Be on guard: Resist the enemy’s attacks against you and what God has for you (REPLAY)

The Bible tells us that the enemy prowls like a roaring lion — but many of his attacks and temptations to sin sneak in. Envy at a friend’s house, a moment of discouragement while cooking dinner, a thought that says, “Why not me, God?”

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to be on guard against Satan’s work — envy, ungratefulness, bitterness, laziness, gossip — and how to pivot, with the power of Jesus Christ in you, back into a life God has for us: contentment, joy, gratitude, and purpose.

(This episode is a REPLAY from October 2025. Megan is sick and wasn't able to put out a new episode today, so here is a TOP community favorite Megan could listen to again and again.)
