When Lust and Desire Take Control | Deadly Se7en Ep. 5

When does a normal desire become something more dangerous?

In Episode 5 of Deadly Se7en, Mike Richards and Dan Hanson take on Lust—one of the most misunderstood of the seven deadly sins. Lust is often reduced to sexual temptation, but at its core, it raises a much bigger question: What happens when our desires begin controlling us instead of us controlling them?

Mike and Dan discuss how lust can distort the way we see other people, how temptation works in everyday life, and why simply having desires isn't the same thing as allowing those desires to rule our decisions.

As with the rest of the Deadly Se7en series, the conversation goes beyond simply labeling something as a sin and looks at why it matters, how it affects our lives and relationships, and what Scripture teaches us about responding to it.
