It's easy to get caught up in the idea that God is the one tempting us to sin. But that's not the case. In today's episode, we explore the nuances between testing and temptation:
The definition of "temptation" and how it is different from testing.
A discussion of Eve and Jesus, two people who were tempted. One gave in to temptation, the other resisted. 
God gives us a way out of temptation, but we must put on the full armor of God to prepare ourselves for the challenges we'll face.
A discussion of Abraham and Job, who illustrate testing and God's sovereignty. 
Why we can expect to be tested as Christians.

With a mix of biblical teaching and personal stories, this episode will help you navigate the complexities of life as a Christian. If you're looking for a deeper understanding of God's role in your life, and how to distinguish between testing and temptation, this episode is a must-listen.
