Your Daily Bible Verse
About this episode

Today’s Bible Verse: "Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted" - Hebrews 2:18

Temptation is something we all face—but we don’t face it alone. Hebrews 2:18 reminds us that Jesus understands our struggles because He walked through them Himself. He knows what it’s like to feel pressure, weakness, and the pull of sin—yet He overcame. And because of that, He offers us strength, guidance, and grace right when we need it most.
