Control – Chapter two of ‘Don’t Tell Anyone You’re Reading This’

“Why can’t I stop doing what I know as a follower of Jesus that I shouldn’t be doing? Why are so many of us unable to control what we so naively thought we could? Here’s a thought: what if we fail in controlling our sexual sin not because we can’t control it, but because we like it? What if the reason we keep going back to the place that we hate and do the things we abhor is that deep down, doing what we hate makes us feel better about what our deeper problem is? What if we’re just going about it all wrong?” In today's episode of The Hope Podcast, you'll have the opportunity to listen to the second chapter of my book Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This. Give it a listen, share it on your social media, and make sure to delve into the book if you haven't had the chance yet.
