Running to Grace When Temptation Hits with Lina AbuJamra & The Temptation to Live in Your Own Strength with Anne Graham Lotz

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, "Temptation," by discussing various temptations with experts in their respective fields and how they overcome them. Our first guest, Anne Graham Lotz, joined us to talk about the subtle temptations believers face, explaining how self-consciousness, self-reliance, and spiritual laziness can pull us away from faith, even as God calls us to focus on Jesus, walk by the Spirit, and meet with Him daily. Anne is known for her deep biblical wisdom, speaks globally, and authored “God Won’t Leave You There.” Lina AbuJamra joined us as well to talk about temptation, explaining how believers can move past shame, understand what drives their desires, and run to the throne of grace, where Christ provides a way of escape. Lina is the founder of Living With Power Ministries and ministers to singles through her Moody Radio show, “Today’s Single Christian,” and also hosts “The Hope Podcast.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
