Why You’ll Never Win the Fight Against Lust—And How to Finally Break Free Biblically | Larger Than Logic Podcast

Larger Than Logic Podcast

The war against lust is rarely loud—it’s fought silently, often in shame. Many believe lust is strictly sexual, but biblically, lust is any desire that drives you to move impulsively outside the will of God to satisfy your body.

Your body craves what it lusts after the way hunger craves food. The more you try to fight it, the stronger it gets. Victory comes not through wrestling but by creating distance between...

This episode isn’t a three-point sermon. It’s more like a heart-to-heart.

I’m sharing thoughts that have been sitting heavy on my spirit—about how easy it is to start living from our emotions instead of living with intentional, Christ-centered focus.

Inspired in part by Matthew 23:25, where Jesus calls out the Pharisees for cleaning the outside of the cup while the inside remains filthy, this conversation is about more than just appearances. It’s about how we can get so caught up in doing all the right-looking things, while avoiding the internal work that truly honors God.

You’ll hear me wrestle with questions like:

Why do we spend so much time trying to feel better, instead of trying to become more obedient?
How often do we build our goals around comfort instead of Christ?
What happens when we center our lives around emotions rather than His calling?

This is a real-time reflection—not a fully mapped out breakdown—but if you’re someone who’s tired of letting feelings lead and wants to start moving with more spiritual clarity, I think this will hit home.

🎧 Tune in to get a mental framework for re-centering your life—not on your feelings, but on Christ.
