Ever wonder why you keep falling for the same temptations over and over?

In this episode, Dr. Alex Lloyd breaks down why hope—not just faith and love—is essential for breaking free from destructive patterns. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13 and personal experience, Alex reveals how biblical hope is the "temptation buster" that changes everything.
