgiveness, a new identity, and deep satisfaction through Himselfthe true bread of lifeto all who turn back to Him and remain faithful.

In this episode, Ryan and Stephanie Swanson address one of the most common and emotionally charged questions surrounding homosexuality: “Was I born this way?” Drawing from Scripture, personal counseling experience, and an anonymous testimony, they explain why this question often becomes a stumbling block rather than a starting point for truth. The episode emphasizes the role of thought life, cultural influence, and “vain imaginations” in shaping identity, while pointing listeners back to God's created order and the freedom found in aligning our thinking with His truth.Topics DiscussedWhy the “born this way” question often derails meaningful gospel conversationsThe influence of environment, culture, and suggestion on identity formationAn anonymous testimony illustrating how wrong thinking can take root at pivotal momentsSocial media, affirmation culture, and the normalization of identity confusionBiblical analysis of vain imaginations from 2 Corinthians 10 and Romans 1The danger of “considering” thoughts that contradict God's revealed truthPractical counsel for rejecting intrusive or accusatory thoughtsGod's design for men and women and the simplicity of His created orderKey TakeawaysYou are not obligated to consider thoughts that contradict what God has already made clearIdentity confusion often begins with unchecked imagination rather than conscious rebellionCultural affirmation does not equal moral truthScripture calls believers to actively cast down thoughts that oppose the knowledge of GodFreedom begins by agreeing with God, not endlessly analyzing feelingsVictory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptanceReady to download the Cord App?

In this honest and practical discussion, Pastor Mike from Focal Point Ministries answers a listener's question about whether a Christian couple should break up after falling into sexual temptation before marriage. Pastor Mike explains that romantic attraction is normal—and expected—in a godly relationship, but couples must set clear boundaries and seek accountability. Instead of throwing away a good relationship over a failure, he encourages couples to repent, reset their boundaries, and create safe, structured environments where they won't stumble again. If deeper issues exist, they may need further counsel, but temptation alone doesn't mean the relationship should end.Text ASK to 90398 to ask Pastor Mike a Bible Question.Text GOLIVE to 90398 to be notified when ASK Pastor Mike is LIVE.Find more ways to learn your Bible at https://focalpointministries.org/Have a Bible Question?

In this second Twisted Passions episode, the host tackles a loaded question: Is homosexuality worse than other sins? He explains why Scripture uses especially strong language about homosexuality in the Old Testament, but then emphasizes that the New Testament consistently places it in “lists of sins,” highlighting the gospel's equal sufficiency for all sinners. The episode closes with a pastoral plea: churches often speak against homosexuality from the pulpit, but rarely speak _to_those quietly struggling in the pew, and that gap must change.Topics DiscussedWhy the question “worse” can mean different things (degree of wickedness, path of deliverance, depth of impact)“Corruption” vs “perversion” framing (heterosexual sin vs homosexual sin)Old Testament “abomination” language and civil penalty context (Leviticus 18, 20)New Testament “sin lists” (Romans 1, 1 Corinthians 6, Revelation 21) and what that implies for how believers should think and ministerGospel-centered conclusion: the blood of Christ is sufficient for “all sin,” and the church should not treat people with SSA as a different class of sinnerPastoral application: preaching only to “defend a statement” can unintentionally build a barrier for strugglers; we need diligence, not toleranceKey Takeaways“Worse” has multiple layers: moral weight, deliverance process, and personal impact.The New Testament's emphasis is not ranking sin but spotlighting the gospel that rescues sinners.Churches should pair biblical clarity with real pastoral care for those in the congregation who are silently battling.Practical safeguards and wise boundaries are normal in discipleship for any besetting sin, and should not be treated as uniquely shameful here.Ready to download the Cord App?

We are looking deeper at temptation, how it works and how to overcome it. As we walk through 1 Corinthians 10, we see another temptation the Israelites yielded: sexual temptation. Anybody who wants to live a life of purity in our society has a constant battle to control sexual desires. Temptations vary, so be alert. Paul puts grumbling on the same level as sexual immorality and materialism. Can you access which one of these you are most vulnerable to? 

Pastor Josh McPherson exposes nine cultural and spiritual lies we often believe about sexual temptation, using 1 Corinthians 6 as his foundational text. With clarity, compassion, and conviction, he walks through God's design for the body, sexuality, and holiness, challenging both men and women to flee temptation and pursue deeper affections in Christ… yes, it's an issue for women too. We must always be on guard and ready to flee when temptation rears its ugly head. Want a FREE RESOURCE on how to fight temptation?Go to: https://mailchi.mp/strongermannation.com/how-to-fight-temptationIf you have questions that you would like Pastor Josh to answer on a podcast, send them in here: https://us10.list-manage.com/survey?u=e56b1c573d4107e366e1696df&id=054358ea35Support the showThanks for listening!

Hidden Fire:  Navigating Sexual Desire and Passion for the Glory of GodSexual Temptation – Part 2:  The Poisonous Arrow Targeting the Heart of Men  In our last session, we explored how sexual temptation, though biological in nature, has a spiritual origin. Like a poisonous arrow, the forces of darkness target our sexual passions with seductive lies, aiming to undermine our heart's devotion to God. While temptation itself is not sin, it can open the door to sin if we allow its spiritual poison to find its way into our hearts. This is why the Bible urges us to “guard our hearts” as we “stand firm” in the Spiritual Battle that is simultaneously taking place all around us in both the seen and unseen realms. But what exactly is this “Spiritual Battle” behind sexual temptation? Is it about “breaking strongholds” and casting out demons, or is there something deeper?  Join us in part two of our talk on Sexual Temptation, as we examine the nature of the Spiritual Battle and why understanding it is so crucial in resisting temptation.Please visit https://www.ahm4.life to learn more about Awakened Heart Ministries and our mission to Offer Men Hope and Direction in a Confusing World through Jesus Christ

This episode  concludes our 8-part series walking through the Lord's Prayer. Listen to all parts for more marriage wisdom. In this episode, we finish The Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:13, the final verse in the Lord's Prayer. We discuss Jesus' personal experience with temptation and how God never tempts us. We encourage listeners to rely on God daily for deliverance from temptation and evil and how God has not only taken care of the consequences of sin but also has provided away for us to walk in holiness as well. Topics Discussed:Jesus sympathizes with our temptationGod never tempts us to sin2 revelations about temptation the will change the way you thinkOur flesh makes us vulnerable to temptationAsking God for protection from temptationScripture promises God delivers usPower of prayer is relying on GodPrayer transforms us as we submit to GodImportance of the Lord's Prayer for focusWalking like Jesus through a prayer lifeConnect with us:Instagram | @marriageaftergodInstagram | @UnveiledWifeInstagram | @HusbandRevolutionCheck out our marriage resources!Sponsors:Join The Marriage After God Patron TeamThis is a production of Smith Family Resources, Inc & Marriage After God © 2023Some of the links above may be affiliate links, which means we earn a small commission if you purchase the item(s) using these links.
