Send us a textWhat if your strongest moment isn't at the start line, but at the finish? We open with a raw story from a 1994 missions trip to Nicaragua that spiraled into dengue fever and a surprising lesson about grit. From there, we zoom out to a bigger challenge: how do you push past the February fade and end the year with genuine momentum, not just good intentions?We anchor the conversation in Hebrews 12 and get practical. First, lay aside weights—those non-sin hindrances like distraction, worry, and unhealthy patterns that bleed your focus. Second, throw off the sin that clings. Temptation is personal, and freedom starts by naming what traps you and stepping into the light with courage. Finally, run with endurance. Your race isn't mine, and comparison steals joy. Expect blisters and setbacks. Endurance looks like getting up, bandaging what hurts, and moving again with your eyes fixed on Jesus.We also celebrate what God is doing in our community: dozens of salvations and baptisms, hundreds of prayer requests lifted, a growing Spanish translation ministry that helps families worship in their heart language, and new life groups designed to keep you moving when your willpower runs thin. If you've felt the gap between a bold January and a quiet stall by spring, this conversation offers a path back—clear choices, decisive action, and the strength that comes from walking together.Ready to finish stronger than you started?

   Today, with only three days remaining in 2025, let’s begin our New Testament journey with Jesus in the “Grand Narrative”. Gospel writers Matthew, Mark and Luke each tell us of the remarkable event which drew adult Jesus into the public eye and formally launched His ministry, as the Savior of the world. Remember, that’s how the angels had announced His birth to the shepherds that Christmas night? (Luke 2:8-13) (Click here to see full text, images and links)    Pastor Doug Anderson    “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2)Have a comment or question about today's chapter? I'm ready to hear from you, contact me here.

Within a single scene in the center of the play, Iago turns Othello from loving husband to jealous maniac. The question of faith, in love and religion. Othello demands “ocular proof.” What Iago gives him is “ocular”—images of infidelity planted in his imagination.

Alex Harper grew up in Cleveland, Ohio with a good family and a normal upbringing, but at just 16 years old he made a decision that would change his life forever. While still in high school and later in college, Alex began robbing banks, eventually landing on the radar of federal authorities and being sent to federal prison for the first time. After his release, he tried to turn his life around, but bad decisions and old patterns pulled him back in, leading to more bank robberies and a second prison sentence. In this episode, Alex shares how he went from a regular kid to a repeat federal inmate, what federal prison was really like, and how he eventually found his purpose and truly turned his life around. _____________________________________________ #TrueCrime #PrisonStories #FederalPrison #BankRobbery #LifeAfterPrison #CrimeStory #RedemptionStory #LockedInWithIanBick _____________________________________________ Thank you to K9S.ORG for sponsoring this episode: Donate anytime at https://k9s.org/ Connect with Alex Harper: https://www.instagram.com/votealexharper/?hl=en Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Robbing Banks at 16 – How It All Started 01:35 First Arrest, Probation & Learning the System 04:22 Life After Prison: Supervision, Temptation & Pressure 06:00 Family, Childhood & Where Things Went Wrong 09:00 Early Gambling Addiction & Sports Betting Obsession 13:25 High School Double Life & First Bank Robbery 15:53 Escalation: More Robberies & How He Avoided Getting Caught 21:22 Bank Robbery Tactics, Mistakes & Hard Lessons Learned 25:54 College Life, Personality & Living Two Lives 29:44 Law School Dreams vs. Gambling Addiction 35:23 Getting Caught: The Moment Everything Fell Apart 41:31 First Time in Prison: Survival, Hustling & Reality Check 53:54 Running Gambling Operations Behind Bars 01:03:12 Released From Prison… Then Slipping Back 01:13:20 Second Sentence & Destroying Family Relationships 01:27:00 Depression, Accountability & Choosing Change 01:37:20 Life After Prison: Recidivism, Struggles & Reality 01:55:24 Finding Purpose, Giving Back & Redefining Success 02:08:00 Why the System Makes It Hard to Stay Free (Final Thoughts) Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you know who you are? Are you feeling weak and lost in the wilderness? Rabbi Schneider shares that overcoming temptation is rooted in knowing your identity in Christ, learning how to live in faith and not in presumption, and understanding that fame, riches, and glory of the world are the seduction Satan uses to pull us away from God the Father. If you have compromised your faith for worldly gain and glory, you can repent and come back to God. The fight against the world, the flesh, and the devil will be constant all the days of our life. Knowing our identity and leaning into God's word for strength when we are weak is crucial. Fight the fight of faith and overcome temptation in the power of Jesus name.   **** BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER - https://djj.show/YTAPartner **** DONATE - https://djj.show/YTADonate **** TEACHING NOTES - https://djj.show/azs

