Light In Your Corner
Join Lauren and Monica as they discuss how to live in and bless our surrounding culture while carrying the LIGHT that cannot be overcome.
We are two women joining Jesus in our neighborhood while navigating family, friendships, work, creativity, and chronic health issues. We don't always do things right the first time, and we have a borderline-unhealthy relationship with British mystery novels, but with God we can find the humor and the heart behind most things. Light in Your Corner is our first podcast.
Light In Your Corner
(50) Let's Get Out of Here
We see it depicted all around us, sometimes in the form of a bright red apple, a devil on the shoulder, or a group of young, attractive singles stranded on an island. But what does temptation really look like? And how can we live out the prayer, “lead us not into temptation,” when it feels like temptation is embedded in so many of the decisions we make every day?
We talk about that and so much more in today’s episode. We see how God delivers us from evil and opens our eyes not only to how we can avoid temptation but also to how we can follow Him in a better way. The name of the game isn’t just behavior modification, it is heart transformation. And no one can transform a heart like God.
