Why You Keep Doing What You Hate Doing... | Faith Friday Ep. 8

Author: Jeanine Amapola March 20, 2026 Duration: 37:45
If you’ve ever said, “This is the last time”… and then found yourself right back in the same place—this episode is for you! In Romans 7, Paul puts words to a struggle we all feel but rarely talk about:doing the very things we hate… even when we know better. This episode breaks down: Why willpower alone isn’t working The real reason you feel stuck in the same cycle What the Bible actually says about your struggle with sin And why the answer isn’t trying harder, but something deeper If you’ve been frustrated with yourself, feeling like you should be further along by now… you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. This might completely change how you see your struggle.
