The Battle Between Flesh and Spirit
⚔️ "The battle may be tough, but victory is already yours in Christ."
Episode Overview
Have you ever felt caught in the tension between doing what you know is right and giving in to what feels easy or tempting? In today’s episode, we dive into the spiritual battle between the flesh and the Spirit—a daily struggle that shapes how we live and love.
The good news? You’re not fighting this battle alone. Through God’s Word, prayer, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you have the strength to choose love, joy, peace, and self-control over the fleeting pulls of selfish desires. Let’s explore how to lean into the Spirit and walk in victory.

Supporting Scripture
📖 Galatians 5:17: “For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other.”
📖 Romans 8:5-6: “Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.”
📖 Ephesians 6:12: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
