The David Alliance  TDAgiantSlayer@gmail.com Garth Heckman Urge   INTRO: Its a strange memory at best: A young man at church - my sister Renee's friend. HS stud athlete, great looking, always jumping in and out of bed with whomever he could. Now in his early 30's he came to church and Renee said one night after church… he better hurry up and figure out life - his hair is getting thinner and his glasses are getting thicker.  Funny, sad, but telling of his life falling apart. He lived his life by his emotions… his “URGES” if you will.    the phrase "a piece of work" originated as a high compliment before evolving over centuries into a sarcastic insult. The Literary Origin Its earliest famous usage comes from William Shakespeare's Hamlet (around 1601). In Act II, Scene 2, Prince Hamlet marvels at the creation of humanity: "What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty..."       He's a piece of work ISRAELS FIRST KING!  King Saul had it all but lost his call as a know it all only to fall.      Saul's ultimate downfall was not a lack of talent or opportunity; it was a fundamental flaw in his internal compass. Saul lived a life governed by feelings rather than character.     Have you ever met someone who lives by their emotions/feelings/the wind?     I used to say to my boys… “dad is in a bad mood today, so don't push it”. WHAT I WAS REALLY SAYING WAS DAD IS IN THE FLESH… LIVING BY HIS URGES!        Romans 8:5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. 6 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 7 For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws, and it never will. 8 That's why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. 9 But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)         King Saul highlights critical decisions based on fear, jealousy, and impulsivity rather than steadfast character and obedience.     1 Samuel 13:8-12 (Impatience and Panic): When the prophet Samuel delayed his arrival and the Israelite army began to scatter out of fear, Saul panicked. Instead of trusting God and waiting, his anxiety drove him to unlawfully offer the burnt offering himself. Emotions make God's Word feel optional rather than authoritative. When feelings become the filter for truth, scripture gets reduced to "does this resonate with me" instead of "is this what God said." Jeremiah 17:9 warns that the heart is deceitful above all things — not evil in a cartoonish sense, but genuinely unreliable as a final authority. A Christian who only obeys when it feels right isn't actually submitted to Christ's lordship; they're submitted to their own emotional state, with God's Word as an occasional consultant rather than the authority.   Abortion, adultery, fornication, bitterness, gossip… emotions muddy up the water.   Anterior Midcingulate Cortex it behaves like a muscle, shrinking when underused and expanding physically when you engage in effortful, resistance-heavy activities.   Anatomy of the aMCC The Friction Requirement: The aMCC only grows when you face friction or internal resistance. Pushing through a workout you love doesn't trigger the same growth as forcing yourself to do a workout—or a task—that you genuinely do not want to do     The Battle of Sarx (The Flesh): Paul describes the "flesh" not merely as the physical body, but as the path of least resistance—primal drives, comfort-seeking, and self-preservation.    The body only wants to eat, sleep be tickled and have sex!      In Galatians 5:17, he notes: "For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other." The subjective internal friction you feel when forcing yourself to do a hard task is the exact experiential battleground Paul describes. Mortification (Nekroo): In Colossians 3:5 and Romans 8:13, the New Testament commands believers to "put to death" or "mortify" lower impulses. This is not a passive event; it is an active, effortful override of natural inclination—the exact stimulus that drives aMCC hypertrophy.     How do you put to death the desires of the flesh? Lets put this misconception to bed for good! You do the opposite of the flesh according to scripture.       1 Samuel 14:24, 43-44 (Rashness and Impulsivity): Driven by the heat of battle, Saul made a foolish, impulsive oath binding his army to fast until evening. This emotional decision left his men exhausted and nearly resulted in the execution of his own son, Jonathan, who had unknowingly eaten honey.   Emotional highs get mistaken for spiritual maturity. Feeling moved during worship, feeling peace after a decision, feeling conviction in the moment — these can be real and God-given, but they can also be manufactured by music, social pressure, or just brain chemistry. The danger is building a faith that needs a constant emotional high to feel "real," which sets people up to crash hard when the feelings fade — and many walk away from faith entirely when the emotional experience stops delivering, mistaking the absence of feeling for the absence of God.   **When emotions supersede logic or common sense, they will typically supersede Gods best as well.     MANY/MOST times God will ask you to do something that goes against your emotions!    1 Samuel 15:24 (Fear of Man over Integrity): After failing to completely destroy the Amalekites as God commanded, Saul shifted the blame. He finally confessed to Samuel that his lack of character stemmed from insecurity, stating: "I was afraid of the men and so I gave in to them.” Remember… He's the King! And he is afraid of the men? It makes obedience conditional instead of covenantal.  Abraham didn't feel like sacrificing Isaac.  Jesus, didn't feel like going to the cross —    Obeying when you feel like it is not obedience its convenience!    men: leading a family, staying faithful in a hard marriage, disciplining kids, showing up to serve when you're exhausted — none of that runs on feelings. It runs on covenant commitment that outlasts emotion.   *If I win the lottery I will definitely tithe and even give more than 10%.  NOPE! If you can't give $10 out of $100 you won't give 1 Million out of 100 Million.      1 Samuel 18:10-11 (Uncontrolled Rage): Saul's jealousy quickly escalated into murderous anger. While David was playing the lyre to soothe him, Saul was overcome by an evil spirit and his own rage, throwing his spear at David twice in an attempt to pin him to the wall.   Emotional volatility becomes a discipleship excuse instead of a growth area.  "I just felt led" or  "I couldn't help how I reacted"  “We are in Love”.  “She started it”. “It was Tuesday”    The flesh wether in a high or a low is meant to be cultivated by the fruits of the Spirit!    I love what Socrates said “any virtue in and of itself is a danger, it must be balanced with another virtue. i.e. if you are generous but do not balance that with wisdom, you will give all your money away and your family will starve. This is what the fruits of the Spirit do for us when in the midst of great emotion.

