  Episode #20

  Episode 20: Lust, Porn, Temptation? Run straight to God.

  Aug 17, 202621 minS1

  Lust is a battle many people struggle with but are often too ashamed to talk about. In this episode, I share some of my own experience with pornography and what God has taught me about finding freedom from lust. We’ll look at Samson, David, Solomon, and Joseph to see why strength, wisdom, and even righteousness aren't enough to make us immune to giving in to temptation, and why Scripture instead tells us to flee from sexual immorality. Freedom isn’t found in becoming strong enough to resist sin on our own, but in allowing God to renew our minds, change our desires, and learning to run from temptation straight back to Him.

  Episode #17

  Episode 17: Dr. Chelsea PT, DPT, TPS, Lyme Disease and The Power of Prayer.

  Jul 23, 20261h 3mS1

  I don't believe in coincidences. I believe that God allows our paths to cross with other we need to meet in very specific moments. This episode is one of those paths God allowed me to cross. Through meeting a random guy, becoming his friend and then meeting a woman who was a stranger at one of his dinners, I now have the pleasure of getting to introduce you all to Dr. Chelsea! She has an incredible story of battling Lyme disease for over 20 years of her life and the power of prayer. I hope that it blesses you and that you will always remember God's always with you no matter what you are going through. Be sure to check out Dr. Chelsea's website and social media to follow her journey and support her work: Thrive Physical Therapy: Personalized Care in KS Thriveptkansas: Instagram thequirkypt: Instagram During the Episode Dr. Chelsea shared a song that helped her through some of the most difficult moments in her trial I found it and have attached it below for you to listen to: https://open.spotify.com/track/3VqR1Ts5VpozSIm31a4LSJ?si=ab307e5910c24183
