The Enemy Within | For The Record, Week 2

Author: Hope Community Church - Raleigh, NC April 20, 2026 Duration: 33:56

Pressure doesn’t just test you, it exposes you.
What you’re blaming on your situation might actually be coming from within.
The lie feels justified, the pull feels right, but it’s leading somewhere you don’t want to go.
The question is not what you’re facing, it’s what you’re feeding.
