You’re not alone. Research shows that among all character strengths, self-control ranks dead last in how people rate themselves. But what if the problem isn’t just your willpower… what if it’s how you’re using it? In this teaching, we explore the deeper truth behind self-control—why willpower gets depleted, how habits shape your life, and why “white-knuckling it” isn’t the solution. Drawing from Scripture, psychology, and spiritual wisdom, you’ll discover a surprising secret: The key to self-control isn’t trying harder… it’s learning to surrender your will to something greater. If you feel stuck in cycles of frustration, temptation, or burnout, this message offers a better way forward. 📚 Today's Resources: Willpower by Roy Baumeister Insights from Allan Willes Commentary from Ezra Sullivan 🙌 New episodes every weekday. 📲 Subscribe, like, and share to help others grow spiritually.
