Stuck — Why You Keep Going Back to What You Hate

About This EpisodeIf you have ever sworn off something, meant it with everything in you, and still found yourself right back in it — you are not alone. This episode opens the strongholds and addiction series with one of the most honest passages in all of Scripture: Romans 7, where Paul confesses that he keeps doing the very thing he hates. We look at what a stronghold actually is, how it differs from a bad habit, and why trying harder keeps failing. This is not a lecture about willpower. It is the beginning of an honest conversation about a battle the Bible already understands.In This Episode:What Paul meant when he said "I do what I hate" — and why that sounds familiarThe difference between a bad habit and a strongholdWhat 2 Corinthians 10:4 tells us about how strongholds formWhy the cycle of regret, resolve, and relapse keeps repeatingWhy surface-level fixes do not reach the rootScripture ReferencesRomans 7:15, 18–19 — Paul's honest confession about doing what he hates2 Corinthians 10:4–5 — God's weapons for pulling down strongholdsProverbs 5:22 — sin as ropes that catch and holdProverbs 23:35 — the cycle that ends with going back for moreConnectPodcast: https://www.discipleblueprint.com/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/discipleblueprintYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@discipleblueprintPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/discipleblueprintResources Mentioned: 👉 Free Download — Strongholds & Addiction Guide👉 Free Stuff Library — All Free Resources👉 Scripture Library — Strongholds👉 Explore Membership — Disciple Blueprint👉 Books & Resources — Disciple Blueprint Store#Strongholds #AddictionAndFaith #ChristianPodcast #DiscipleBlueprint #BiblicalFreedom #MentalHealthFaith #Romans7 #BreakFree #ChristianLiving #FaithAndRecovery
