Скачать или смотреть 25 Ways to Recognise and Resist Spiritual Compromise

Hello everyone! Greetings and Happy Sunday! I recorded this video on the theme of being compromised from a biblical perspective. It ended up being much longer than I anticipated—almost an hour—which perhaps reflects the depth of the topic (or maybe I just enjoy talking freely—probably a bit of both!).

I would recommend watching the video in two or three parts throughout the week, as an hour-long video can be a lot to take in all at once. There’s some truly fascinating and thought-provoking content in it. While recording, I found myself reflecting even more on how many of us allow ourselves to become compromised before God through our desires, self-seeking, negligence and weaknesses.

Here are the examples that I mention and talk about in the video itself.
