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

Why You’ll Never Win the Fight Against Lust—And How to Finally Break Free Biblically | 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. We think we’re supposed to fight lust… but Scripture reveals something different: 👉 You will never win the fight against your lust. You must flee from it. 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 you and the triggers that give life to desire. 🔥 In This Episode, We Discuss: The silent, shame-filled battle most Christians face regarding lust Why lust is not just sexual, but any desire that pulls you away from God’s will The difference between fighting lust and fleeing from it The mistake David made in 2 Samuel 11:2—when he gave life to a single look How impulsive desires grow when entertained Why your body’s craving isn’t demonic—it’s biological and spiritual Modern triggers that fuel lust: Social media (IG, TikTok, Snap) Environments (clubs, parties, gyms) People (friends, family, influencers) Music, movies, apps How 2 Timothy 2:22 gives the actual biblical battle plan: “Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace…” 💡 Key Takeaways Lust grows where there is attention. Starve it through separation. Distance is stronger than discipline. You are not commanded to defeat lust—but to escape it. Victory over lust begins not with willpower, but with wise positioning. 📖 Scriptures Referenced 2 Samuel 11:2 – David’s dangerous decision to give life to a look 2 Timothy 2:22 (NASB1995) – “Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness…” 🚀 Who This Episode Is For: Believers struggling with private temptation Leaders who feel pressure to appear strong while battling silently Anyone who wants practical, biblical strategies to protect their purity Those ready to replace willpower with wisdom and worship 🔗 Connect With Us Instagram: @LargerLogicPodcast TikTok: @LargerThanLogicPodcast YouTube: @LargerThanLogicPodcast

The Voice You Value Determines Your Future | Guarding Influence, Identity & Destiny | Larger Than Logic Podcast

The Voice You Value Determines Your Future | Guarding Influence, Identity & Destiny | Larger Than Logic Podcast
Episode Summary The voice you choose to value is shaping the person you’ll become. Influence is not passive—every voice you listen to is carving your future. In this episode, we uncover why what you believe gives you value determines whose voice you value, and how that can either release your purpose or chain you to insecurity. We dive into: Which voices help and which destroy? How Saul’s insecurity made him sabotage his calling (1 Samuel 18:6–9) Why jealousy keeps people stuck in cycles and seasons they should've left years ago Why attention feels good, but becomes dangerous if received from the wrong sources How to choose voices that speak life, truth, and growth into your destiny Why God's approval must matter more than public applause 🔥 Key Takeaways The voice you value reveals the future you're aligning with. What you think gives you value will control who you listen to. Saul protected insecurity more than calling—don’t make the same trade. You wouldn’t let just anyone in your house or your car. Why let just anyone in your mind? Favor, applause, and attention feel good—but they’re not all safe. “Everybody who knows God may not want to see you win. And everybody who wants to see you win may not know God.” Listen most to people who want you to win AND know God. 📜 Scripture Reference 1 Samuel 18:6–9 Saul became jealous when David received praise. → Insecurity turned celebration into competition. → He made enemies out of friends and hurt people who meant him no harm. 🧠 Reflection Questions Who am I currently allowing to define my worth? Which voices feed my purpose, and which feed my insecurity? Do I value God’s opinion more than people’s approval? ⛔ Examples to Avoid Seeking validation from toxic sources (e.g. street life, unhealthy praise culture, online comparisons) Settling for any attention instead of healthy attention Ignoring wise correction because encouragement feels easier 💡 Final Challenge Take control over the one thing God allows—your ear. Decide today to give it to voices that speak truth, growth, and vision into your future. 🔗 Connect & Follow Social Media: 📸 Instagram – @LargerLogicPodcast 🎵 TikTok – @LargerThanLogicPodcast ▶️ YouTube – @LargerThanLogicPodcast

