Why do temptations feel so strong — and so hard to resist? In this unique and thought-provoking session, Carl unpacks temptation through an unexpected lens: theology, biology, and the way we actually experience desire. Drawing from Scripture, St. Thomas Aquinas, and even modern neuroscience, he explores what’s happening in both the soul and the body when temptation arises — and why it can feel overwhelming. But this isn’t just theory. You’ll walk away with practical, concrete ways to respond to temptation, build virtue, and live with greater freedom — learning not just to avoid sin, but to understand and overcome it.
