    Jun 15 2025

    What if the biggest fight you’ll ever face isn’t out there—but inside you?

    In this powerful premiere episode, we explore The War Within—the unseen battle raging in the hearts and minds of every human. Drawing from the profound teachings of Dr. Charles A. Moody Jr., this episode unpacks the root of our inner conflicts, the origin of our temperaments, and the spiritual fallout from the fall of man in Genesis.

    We’ll trace God’s original intent for humanity through the Hebrew creation narrative and discover how sin rewired our DNA, impacting our relationships, decisions, and even our identity. This is more than theology—it’s a mirror into the soul.

    🧠💥 Whether you’ve struggled with identity, conflict, or the “God made me this way” mindset, this episode will challenge what you believe and ignite your desire for transformation. Because the only way to win the war within… is to understand it.
