CHOOSE NOT THE FLESH

CHOOSE NOT THE FLESH

Author: Pernell & Tay August 13, 2025 Duration: 41:44

Every day, the flesh wages war against us. It seeks to devour us, feeding us a false reality—convincing us that self-gain and worldly success are worth more than obedience to God. But the Bible shows us that this is not new.

  • David refused to kill Saul, even when it would have elevated him.
  • Joseph resisted the seduction of Potiphar’s wife.
  • Daniel would not adopt the ways of the king’s court.
  • Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego would not bow to the golden image.

Each of them faced temptation that appealed to the flesh, yet they chose God over compromise.

The flesh will not stop tempting you—and the enemy will use it to keep you from the promises of God. But victory comes when you decide that the Spirit will lead and not the flesh.

Let today be the day you choose the Spirit over the flesh, so you can walk fully in what God has prepared for you. "So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." – Galatians 5:16


It all began with a chance meeting that was anything but chance. Pernell and Tay found themselves on the same Royal Caribbean cruise, placed there, as they believe, by a divine hand. That initial connection quickly deepened as they shared their faith with fellow travelers, realizing their bond was a shared calling. What followed that simple exchange of phone numbers was something they never anticipated: Farmers of Faith: Never Lost Always Located. This podcast is the fruit of that unexpected partnership, a space where they explore the daily work of tending to one's spirit. Each conversation is rooted in the principle from 1 Corinthians 3:6-they may plant and water the seeds of insight, but they trust a higher power for the growth. Listeners join Pernell & Tay for honest discussions that feel like a talk with old friends, blending personal stories, scriptural reflection, and the practical realities of walking a spiritual path. The title itself is a promise: that no matter how scattered or distant one may feel, there is a constant, locating grace. Through this podcast, they cultivate a community focused on that unwavering truth, offering encouragement for anyone nurturing their own faith from the ground up.
