Summary

Have you ever stopped to ponder the line “lead us not into temptation” while praying the Lord’s Prayer? We all experience different types of temptations daily, but it is our response to that temptation that matters. Dr. Edward Sri brings inspiration from St. Thomas Aquinas on why God allows us to be tempted and ways in which we can use our everyday temptations for good in our soul.

Snippet from the Show
We will never be tempted beyond our strength if we learn to rely on God.
