Your Will or God’s Be Done? Lessons From Peter and Jesus’ Trials

Why does living a fruitful Christian life feel like such a monumental task? What tempts us away from paths of righteousness? In this episode of the Jaime Luce Podcast, we explore Jesus and Peter's experiences in Luke 22, reminding us that we can find strength in prayer and resolve to align our choices with God's will. We'll discover how dealing with pride and sorrow can be transformative, opening the doors to victory and freedom. Just as Jesus did, we too can learn to make sacrifices and choose the right path over the easy one.

In this episode, you’ll hear: 

• A study into Luke 22
• How to avoid temptation
• The importance of choosing God’s will over our own
