EP 23: Overcome Sin with a Desire for God – David Bowden

In Faith Journey, Podcast, Spiritual Growth by David Bowden

“Affections can only be replaced; they cannot be cancelled.”

In his letter to the Roman church, the apostle Paul wrote  “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” (Romans 7:15)

Like Paul, many men find themselves in similar battles with sin. Have you ever felt like there’s a sin you just can’t conquer? Like there are certain things you keep doing over and over again but you don’t know why?

David Bowden, co-founder of Spoken Gospel and author of Rewire Your Heart: Replace Your Desire for Sin with Desire For God, reminded us that our hearts are wired to pursue our desires, and the only way to overcome sin is not by saying “no” to sinful desires, but by saying “yes” to God. 

Listen to this episode and learn the first steps to take to rewire your heart and win the battle against sin.