William Owens is a busy guy. You might catch him reading poetry or riding his bicycle across Taiwan or having dinner with new friends. But in all these journeys, no matter how big or how small, William is ready and willing to share the Gospel message with everyone he meets. William is a free-spirited traveler and the co-publisher of the Why Jesus book series. When it comes to leadership, William says that Jesus is the most profound example there is. Jesus would spend time with the Father, William points out, and then share that vision with His followers. Jesus listened to people and welcomed them into His presence. He wasn't worried about pushing them into a singular denomination or church. He wanted to know them and them to know Him. As Christian leaders, we can learn from Christ's example. TAKEAWAYS Jesus always expressed His deepest concerns to those He spoke with William has written more than 5,000 poems and visited 11 countries on his bicycle Churches sometimes try to contain God and control His behavior - an impossible task The Why Jesus book series is a collection of Christian short essays, stories, poetry, and testimonies

What if the way you respond to your urges is the thing keeping you stuck? In this episode, I break down the three ways you can respond when an urge to view pornography comes up: resisting it, reacting to it, or allowing it. Understanding the difference between these approaches can completely change the way you handle urges. I explain why using willpower and trying to push urges away doesn't work long term, and why many people end up stuck in a cycle of resisting and reacting. Instead, I teach you what it means to allow an urge, process it, and build your ability to sit with discomfort without acting on it. You'll learn how to recognize the difference between resisting, reacting, and allowing, why processing urges builds your tolerance for discomfort, and how this skill can help you create more freedom in your life. This episode will help you approach urges differently and understand what becomes possible when you stop fighting them.

You keep asking how to fight your food urges. That is the wrong question, and it is keeping you from losing weight! Every diet you ever did taught you to fight. Use your willpower. Try harder. Just don't eat it. So it makes sense why you think you should "just be tougher" or "fight harder." Well the diets have been WRONG. They've been trying to get you to solve the wrong problem so it's no wonder it's felt impossible to handle your urges and cravings. In this episode, Corinne Crabtree tells you all about how an urge is a signal telling you something important. It's trying to get you to pay attention to things that once you know them, you can fix them, and urges start going away. So instead of fighting you want to understand the message an urge is trying to send. And there are five things an urge could be trying to tell you. Make sure you listen because this could make losing weight a lot easier. Want to keep going? Grab Corinne's free video series at https://nobsfreecourse.com.

