About this episode

Ben Young discusses the nature of temptation and how prayer can help us overcome it.

Temptation isn’t far away anymore.It’s in our pockets. On our phones. Just a click away.Every person faces the pull toward things that promise relief but leave us stuck in cycles of guilt and shame.In this message from the Lord’s Prayer, we explore what Jesus meant when He taught us to pray:“Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”Why do we keep falling into the same patterns?And more importantly—how does God help us find a way out?
