Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want to Do? Jonathan Pokluda

Stuck in habits and vices you hate? Speaker and bestselling author J.P. Pokluda knows there's a better, more fulfilling way to live, and it doesn't involve looking inside yourself for the answers--because that's not where you'll find them. With his signature wit and wisdom, he explains, unpacks, and expands on the age-old virtues Scripture tells us to pursue. Far from being restrictive, these God-given goals for living free you to love and live as you wish you would. The enemy comes along and sets it in front of you, and just says, “Here, take and eat. Why wouldn’t you?” Like he does with Jesus when He's in the desert; he says, “Why don’t You eat this bread? Look, all of this could be Yours!” He’s still running the same offense. I think, as long as we’re under the sun—until we’re in that glorified state, until we’re in the presence of God—that temptation never goes away. There’s always going to be the desires of the flesh [and] the enemy who lures us with the things of the world. -- Jonathan Pokluda Show Notes and Resources Click here to sign up for the Art of Marriage live event and get notified of when pre-orders are live!
