Why External Discipline Won’t Fix Your Sin Problem

About this episode

Dr. Adam Tyson discusses the internal heart issues affecting young Christian men and why external discipline fails to address sin.

Dr. Adam Tyson exposes the hidden heart issues quietly destroying young Christian men from the inside out—lust, pride, anger, envy, and spiritual compromise. If you’ve been trying to “fix yourself” with discipline, motivation, or behavior changes, this conversation explains why those methods keep failing. Learn why the gospel doesn’t just clean up your habits—it completely transforms your heart. ___ Thanks for listening!