How to Find Perfect Peace by Focusing on God | Overcoming Anger Through Trust | Larger Than Logic Podcast
In this episode of the Larger Than Logic Podcast, we dive deep into Isaiah 26:3 (NIV) — “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” Avery opens up about his personal journey from suppressed anger and frustration to finding inner peace through trusting God’s direction. Growing up around women and girls taught him to internalize his emotions — but what started as quiet endurance eventually turned into explosiveness and rage. It wasn’t until he began to focus on God’s Word more than his own thoughts that peace became real and lasting. This episode breaks down how what has your mind will always have your heart, and how to practically redirect your focus toward Christ to overcome rage, fear, and anxiety. You’ll learn: The hidden link between focus, trust, and sustained peace. How your mind is like a car — it can’t go two directions at once. Why internal focus determines whether you live in worry or worship. How surrendering your path to God’s direction leads to steady peace. Why choosing peace is a daily decision rooted in trust, not comfort. This message is a reminder that peace is not passive — it’s chosen. You can choose vengeance or peace, anxiety or assurance. But true peace only comes from focusing your heart and mind on Christ Jesus. 📲 Connect with Larger Than Logic: Instagram: TikTok: YouTube:

How Negativity and Anger Kill Your Motivation (and 3 Biblical Truths to Overcome) | Larger Than Logic Podcast
When negativity creeps in—whether from others’ disrespect, gossip, or even your own self-talk—it can slowly drain your motivation and paralyze your progress. In this episode of The Larger Than Logic Podcast, we dive deep into how negativity and anger can quietly become two of the biggest motivation killers in your spiritual and personal life. Host Avery Taylor shares three powerful biblical truths that will help you navigate emotional heaviness, protect your peace, and move forward with strength and grace instead of frustration and bitterness. Through the lens of Romans 12:17–20, James 1:19–21, and Proverbs 16:32, we uncover how God calls us to respond—not with vengeance, but with peace. Because when everyone else goes to war, the one who loses most is the one still fighting after everyone else has gone home. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why negativity and anger are some of the biggest motivation killers in your walk with God. How to overcome emotional exhaustion caused by gossip, disrespect, and self-doubt. The biblical perspective on choosing peace over retaliation.

Don’t Lose Your Character Trying to Protect Your Heart | Larger Than Logic Podcast
In this episode, Avery J. Taylor unpacks Proverbs 3: 3-4 — a timeless call to never let kindness and faithfulness slip from our hearts. Life, people, and disappointment can tempt us to grow cold, detached, or inconsistent, but God calls us to be steadfast in love and dependable in loyalty, especially when the world isn’t. Avery explores how modern believers can embody unconditional love, support, and dependability even when we’re overlooked, mistreated, or misunderstood. Learn how to let mercy and truth become permanent marks on your character — not emotions that fade with circumstance. Through real talk and biblical wisdom, discover how God uses difficult seasons to forge consistency, compassion, and resilience in His people. When others change, you can still remain rooted in love. 🔑 Key Topics The true meaning of kindness and faithfulness in Proverbs 3: 3-4 How hardship tests your loyalty and dependability Why emotional distance is the enemy of spiritual growth Becoming a beacon of love and reliability in a cold world God’s reward for consistency in character and compassion 📖 Scripture Reference Proverbs 3: 3-4 (NIV) “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

The Real Meaning of Wisdom: How God Gives Understanding Beyond Experience | Larger Than Logic Podcast
In this episode of the Larger Than Logic Podcast, we dive deep into the true meaning of wisdom — not the kind that comes from books, trends, or human intellect, but the kind that comes directly from God. We explore what the words for “wisdom” meant in Hebrew (“chokmah”) and Greek (“sophia”), revealing that true wisdom means applied knowledge — knowledge that’s lived out, embodied, and walked in through obedience to God. You’ll discover: 🧠 How wisdom = applied understanding rooted in divine experience. ✝️ Why God can give you experience in things you’ve never seen or done, because He created all things. 🔄 How to recenter your thoughts, ambitions, and emotions in God’s truth instead of your own logic. 💡 The difference between information and transformation — and why only wisdom leads to lasting growth. 🙏 Why walking in obedience is the path to walking in wisdom. This is a message for every believer who feels overwhelmed by their own thoughts, ambitions, or confusion — reminding you that the wisest people seek God first and let His wisdom guide every step. If you’ve been relying on your own understanding, this episode will help you recenter, refocus, and realign with the Source of all wisdom. Social Media Instagram: TikTok: YouTube:

