#20 - Tug Of War - Part 1

Welcome back Faith it Family!

After a transformative December, James dives right back into a profound exploration of the ongoing tug of war within our being—the battle of flesh, spirit, and soul. This episode unravels the complex interplay between the physical and spiritual aspects of humanity, drawing parallels to traditional narratives of faith and redemption.

Our host vividly illustrates this struggle, likening it to a game of tug of war. On one side lies the flesh, teeming with worldly desires and sin, while the other side is pulled by the spirit, striving for virtues like love, joy, and patience. The soul is caught in the middle, being the prime target of this eternal conflict. Through metaphors of gardens and weeds, James emphasizes the necessity of nurturing the spirit to overcome the ever-feeding flesh.

This episode challenges listeners to see beyond the immediate temptations of the world. James discusses the importance of walking by the Spirit, as echoed in Galatians and 1 Peter, to avoid the sinful desires that wage war against the soul. Drawing from biblical references, he highlights the spiritual warfare surrounding us and stresses the power of testimony in battling the devil's schemes.
