Jesus is LeadingHow to Stop Running from the Devil | What It Means to Flee Temptation | James 1:12In Part 13 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah teaches from James 1:12 to show that fleeing temptation is about more than just running—it’s about becoming. Temptation reveals whether you’re chasing comfort or choosing to look like Christ. The power to endure isn’t found in willpower but in identity, the Word, and a desire to please God. Endurance produces evidence, and that evidence is a life that honors God—especially in hard seasons.Visit my website - www.jesusisleading.com2025-05-2205 min