When Opinions Become Idols: Why Seeking Validation Leads to Destruction | Larger Than Logic Podcast
In this episode of Larger Than Logic Podcast, we dive deep into a powerful truth — when public opinion becomes your compass for what’s right or wrong, you’ve already lost your way. Many people chase approval, applause, and “likes,” mistaking popularity for purpose. But when validation replaces conviction, destruction always follows. The truth is this: doing things for the glory of God — not for human praise — is the only way to build something that lasts. Host Avery Taylor breaks down why living for the opinions of others robs you of peace, clarity, and spiritual reward, and how shifting your focus toward honoring God leads to freedom, legacy, and divine favor for you and your family. Whether you’re a leader, creator, or believer navigating the pressures of modern life, this message will remind you that God’s glory is the only foundation strong enough to sustain your purpose. ⏱️ Topics Covered: Why seeking validation is a spiritual trap The hidden cost of letting opinion shape your identity Learning to do things for the glory of God How to build lasting impact through obedience, not approval Practical steps to re-center your motives 📖 Key Scripture: Matthew Chapter 6 🎧 Listen on: 🎙️ Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube 📲 Social Media: Instagram: TikTok: YouTube:

Navigating Respect & Leadership Across Cultures in Work, Church & Family | Larger Than Logic Podcast
On this episode of the Larger Than Logic Podcast, Avery and his friend Emari sit down for a candid conversation about what it feels like to walk into workplaces, church communities, and family spaces where the dominant culture or background isn’t your own. When you grow up in one environment—like the DMV, where success, culture, and identity feel normal—and then step into another, it can feel like the rules change overnight. Respect that others receive freely sometimes feels like something you have to perform for, fight for, or over-explain just to earn. Together, Avery and Emari talk about: The tension of feeling misunderstood or mislabeled in professional or faith spaces. How people from different backgrounds may compete with or diminish your voice. The mental weight of trying to balance authenticity with acceptance. Why looking for constant validation is draining—and dangerous. But this conversation doesn’t stop at the challenge. It also offers a way forward: Drawing from Ryan Leake’s book How to Work with Complicated People, Avery and Emari explore: Why everyone is complicated to somebody. The power of curiosity over defensiveness in building bridges. How humility and confidence in Christlike leadership help you thrive in any room. Practical ways to find common values, shared goals, and respect across differences. This isn’t a lecture—it’s a real dialogue between two friends, wrestling with what it means to lead with love, confidence, and humility in environments that don’t always understand where you come from. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider in the room, this episode will give you both language and tools to engage those spaces with purpose. 🔗 Connect with Us Instagram: TikTok: YouTube:

How to Handle Resistance When You’re Growing | Overcoming Pushback from People | LTL Podcast
Episode Summary: When you decide to grow, level up, or change your life, not everyone will celebrate you. Some will talk down, distance themselves, oppose you, or even rewrite the narrative to make your intentions look negative. That kind of resistance can leave you feeling discouraged, distracted, or even hopeless. In this episode of the Larger Than Logic Podcast, we unpack: Why people resist your growth – the psychology of protecting their comfort and status quo How resistance shows up – gossip, opposition, downplaying your wins, withdrawing support The mental & spiritual toll – discouragement, defensiveness, and isolation Practical steps to overcome it: Normalize resistance – understand it’s natural when you disrupt the “safe zone” Highlight the benefits – remind others (and yourself) why the change matters Cheer yourself on – don’t wait for outside validation Communicate clearly & consistently – keep sharing the vision so others can buy in Anchor in faith – remember, what’s rooted in God will grow (Moses’ story as proof!) By the end of this episode, you’ll feel equipped to keep moving forward — even when the world around you seems to push back. 🔑 Key Takeaways Resistance is normal — it’s a sign you’re shifting the culture. Comfort and growth can’t exist in the same environment. The key is to stay clear, consistent, and confident about your direction. Your faith, focus, and self-approval are non-negotiables. 🎯 Who This Episode Is For Leaders, entrepreneurs, and creators facing pushback People trying to grow in faith, business, or relationships Anyone feeling misunderstood, resisted, or discouraged while leveling up 📲 Follow & Connect Instagram: TikTok: YouTube:

