Basic Instincts: How to Overcome Fear, Anger and Lust

Ever heard the phrase, cause and effect? Our behaviors and actions are the effects of something deeply rooted in us. We are warned by Paul, the apostle, in Galatians 5:19-21 of the dangers of walking in the flesh. All these behaviors outlined by Paul stem from the three basic instincts of humankind, and being a believer doesn’t save you from them without extra effort. In this episode, we discuss these three emotions – Fear, anger, and lust and how to bring them under control and not let them detect our lives.
