Do you ever feel like your desires are calling the shots in your daily decisions? In this episode, we tackle the lie: "I want this… so I should have it." We'll look at why desire can't be your decision-maker, how culture feeds this mindset, and what Scripture says about living by design instead of impulse. As you listen, you'll have a chance to renew your mind and learn practical ways to say no to the habits that keep pulling you off track.

Do you ever set goals and fail to reach them? On today's podcast, we'll discuss ten tips to help you achieve your goals. I've asked my friend and fellow podcaster/author, Dr. Melanie Wilson, to help me with this episode as she is the master at completing goals!