Stop Faking It: Why Being Yourself Will Always Cost Less | Larger Than Logic Podcast
Too many people waste years molding themselves to fit other people’s expectations—at work, in relationships, even in church—just to avoid rocking the boat. The truth? Whether you fake it or not, someone will still dislike you. There will still be conflict. There will still be discomfort. In this episode of Larger Than Logic Podcast, we unpack why the cost of pretending is always higher than the cost of being real. We talk about: Why knowing your why, your values, and your God-given identity matters How faking it slowly erodes your self-awareness and your connection to God Why emotional labor and people-pleasing will drain you faster than honest conflict How to take up space unapologetically and embrace who God is shaping you to be You’ll walk away knowing why the discomfort of authenticity is always better than the misery of maintaining a facade. It’s time to talk like you talk. Think like you think. Live like you live.

Stop Shrinking Christ: Why We Glorify Men Over God (Part 2) | Larger Than Logic Podcast
Are we unknowingly trading the supremacy of Christ for the traditions and ideologies of men? In this eye-opening episode, we continue to expose the quiet deception that’s crept into modern faith: the subtle shift from Christ-centered worship to man-made tradition and cultural influence. This is Part 2 of a critical charge to men of God: 🔹 Recognize that everything you are and have is through Christ—not charisma, not clout 🔹 Reject traditions that quietly diminish His power, even when dressed in “church” clothes 🔹 Reclaim the reverence due to Jesus—the name above every name We explore Matthew 15, where Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for honoring tradition over God’s law, and we ask: 👉 Have we done the same? 👉 Are we upholding truth—or just co-signing culture? If you’ve ever felt a disconnect between what we preach and who we glorify… this conversation is for you. Let’s stop being passive.

Don’t Take the Throne Too Soon: Purpose Over Position| Larger Than Logic Podcast
In this episode of Larger Than Logic, we dive into a powerful moment in John 6:10–15 when Jesus feeds the five thousand, and the crowd tries to make Him king by force. But instead of seizing the opportunity, He withdraws—reminding us that not every position of power is a part of God’s plan for our lives. We talk about the temptation of titles, influence, and premature elevation—especially when others are pushing us into roles we were never meant to fill. While many would chase the crown, Jesus chose to stay focused on His true assignment. Whether it’s a leadership role, a flashy opportunity, or a title that feeds your ego, sometimes saying no is the most obedient thing you can do. Key Takeaways: Why Jesus refused the crown in John 6:15 The danger of being elevated by man instead of by God How to discern what’s a distraction vs. divine assignment Why purpose should lead, not popularity Don’t get caught chasing what looks good at the expense of what’s God. 🎧 Tune in now.

The AVOIDABLE Danger Of Your Feelings Becoming Beliefs | Larger Than Logic Podcast
In this personal episode, I’m sharing something I’ve come to believe deeply: Your feelings will shape your reality—but they should never shape your beliefs. We talk about: 🧠 How your emotions can mislead you into false realities 💔 How someone can mean you well, but if it feels like hate, it changes how you respond 🔁 How our emotional conditioning affects how we interpret everything around us This episode is not a lecture—it’s a reflection. I’ve come to realize that letting my emotions drive my beliefs is dangerous—because my beliefs guide my actions. And if my beliefs aren’t rooted in Christ, then my actions can spiral. So I’m learning (and sharing with you) how to: Take inventory of how I feel without letting those feelings rule me Anchor my decisions in truth that doesn’t change—Jesus Pursue Christ-centered outcomes, not emotion-centered reactions If you’ve ever wrestled with emotions that feel real but conflict with your faith… this is for you. 🎧 Tap in now—and let’s realign together. 📲 Social Media Instagram: TikTok: YouTube:

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. 🔗 Follow & Connect: 📲 Instagram: 📲 TikTok: 📺 YouTube:

And yet, everything and everyone burned in the fire… except God. In this raw and reflective episode, I walk through my personal story — the journey through childhood, college, and adulthood — and how I finally found my real purpose: working for God. But just because I found it doesn’t mean it’s easy. Now, I’m learning how to stay locked in and walk with purpose in every chapter of life. If you’ve ever felt like you were chasing something but still coming up empty… this one is for you. 🔑 Topics Covered: Why purpose isn’t a destination — it’s revealed in layers The struggle of consistency even after clarity How to recognize when God is speaking vs. when you’re just striving What “working for God” really means as a man, husband, and leader 🎯 Whether you’re lost, in the middle, or just getting clear — this episode will hit home.