This festive special flips the script on polished papers and perfect protocols. Dr Fiona McLean is joined by Dr Ian Harrison, Dr Soraya Meftah, and Dr Kate Harris to share the research moments that did not go to plan but taught them far more than success ever could. From ELISAs gone rogue and antibodies that refuse to behave, to admin systems that quietly derail months of planning, this episode is a reminder that real research is messy, unpredictable, and occasionally hilarious. The conversation moves easily between lab disasters, student supervision realities, near misses with fire, and the emotional rollercoaster of academic life. It is light hearted, reassuring, and (hopefully) relatable. A permission slip to laugh, reflect, and remember that being wrong is often part of doing good science. Merry Christmas from all of us! -- Top takeaways - Most experiments do not fail, they redirect - Unexpected results often open better research questions - Rushing protocols almost always backfires - Admin failures can be as stressful as lab failures - Talking openly about what went wrong saves time and money - Students learn more from troubleshooting than from perfect results - Publishing negative findings can help an entire field - Being wrong is built into the scientific method - Giving yourself time and mental space matters - If no one was hurt, it is probably recoverable A transcript of this show, links and show notes and profile on all our guests are available on our website at https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk -- Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/dementia_researcher/ https://www.facebook.com/Dementia.Researcher/ https://www.twitter.com/demrescommunity https://www.linkedin.com/company/dementia-researcher https://www.bsky.app/profile/dementiare…archer.bsky.social -- Download and Register with our Community App: https://www.onelink.to/dementiaresearcher -- Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Research Fails 02:07 Learning from Mistakes in Research 04:53 Unexpected Outcomes and Their Value 05:53 The Importance of Data in Research 08:38 Navigating Challenges in Experiments 11:33 The Role of Collaboration in Research 14:40 Discovering New Avenues from Failures 15:40 The Importance of Literature in Research 16:41 Experiences of Discovery and Optimization in Research 17:51 Near-Death Experiences in the Lab 19:34 Lessons from Lab Mishaps 20:57 Administrative Chaos in Research 26:52 The Culture of Silence Around Research Failures 33:16 Navigating Criticism and Feedback in Academia 36:51 Navigating Experimental Challenges 38:43 The Temptation of Over-Experimenting 40:03 Learning from ELISA Mishaps

Temptation often comes in the guise of enlightenment, leading us astray. Our choices have consequences, but grace is always available. Reflecting on our past helps us appreciate the present and the gift of redemption.

Kyle invites veteran youth pastor John Kidd to join the podcast to discuss teaching about sex to students. John recently taught a series to his students on the topic, which he titled "Cheap Sex." John gives us insight into how he prepared for the series and some of the resources he turned to. He also helps us understand some of the differences between temptation and desire. They also tackle the idea that love is not affirmation as opposed to the cultural narrative that love is love. John also reminds us to know our audience, know the influences they are facing, and to know the parents of our students, so that we can tailor our teaching accordingly while always remaining anchored in God's Word.

Jesus Followers Will Be Tempted, but God “will not let you be tempted beyond your ability . . . to endure” MESSAGE SUMMARY: You will be tempted again and again, but the temptation itself is not the sin. The sin resides in your grabbing onto the temptation; dwelling on the temptation; and following through on the temptation. Jesus was tempted, and He always faced temptation by quoting scripture to the temptation source. As Jesus tells you about Temptation and sin in Matthew 18:7-8: “Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes! And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.". Also, Paul, in 1 Corinthians 10:13, confirms that God will not permit us to be tempted in a manner that we will be unable to resist: “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.". You can follow Jesus' example by using scripture to deal with a temptation – there is scripture to deal with every temptation that you may face.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Anxiety. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Peace. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

What motivates our prayer? Do we see God as our “divine genie,” or do we look to him as our Father? We learn that the most common temptation in prayer is a lack of faith. Another major temptation is acedia or sloth. In the face of these temptations of presumption and discouragement, we must respond with filial trust in God our Father, the giver of all good gifts. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2732-2737.

Ps. Samuel teaches about power of prayer to overcome temptation

Part 7. Lead us not into Temptation but Deliver us from the Evil One The so-called ‘Lord's Prayer' is full of surprises. For one thing, the Lord could never have used it himself, with its central and longest plea for forgiveness. Though he gave it as a model for private prayer, it has become the most common corporate liturgy of the church. Its brevity is striking, consistent with his criticism of pagan devotions with their ‘many words'. Above all, it is comprehensive, covering all the basic concerns of a Christian, while clearly indicating that these should cover God's needs (honour and loyalty) before his or her own (food and forgiveness).  Even though it begins with God, whom Jesus called ‘my' Father, but we must say ‘our' Father, it ends with the devil: deliver us from the evil (one). It is for weekdays rather than Sundays. Try using it for a month.

