The Battle Within: Why Christians Feels Divided

Every believer knows the struggle. One moment you feel strong in your faith… the next moment you’re battling thoughts, temptations, and failures you thought you had left behind. Why does that happen? On this episode of Stakscast, Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer joins Erick Stakelbeck to discuss his powerful new book Divided: Breaking Free from the Other Me — and the reality that every Christian faces an internal battle between who we were before Christ and who God is calling us to become. Why do we sometimes feel like two different people?How do we deal with failure and get back up after we fall?And why is confession, accountability, and community so critical to real spiritual growth? Pastor Lahmeyer opens up about his own story — becoming a father at 17, navigating divorce, leading a blended family, and overcoming shame to step into the calling God placed on his life. But this conversation goes beyond personal struggles.Pastor Jackson also shares insight into the growing return to faith across America, the importance of spiritual leadership in the nation, and why he believes we are witnessing a renewed hunger for God across the country. This episode is about honesty. It’s about healing. And it’s about choosing every day which voice we will listen to. Because the battle within every believer is real. But freedom is possible.
