Why does temptation always show up right after you think you’re fine?

Like it’s been waiting for a cue.

In Episode 167 – Temptation Strikes Back, the conversation keeps going on how Christians actually deal with temptation in real life, not the cleaned up version we pretend exists. We talk about why temptation feels repetitive, why it hits when your guard is down, and why church answers often sound confident but feel wildly unhelpful.

This episode digs into the Christian perspective on temptation without turning it into a sermon. We unpack testing versus tempting, why self control gets oversimplified, and how guilt quietly becomes a leadership and culture problem inside the church. It’s honest, messy, and way more relatable than most faith conversations about this topic.

Hosted by Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman, this discussion stays grounded in real life experiences, humor, and the questions people actually ask when they’re not trying to sound spiritual. If you’ve ever felt like temptation conversations miss the human part, this episode probably sounds uncomfortably familiar.
