Self-control isn’t just about keeping quiet when someone tests your patience. It’s the Spirit-empowered ability to say no to your flesh and yes to God. In this episode, our guest host, Mercy Johnson, takes us on a deep and honest reflection on what true self-control looks like beyond willpower or personality.

From cravings to boundaries, discipline to surrender, she shares how the Holy Spirit helps us resist the urge to react and instead walk in step with Him.

Whether it’s the temptation to overindulge, spiral, or ignore that gentle nudge from God, this one is for you.
