Built Different - Week 1

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of making choices that lead to peace and life, guided by the Spirit rather than the flesh.

In Romans 8:2–6, we’re reminded that everyone wants to make the right choices—no one sets out to choose what leads to chaos over what leads to life and peace. Deep down, we’re all searching for peace, but the challenge is that not everything that promises peace actually delivers it. The world is full of options that look good on the surface yet quietly pull us in the wrong direction. That’s why God gave us His Spirit—to guide us toward what truly brings life and peace. When we follow the Spirit, we step into alignment with what God has for us; but we also have the freedom to follow our flesh, and that path ultimately leads the opposite way. Both paths can seem appealing, both can look right in the moment—but only one produces lasting peace. The decision may be simple, but it’s not always obvious. So the real question becomes: how are you livin’?