In ⬇️Dive Here! Part 2, we'll leave the surface behind again and follow the Great I AM into the deeper depths of discipleship—where identity is formed, the mind is renewed, and God's energeia (His active, living power) comes alive within every disciple of Jesus. This is where faith moves beyond awareness into obedience, beyond belief into witness, and beyond comfort into calling. You'll hear the truth of God's eternal love in John 3:16, the personal entry point of salvation in Romans 10, the renewing work of Romans 12, the revealed glory of Jesus in the Gospels, and the sending force of the Great Commission. Whether you're seeking truth, newly awakened in Christ, growing deeper in faith, or discipling others—this episode calls you deeper, steadier, rooted, and closer to the heart of God. Go grab your tanks… and let's dive in! God's Word:Key Passages: John 3:16; Romans 10:8–10; Romans 12:2; Psalm 139:16–18; Philippians 2:13; John 16:13; Matthew 28:18–20.

Mark 14:53-72 (ESV)Andrew and Edwin discuss Jesus's own use of prayer to gain strength to overcome the temptation to walk away from the cross in contrast to Peter's lack of prayer keeping him weak in the face of temptation to deny Jesus.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.    Let us know what you are learning or any questions you have.

Ever wonder why you keep falling for the same temptations over and over? In this episode, Dr. Alex Lloyd breaks down why hope—not just faith and love—is essential for breaking free from destructive patterns. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13 and personal experience, Alex reveals how biblical hope is the "temptation buster" that changes everything. ✓ What You'll Discover: ✓ Why hope is more than wishful thinking—it's an assured expectation ✓ The "rinse and repeat" cycle of temptation that keeps you stuck ✓ How hope differs from faith and love (and why you need all three) ✓ The connection between unforgiveness and holding grudges ✓ Practical ways to break irrational patterns in your life ✓ Why we act "insane" about sin but rational about everything else Key Topics Covered: The original Greek meaning of hope (elpis) and why it matters Faith, hope, and love as a trinity of inter-reliant virtues How Professor William Tiller's physics aligns with Hebrews 11:1 Breaking the guilt-shame-condemnation cycle The difference between cheap pleasure and lasting fulfillment Why spiritual gifts fade but these three remain

Learning to Flee Temptation : Genesis 39 : Pastor Raef Chenery : 12-07-25 by Park Community Church

Send us a textWhat is the difference between temptations that arise within (i.e., evil desires) versus temptations that come from outside us (Satan and the world)? Can we say these can be distinguished as ‘the world, the flesh and the devil' (as Eph. 2:1-3 seems to indicate)? Can Satan implant evil thoughts within us? How does he influence our thinking? Can he possess a Christian? Or only oppress us? If the latter, what does that means? How do we handle these different sources of temptation? How do we fight temptation? Bonus question: How do we know when temptation has morphed into sin?

The greatest weapon against your identity isn't a blatant lie—it's a subtle suggestion. The enemy doesn't come up to you and say, "You aren't God's child." Instead, he whispers, "If you are God's child... then why is this happening?"In this episode of Shifts and Ladders, we look at the pattern in Matthew Chapters 3 and 4 to uncover how the enemy attempts to shift you from Sonship to Survival. We analyze the Baptism of Jesus vs. the Temptation in the Wilderness to see exactly how the enemy removed the word "Beloved" and added the condition "If".If you are working 80 hours a week turning "stones into bread" just to prove you are successful, you are falling into a trap. It is time to stop entertaining the "question mark" and stand on God's "period."In this video, we cover:(0:00) The "Subtle Suggestion": How the enemy attacks your identity(1:20) Matthew 3: Why God established "Beloved" (Identity) before "Ministry" (Productivity)(3:30) Matthew 4: The Test immediately follows the Revelation(5:00) The Trap: How the enemy strips "Beloved" to make your identity "Conditionary"(6:50) Stones to Bread: The danger of using your gift to prove your worth(8:40) The Solution: Integration and the power of "It Is Written"(9:15) Question Marks vs. Periods: Living off the Word(10:00) The Challenge: Be a Thermostat and set the temperature this weekQuotes from the episode:"God's pleasure is anchored in Jesus' identity, not his productivity.""The enemy wants you to move from sonship to survival... survival is always conditionary.""When you try to prove your identity, you actually lose your authority.""A suggestion always has a question mark, but a declaration always ends in a period."#Identity #SpiritualWarfare #Matthew4 #ChristianLeadership #RionRobinson #ShiftsAndLadders #BeDoHave

