Welcome to One Single Story! Join hosts Pastor Stephen Mizell, Pastor Jay Rivenbark, and special guest Pastor Sheryl Daughety as they explore how temptation disguises danger and why discernment is essential in avoiding destructive paths. This conversation unpacks the gradual nature of temptation and the practical steps we can take to protect ourselves before we ever face it. Scripture Focus: Proverbs 7:6-23 - A father's warning about the dangers of temptation, illustrated through the story of a naive young man who wanders into a trap, showing how temptation unfolds gradually rather than suddenly. In This Episode: How temptation rarely arrives suddenly but unfolds over time through small decisions Why the allure of temptation can become greater than the perceived threat The importance of teaching those under our influence about boundaries before they face temptation How timing, location, and proximity play crucial roles in avoiding destructive paths The power of discernment in determining direction, not just decisions Why wise counsel from others can help us see danger before we recognize it ourselves Practical steps to avoid destructive paths including recognizing true motives and practicing early obedience Key Quote: "When you're down a dirt road in the backseat of a car with a girl, that's not the time to decide you're going to live a godly life. You needed to make that decision before you left, before you turned down the road, before you got in the backseat. All of those decisions are not right or wrong decisions, but when you get there, it makes wrong a lot easier to choose."
