Step Up with Chris Kouba

The Temptations That Take Down Men: Gold, Girls, and Glory


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, Pastor Chris and Host Josh Thomas unpack a time-tested warning that has echoed across generations of men—and particularly those in leadership and ministry: beware of gold, girls, and glory. Through honest dialogue, biblical insight, and personal stories, they explore how money, relationships, and pride continue to derail even the most well-intentioned men.

Drawing from Deuteronomy 17, the conversation reveals how these three temptations manifest subtly through social media, comparison, identity, and unchecked ambition. This episode lays the foundation for a deeper dive into each of these topics in upcoming episodes.
