I Can Do with Benjamin Lee

Summary: One moment of desire can burn down years of trust, peace, and progress. Job Chapter 31 shows why adultery is never just a private mistake - it begins in the heart, spreads like fire, and leaves devastation that reaches far beyond the act itself.Using Job’s phrase “a lustful crime,” Benjamin traces the danger back to its roots: the eyes, the heart, and the quiet compromises that come before any outward sin. He connects Job’s warning with Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5 and shows why protecting your eyes is often where real holiness begins.Connect with Me!

Summary: September is the harvest season for your goals—and if you wait until January to get serious, you are already behind. Benjamin Lee turns the post-Labor Day reset into a powerful three-step challenge that helps you finish the year with urgency, clarity, and momentum.With only four months left in the year, this episode asks the question most people avoid: What did you actually plant from January through August, and what is it producing now? Benjamin uses the changing rhythm of fall, football season, and the holidays to show why this is the moment to stop coasting and start paying attention. You will hear a simple but sharp framework for the final stretch of the year:Reflect on what you have already accomplished instead of only focusing on what is missing.Remember the work you have put in and the fact that things can change quickly.Respond with action, purpose, and intentionality before the year disappears.Connect with Me!
