Temptation doesn’t only show up in obvious ways. Sometimes it shows up when we’re exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, hurt, or just trying to make it through the day.

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, Sherri is joined by three wise and honest women for a real conversation about what temptation can look like in seasons of depletion, burnout, secrecy, overworking, numbing, and survival mode.

This is Part 1 of a two-part panel discussion wrapping up the temptation series.

In this conversation, they talk about:

  • how temptation often meets legitimate needs in illegitimate ways
  • why burnout and emotional exhaustion can make us more vulnerable
  • the temptation to numb, escape, hide, or pretend we’re okay
  • the power of bringing struggles into the light
  • why Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and trusted relationships matter so much when we’re trying to overcome

This episode is honest, practical, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever felt drained, stuck, or tempted to cope in ways that only create more distance from God, others, or themselves.
