Be on guard: Resist the enemy’s attacks against you and what God has for you

The Bible tells us that the enemy prowls like a roaring lion — but many of his attacks and temptations to sin sneak in.
A flicker of envy at a friend’s house, a small moment of discouragement while cooking dinner, a quiet thought that says, “Why not me, God?”

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to be on guard against Satan’s work — envy, ungratefulness, bitterness, laziness, gossip — and how to pivot, with the power of Jesus Christ in you, back into a life God has for us: contentment, joy, gratitude, and purpose.
