Satan’s Playbook: The Subtle Ways He Wins

In this episode, the host of Overcoming Trauma opens up about a deeply personal struggle: how Satan’s quiet influence pulled him away from God during one of the hardest trials of his life.

Drawing from the Book of Mormon, he shares three tactics the adversary uses to sway us from the truth—convincing us there is no God, stirring our hearts to anger against Him, or lulling us into carnal security. For him, it wasn’t disbelief or anger. It was the slow drift of complacency, choosing the appetites of the flesh over the harder but sweeter work of turning to God.

Through scripture, prayer, and the grace of Jesus Christ, he learned that even when we stumble into Satan’s traps, the Savior is still there, ready to heal. Christ is the master healer, who not only atoned for our sins but also took upon Himself our traumas, afflictions, and heartbreaks. The message is simple but urgent: Satan whispers lies in our pain, but Christ offers healing, revelation, and peace if we humble ourselves and turn back to Him.

This episode isn’t just about resisting temptation. It’s about recognizing the adversary’s tactics, remembering who Christ is, and finding hope in the promise that you are never too far gone for God’s grace.
