How To Recover From Bad Choices!

We all make bad choices, and sometimes they come back to haunt us. Using Little Red Riding Hood, Dr. Mike Ladra shows that bad choices don’t make you a bad person, and they don’t have to be the end of your story. He explains why the wolf in fairy tales stands for Satan, who is prowling for someone to devour. He then shows how to rebound: guard your mind against the thoughts that lead to bad choices, stop taking the bait of temptation, stop making excuses, and when the warning bell rings, run.

Temptations: Why Not Enjoy Yourself?!!

Why fight temptation when it feels so good? Dr. Ladra uses King David and Bathsheba to show how temptation trades short-term pleasure for long-term pain. He explains why being tempted isn’t a sin and how Satan baits a hook just for you. Then he gives three ways to win: stay out of the “parking lot,” remember that God sees everything, and run when the bell rings.
