Ep.323 | 5 Minute Drill | How to Recognize When You’re in the Temptation Danger Zone

You ever look back on a decision and think, “What the heck was I thinking?”

Truth is, you probably WEREN’T thinking — at least not clearly.

Because that’s what happens when fatigue takes over. When the pressure builds. When you’re worn out and running on fumes.

Late night
Long day
Back-to-back setbacks
Isolation

That’s the perfect setup…
Not for growth.
Not for breakthrough.
But for TEMPTATION.

Here’s what most guys don’t realize: Temptation doesn’t show up when you’re strong. It waits until you’re tired, distracted, and spiritually sloppy. So that’s why this week’s 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show is a must-listen. In this episode, I’m handing you a battle-tested strategy to…

  • Identify the exact conditions that make you most vulnerable
  • Catch red flags before they turn into regret
  • Stay grounded and alert when life hits hard

So, if you’re tired of falling into the same traps, and tired of watching your integrity and leadership slip when you’re drained — then lock in to this episode.

Let’s get it!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • How exhaustion, stress, and isolation make you a prime target for temptation
  • The science behind why your brain and body become more vulnerable under fatigue and chronic stress
  • A biblical case study of King David’s downfall — and how it mirrors the modern pro and executive athlete’s life
  • A practical 3-step strategy to recognize your danger zones, build self-awareness, and stay spiritually guarded
  • A powerful reminder that real strength is found in rest, community, and connection — not doing life alone
