🏆 Victory is dangerous — if you don’t guard your heart.
In Episode 9, we follow Gideon after the battle… and watch how pride, compromise, and idolatry slowly creep in.

This episode hits deep because it reveals a truth many believers face today:
💥 The enemy often attacks hardest AFTER the victory.

In this episode we unpack:
• Gideon’s shift from humble warrior ➝ prideful leader
• How the ephod became a trap for him AND Israel
• The spiritual danger of success without surrender
• How to guard your heart after breakthrough
• Why the enemy loves subtle idolatry more than open rebellion
