Host: TJ Freeman

Summary: In this podcast episode of 'Back to Rurality,' host TJ Freeman explores the universal struggle against temptation by sharing one of his own personal battles. Freeman offers biblical insights, particularly focusing on 1 Corinthians 10:13, to encourage listeners that they are not alone in their temptations, that God is faithful, and that there is a way to endure and escape temptation without giving in. 

Key Points:

• The Root Issues Behind Temptations: Freeman connects his fear of flying to a broader spiritual struggle of not trusting God's sovereign control. 
• Temptations are Universal: Believers should know and take comfort that they are not alone in any temptation that they are facing. The parade of saints who have gone before have gotten through this very temptation with God's help.

Listener Takeaways:

• Scripture memory can be helpful in the fight to resist temptations. Trust that the Holy Spirit will bring that to mind when it is needed most. 
• It is helpful and necessary for Christians to seek accountability in their common temptations. This helps bring temptations out of the dark and into the light. 
• Since temptation is a constant battle, a believer must fight to continuously turn to God's promises for strength and deliverance. Pray that the Lord will help one to cling to these promises.