Host Charlie James examines the corporate practices surrounding immigration and law enforcement, criticizing major businesses for incorporating legal and undocumented communities into their marketing models instead of prioritizing national interests. Highlighting reports on Southwest Airlines, James discusses incidents where airline staff allegedly blocked immigration enforcement agents at airports and refused to share passenger data with ICE. The segment transitions to a conversation with caller John from Batcave regarding voter integrity, illegitimacy claims, and political fear tactics. In closing, James outlines a direct political message for Senator Tim Scott: remain in Washington during recess, join fellow conservative senators to pass the SAVE Act, and eliminate the filibuster to secure critical legislation.

You'll also discover why another urge often appears afterward: the urge to criticize, shame, or punish yourself for the choice you made.Instead of treating urges as the enemy, Amy shows you how to use them to create a pause, understand what you need, and respond more intentionally.WHAT TO LISTEN FOR[00:00]  Why urges can seem to bypass conscious choice[03:10]  A recap of the Name It to Navigate It series[04:20]  What an urge actually is[06:05]  Your brain's three main priorities[08:05]  The payoff behind every behavior[09:35]  When emotional eating works—but only temporarily[11:10]  Primary and secondary emotions[13:10]  The two urges that can keep you stuck[15:10]  Why self-criticism is not accountability[17:20]  Urge versus need[19:00]  Treating an urge like a knock at the door[20:35]  “I am anxious” versus “I feel anxious”[22:30]   Using emotions to identify what you needYour urges are not the enemy, and they do not have to make your decisions for you.

One unplanned food choice can quickly turn into “I already blew it, so I might as well keep going.” In this episode, Georgie explains why eating-because-I-ate urges are a form of pain-relief eating: food is used to escape the guilt, fear, or disappointment caused by the previous eating.You'll learn how to interrupt the loop with a simple response, and why dietary imperfection is a skill worth practising. Georgie also shares practical steps for stopping the escalation without restricting, compensating, or turning one imperfect moment into an entire day of eating.In this episode:Why one off-plan choice can trigger more eatingHow guilt and shame fuel the urgeWhat “damage control” actually meansWhy compensation makes the cycle worseHow to practise dietary imperfectionWhat to do in the moment when “might as well” appearsFor coaching, visit confidenteaters.com.New to the show?

Host Charlie James opens the segment by reflecting on Mark Sanford's 2019 symbolic presidential primary challenge against Donald Trump, using it to criticize establishment Republicans for lacking a genuine fighting spirit. James argues that conservative voters want leaders who actively fight for their platform—such as passing the SAVE America Act and eliminating the Senate filibuster—rather than yielding to Democrats or giving up on key legislation. He praises senators who refuse to support a Senate recess until legislative goals are met, while calling out Senator Tim Scott for not joining them. Later in the segment, caller Larry from Spartanburg reminds listeners that today is the deadline to request an absentee ballot for the upcoming South Carolina special Senate primary, advising voters to submit or hand-deliver their ballots promptly to ensure they are processed on time.

In Hour 2 of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James calls on Republicans to show a real fighting spirit on conservative priorities like the SAVE America Act and eliminating the Senate filibuster, while reminding voters of South Carolina's absentee ballot deadlines. He then addresses national headlines, including suspected Iranian cyberattacks on Minnesota water systems, President Trump's televised cabinet meeting at Camp David, and recent polling showing declining support for the war in Iran. James directs sharp criticism at Senator Tim Scott for not joining colleagues in demanding that the Senate remain in session to pass key election integrity legislation. Finally, James breaks down a new Trafalgar Group poll showing Darlene Graham leading the South Carolina U.S. Senate primary at 27%, closely followed by Russell Fry and Ralph Norman at 17.4%, as he and callers debate whether Graham can appeal to conservative voters.

