Ever consider how desire impacts our closeness to God? Do you wonder why peace and joy are eluding you? Today’s episode walks through a difficult cycle that may be separating you from God

Welcome to Staying Real About Faith & Family. If you’re looking for a community where you can get real about life without resistance, you’re in the right place. I’m Linda Goldfarb, and each week, Heather Greer and I offer personal insight to encourage transparent living from a biblical viewpoint with practical applications. Staying Real with the Holy Spirit’s leading is what we’re all about – we pray today’s episode blesses you.

Linda walks us through the cycle of Desire-Sin-Death found in James 1:14-15  “But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.”

Discover why God places such a strong emphasis on our mind and how sensory memory impacts our desires which can lead to sin and separation from God.

Today’s thought Consideration – When we align our desires with God’s will, we can live with His full measure of joy.

We share several Scriptures:
James 1:12-15
Romans 12:1-2
Romans 7:15-17
James 1:16-17
James 1:18
John 17:13-16
