Dr. Erwin Lutzer is Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church where he served as the senior pastor for 36 years.  He’s the speaker on the Running to Win radio broadcast as well as an award-winning author. Some of his titles include: We Will Not Be Silenced, The Eclipse of God, When a Nation Forgets God, One Minute After You Die,and many others.  

Is there a habit that has been your Achilles heel; something that no matter what you do, you can’t seem to shake it?  You’ve prayed about it, you’ve asked forgiveness for it over and over again.  You’ve read passages in the Bible concerning it, but it continues to plague you.  This is something that affects many individuals.  

Dr. Lutzer wrote a book which was originally published many years ago, but it’s become not only a staple for the library, but a book that is helping a whole new generation of believers.  It’s a book to help you overcome the struggles in your life through a lasting transformation of attitude and heart.  It’s titled: How To Say No to a Stubborn Habit (Even When You Feel Like Saying Yes).

What is so alluring about temptation that makes it easy to fall for it?  What does believing that God is good have to do with our bad habits?  What does it mean to trust in God’s grace?  Should our past be our governing motivation or should we put our past behind us?

These are just some of the questions answered on this broadcast as Dr. Lutzer leads listeners through Scripture to bring the answers all of us need to defeat stubborn habits!
