What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this special Sunday episode of 'J Hirtle The Last Storyteller', Jim Hirtle reflects on the challenges of temptation as the new year unfolds. As resolutions are made, temptations seem to pop up like weeds, ready to derail the best-laid plans. Hirtle delves into the nature of temptation, drawing from his own experiences and Sunday morning devotions, to illustrate how even the smallest indulgences can lead us astray.
He shares personal anecdotes about how seemingly innocuous temptations can evolve into larger struggles, be it a shiny item in a store or the allure of alcohol. Jim explores practical strategies for overcoming these temptations, advocating for daily devotions, prayer, and the power of music to keep one's mind focused on positive influences. He challenges listeners to consider how prayer can be a constant companion in moments of weakness, offering a lifeline when it feels like temptation might win.
With humour and honesty, he urges everyone to keep their faith strong and to remember that even when we falter, there is always a path back to strength. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that while temptations are inevitable, they don't have to define us. Jim's insights offer hope and practical advice for anyone struggling with addiction or simply trying to keep their resolutions intact. So, how do you plan to handle temptations this year?
Whether it's through prayer, music, or other means, there's always a way to rise above.
