Brett challenges students to recognize the daily spiritual battle for their hearts and minds, emphasizing that they must either take control of their faith or be controlled by the world’s temptations. Using the analogy of intense hunger and temptation, he illustrates how Satan deceives people into chasing temporary pleasures that never satisfy. Teaching from Ephesians 4:17-24, Avery explains that believers must reject their old, sinful nature and actively put on a new life in Christ. He warns against cultural influences that distort truth and calls students to fight back through surrender, honesty, accountability, and discipline. True transformation requires renewing the mind—removing worldly distractions and filling their hearts with God’s truth. The message is a direct challenge: will you control your faith and pursue Christ, or will you let the world control you?
