In this Good Morning LIVE teaching, Pastor James Epperly unpacks James 1:13–18 (NKJV) to reveal how temptation begins, how it grows, and how believers can defeat it. Temptation is universal — but defeat is not. James shows us the source of temptation, the step-by-step cycle it follows, and the powerful resources God gives us to overcome.

If you've ever asked, “Why am I tempted?” or “How do I stop repeating the same cycles?” — this message will give you clarity, strategy, and strength.
