We name the daily fight between the flesh and the Spirit and why sheer willpower cannot change what we want. We lay out a simple path to real spiritual growth by feeding the Spirit through habits and community that reshape desire.\n\n• Galatians 5 and the conflict between flesh and Spirit\n• Mortification and vivification as the pattern for change\n• Abiding in Christ from John 15 and the role of pruning\n• Why saying no to sin is not enough without stirred affections\n• Three essentials for walking by the Spirit: God’s Word, God’s presence, God’s people\n• Sermons and Bible study and trusting the Holy Spirit as the true teacher\n• Prayer as a consistent first response and worship as a corporate practice\n• Brotherhood, fellowship, and serving others as a safeguard against isolation\n• The “two dogs” story and the principle of feeding what you want to grow\n\nBefore you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review.