Men, If You Don’t Protect Your Family, Who Will? | Larger Than Logic Podcast
Too many men are passive about what matters most—protecting their family. This episode is a wake-up call for every husband, father, and man of God to draw the line and stand firm, even when it’s uncomfortable. We’re talking about: • Why protecting your family sometimes means checking friends, family, or even professionals. • The silent disrespect that’s happening right in front of you—and how to stop it. • Why you’re the only one truly responsible, no matter who else “should” care. Your wife deserves a man who sets the standard. Your kids need a father who enforces the boundary. And at the end of the day—your family will thank you. ✅ Action Steps from This Episode: • Speak the boundaries out loud. “We don’t allow that here.” • Enforce them—with love, but without compromise. • Don’t be afraid to walk away from people who can’t respect your home. This isn’t about being tough. It’s about being trusted. 🎧 Listen now on YouTube, Apple Podcasts & Spotify. 🎙 New episodes every Tuesday 🔗 Social Media Instagram: TikTok: YouTube:

Am I still a good man if I don’t make a lot of money? | LTL Podcast
Am I still a good man if I don’t make a lot of money? It’s the unspoken question most men wrestle with—and the loud standard culture uses to measure us. Yes, survival matters. Yes, money helps. But **your character, mindset, and habits define your value—**not your bank account. In this episode of Larger Than Logic, we expose the lie that a man’s worth is tied to his income. You’ll hear: Why your mindset and habits matter more than your status How to renew your identity and let go of comparison Why God’s design for men isn’t based on wealth but on wisdom How to lead your life and family even if you’re in a financial valley If you’ve ever felt “less than” for not having more, this conversation is your reset. 👉 Share this with a man who needs the reminder: You’re more than a paycheck. 💥 Social Media Instagram: TikTok: YouTube:

They Judge the Fit, Not the Fruit: Why I’m Dressing Up to Break Down Bias | LTL Podcast
In this episode of the Larger Than Logic Podcast, I’m getting personal. I’ve made a conscious decision to shift how I dress—leaning into a more business casual style—not for vanity, but for strategy. This isn’t about fashion. It’s about perception, power, and purpose. In a world (and culture) that often judges your worth based on your appearance before your words, I’m challenging the system from the inside out. I open up about: • Why appearance-based prejudice has always rubbed me the wrong way • How my upbringing gave me a deep distaste for judging people by how they look • The quiet power in changing how I show up visually—to shift the narrative for others, too • Why dressing with intentionality isn’t selling out… it’s stepping in to shift culture • How this decision could unlock doors for the next generation of Black men This episode isn’t about looking “respectable.” It’s about reclaiming control of how we’re perceived—while still holding on to character, conviction, and community. If you’re a man trying to balance authenticity with influence—this one’s for you. 💼👟 🧠 Tap in. Get inspired.

Becoming the Man You’ve Always Wanted to Be (But Didn’t Know How)

Becoming the Man You’ve Always Wanted to Be (But Didn’t Know How)
What do you do when you’re chasing the man you’ve always dreamed of becoming… but don’t know how to get there? No clear path. No perfect role model. Just pressure. This episode is for every man, husband, and father who’s ever felt the weight of growth without a guide. I’m talking about the silent struggle to build something you’ve never seen — to lead when you never had a blueprint. Even with great men around, it can feel like no one’s been exactly where you are. That kind of journey gets lonely. It feels invisible. And society rarely honors the weight of it. But God does. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal testimony — from fighting God’s plan to finally realizing: any man built on anything but God is set up to fall. We’re not perfect. But we’ve come a long way. Let’s stop downplaying the progress, the lessons, the scars, and the strength it took to get here. If you’ve ever felt like your journey didn’t matter because it didn’t look like someone else’s… this is your episode. 📢 Listen now and tag a brother who needs to hear this.
