How do I know when I'm being tempted?

How do you actually know when temptation starts?
Is it obvious, or do we usually realize it after we’ve already talked ourselves into it?

This clip gets into how temptation actually shows up in everyday life and why it’s rarely as dramatic or clear-cut as people make it sound. The conversation touches on discernment, personal responsibility, and how faith intersects with real decisions, not just hypothetical ones. It’s less about blaming the devil and more about recognizing patterns we already know too well.

Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman unpack the difference between being tested, being tempted, and just wanting what you want. They keep it honest, a little uncomfortable, and grounded in real-life church culture, not polished answers. The goal isn’t to moralize, it’s to actually notice what’s happening before you pretend you didn’t see it.

Hosted by Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman, When I Heard This creates space for Christians and skeptics alike to talk about faith without the corporate tone or churchy clichés.