Want help uncovering the real reasons behind your urges and build a plan to overcome your pornography use? Click here to book a free call with Sam to get help to overcome pornography – https://stopporn.info/    Have questions you want me to address on future podcast episodes? Email me here:  sam@healingcouples.org   Episode show notes: When you're trying to overcome porn addiction, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is believing that the urge itself is the problem. Most men battling pornography addiction spend years trying to resist urges, avoid triggers, and rely on more willpower. They fight the symptoms while completely missing the root cause. That's why so many men experience the same cycle over and over—periods of success followed by another porn relapse, more shame, and another promise to quit porn for good. In this episode, I share five practical strategies that address what actually drives porn addiction so you can experience lasting porn addiction recovery instead of constantly fighting temptation. You'll learn why pornography urges don't come out of nowhere, how emotional stress fuels pornography use, and why overcoming porn addiction is about developing new skills—not simply trying harder. We'll discuss the connection between stress, loneliness, shame, anxiety, low self-worth, emotional avoidance, and compulsive pornography use. You'll also learn why lasting freedom from porn comes from identifying and resolving the underlying issues that keep fueling the cycle instead of spending your life trying to suppress urges. If you've tried accountability, internet blockers, filters, prayer, motivation, or willpower and still find yourself returning to pornography, this episode will help you understand why those tools often aren't enough on their own. Real porn addiction recovery happens when you stop treating pornography as the primary problem and begin addressing the emotional pressure underneath it. Whether you're trying to quit porn, recover from pornography addiction, stop relapsing, rebuild your marriage after porn addiction, or simply understand why porn urges keep coming back, these strategies will give you a practical framework you can begin applying immediately. If you're a wife listening, you'll also gain a deeper understanding of what healthy porn addiction recovery actually looks like. You'll learn what signs indicate genuine progress beyond simply counting days sober, making it easier to recognize meaningful change while rebuilding trust after pornography addiction. In This Episode: • How to overcome porn addiction without relying on willpower • Why porn urges keep coming back • The real root causes of pornography addiction • Practical porn addiction recovery strategies • How to quit porn by resolving emotional triggers • Understanding stress, shame, loneliness, and pornography use • How to prevent porn relapse before it begins • Building lasting freedom from porn • Rebuilding trust after porn addiction • Developing healthier coping skills that replace pornography

In this episode, we're talking about pain relief urges: the urge to eat because something hurts and food feels like the fastest way out. That pain might be physical, emotional, or both stacked together — and food may genuinely offer comfort for a little while. But comfort is not the problem. Cost is the question.We'll look at how to tell when food comfort stays low-cost versus when it turns into a high-cost binge, and how to build a wider comfort plan that includes physical care, sensory soothing, connection, movement, expression, and support from other people. Because pain is a normal part of life, but you don't have to meet it with only one tool.This week's experiment: look back over the last seven days and notice what kinds of pain or discomfort showed up most often. If you used food for comfort, ask how much it cost you — then build a lower-cost comfort plan with at least two options, one of which can be food if you feel confident keeping it reasonable.For coaching, visit confidenteaters.com.

Autopilot urges happen when your brain recognizes a familiar scene and says, “This is when we eat,” or “This goes with food.” These urges can show up as snacking, grazing, emotional eating, or a full binge before you feel like you've really chosen anything.In this episode, we'll look at why certain places, activities, times of day, and transitions can trigger automatic eating patterns. We'll talk about why these urges often appear when we're stressed and want to check out, or when we finally relax and want to stop putting effort into anything.We'll also explore why separating food from entertainment can help you enjoy both more. When eating happens on autopilot, you may consume the food without actually receiving much pleasure or satisfaction from it.This week's experiment: choose one automatic eating script, such as TV and snacks, road trips and candy, or after-dinner sweets. Name the script, ask whether the activity would still be good without the usual snacks in tow, and audition one guardrail — a new choreography, substitute, or environmental change — to help your brain practice a different route.For help with binge eating recovery, visit confidenteaters.com.New to the show?

In this episode, we're talking about exhaustion urges: urges to binge, graze, order food, snack compulsively, or keep eating when your system is depleted and food starts to look like the fastest available relief.Instead of focusing mostly on what to do once you're already too exhausted to care, we're moving upstream. Exhaustion urges often start earlier than the urge itself, when your battery is being drained by skipped breaks, overpacked schedules, under-planned recovery, travel, big events, and pushing through when you are already under-resourced.You'll learn how to use the Battery Check, why breaks work best before you desperately need them, how to tell growth discomfort from depletion, why rescheduling can be a recovery skill, and how to use the simple in-the-moment tool Get Horizontal when you're already below 20%.New to the show?