Joseph faced not only relentless temptation but also false accusations and unfair punishment. Still, God never left the room. We'll see temptation's tactics, how to flee wisely, and how to trust that God is shaping something far bigger than the moment you're stuck in.Series Summary: Our fall worship series will lead us through the Book of Genesis, arguably the most profound, insightful text in human history. Over this series, we'll uncover how the narratives of Genesis reveal God's design for creation, humanity, relationships, and purpose.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is Judges 16:1-3 "Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a prostitute, and he went in to her. The Gazites were told, 'Samson has come here.' And they surrounded the place and set an ambush for him all night at the gate of the city. They kept quiet all night, saying, 'Let us wait till the light of the morning; then we will kill him.' But Samson lay till midnight, and at midnight he arose and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two posts, and pulled them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that is in front of Hebron." — Judges 16:1-3 Samson walked straight into Gaza—the heart of Philistine territory—to spend the night with a prostitute. On the surface, he got away with it. At midnight, he ripped the city gates from their foundations, carried them on his shoulders, and walked away like a man untouchable. But Gaza wasn't just any city. Then and now, Gaza has been a hotspot of conflict—a place where compromise, corruption, and resistance to God's people have festered for generations. What Israel tolerated in Gaza back then still plagues them today. It's a sobering reminder that sins left unchecked don't just fade with time—they multiply. Samson thought he was strong enough to dip into enemy territory and walk away. In reality, Gaza became another crack in his armor, another step toward downfall. That's how temptation works. It whispers, "You're strong enough. You can manage this. You'll be fine." But every compromise weakens us. Every trip into enemy territory costs more than we realize. You can't flirt with sin and expect to walk away unscathed. The little compromises we excuse today often grow into the strongholds that enslave us tomorrow. God calls us not to manage temptation, but to flee from it. ASK THIS: Where are you tempted to flirt with sin, thinking you can handle it? How has "getting away with it" in the past made you careless toward temptation? What compromises have you tolerated that now feel like strongholds? What escape route do you need to take before the fire burns you? DO THIS: Identify: One temptation you've been "managing" instead of fleeing. Confess: That one temptation, honestly to God today. Action: Take one concrete step to remove access to that temptation (delete, block, avoid, or confess). PRAY THIS: Lord, I admit I've played too close to the fire. Forgive me for flirting with sin. Give me the wisdom to run from temptation and the strength to rely on You instead of myself. Amen. PLAY THIS: "God, Turn It Around."

Today's Promise: Hebrews 2:18 Temptation is a daily reality for every believer. The world around us and the invisible kingdom of darkness work relentlessly to pull our hearts away from trusting God. The enemy's goal is simple: to shift us from obedient dependence on the Lord to quiet, subtle rebellion. And when he can't lure us into outright sin, he works just as hard to distract us, dull our focus, and turn our eyes away from Jesus. In this episode, we explore what it really means to face temptation as a follower of Christ and how to stand firm when spiritual pressure rises. You'll be reminded that you never fight alone. Jesus stands with you in every moment of weakness, offering His strength, His presence, and His victory. When you look to Him, you discover a power greater than any temptation, a power that lives within you through Christ Himself. Tune in and be encouraged to walk in daily victory.

As we continue to follow the missions of Paul and Barnabas, Fr. Mike highlights the fickle nature of humanity and the futility of striving for the praise of men. He also encourages us to remain courageous in the tribulations we face, finding strength in other believers, and running toward the eternal and imperishable goal of salvation. Today's readings are Acts 14, 1 Corinthians 9-10, and Proverbs 28:7-9. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

The Christian life is not lived in fear but in informed confidence. In this episode, Costi Hinn breaks down five facts of spiritual warfare that help believers recognize the enemy's patterns and respond with wisdom, discernment, and Spirit-empowered strength.

Fr. Mike elaborates on the significance of the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. He points out that the location of the Jordan River is particularly noteworthy because it's the same river that Joshua crossed over to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, signifying that Jesus will bring about a new exodus. Additionally, it's the lowest spot on the planet, symbolizing Jesus' humility. Finally, Fr. Mike emphasizes that when we are baptized, we are adopted as beloved sons and daughters of God because what belongs to Jesus by his nature is given to us by God's grace. Today we read Luke 3-5 and Proverbs 25:27-28. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
