And more often than not, those temptations take one of 5 common forms: certainty, obsession, apathy, distraction, or isolation. In this episode, Alex talks with Ben about how these temptations tend to manifest in our businesses and our personal lives. They then discuss practical strategies for avoiding each one. \nEpisode Recap:Every leader faces temptations that can lead us off track. 1. Certainty: To be a person of faith is to accept that you don’t know everything. What does it look like to have faith while also stewarding your resources well?2: Obsession: Even good things can be temptations when we start thinking we need them.Is your life serving your business, or is your business serving your life? To avoid obsession, establish rhythms of self control. 3. Apathy: When our obsessions fail to fulfill us, it’s easy to fall into apathy. Practice seeing ordinary tasks as acts of worship. 4. Distraction: We tend to lose focus when we don’t hold fast to our vision. You were not created for comfort, you were created for service. 5. Isolation: Healthy growth never occurs without community.  Resources:Follow the podcast on Apple or SpotifySchedule a call to learn more about Path for Growth Coaching and CommunityDownload the Free Reading GuideJoin us for our 2025 Experience – Long Game Leadership “Decision Making and the Will of God” by Gary Friesen \nConnect with our Founder Alex Judd on LinkedIn and Instagram","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/IIGlhIcXs9GmjlL-ZDR_aUxRZEyk9zbAveTfG_FoQ0Y/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xMmY2/Y2U4MjJhMTE5MzFh/MjA5ZGQxYTllYjA0/OTI5Yy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
