Why do I keep repeating the behaviors I hate?

Why do I promise myself: “This is the last time”…only to find myself right back in the same cycle days later?

I know that cycle well, and I hate it too.

When I wrestle with these questions, Romans 7:15-20 often comes to mind. Maybe you are familiar with it.

You may have read that verse and felt a little like you were reading a Dr. Seuss book. I get it, it seems repetitive and maybe a little long-winded, but the message seems clear to me.

Did you catch it?

Don’t let this discourage you, though.

Today, I hope to start you on a journey toward freedom from the burden of guilt and shame that comes from patterns of repeated sin.

I’m Ana Murby, and this is Honest Christian Conversations, minisode edition. I’m all too familiar with unhealthy behavior patterns, being a former porn addict for 17 years. During my sobriety journey, I learned a lot about myself and what makes me tick, and I hope today I can help you uncover some things about yourself that will change the trajectory of your life, as mine did.

Let’s get to it.

Here is an example of the vicious cycle of addiction:

Does this cycle seem to be relevant to your struggle?

I resonate with it, not just with my former porn addiction, but all other addictive behaviors I have or once had.

Take a moment and list out three behaviors you repeat and how they make you feel.

Do you find yourself in the cycle above?

If so, stay here and let’s walk through together how to overcome the flesh.

Overcoming triggers:

The 17 years I was stuck in porn addiction were the darkest and most miserable years of my life. I was constantly full of guilt, shame, hypocrisy, and self-loathing.

I have been blessed to share my story on many podcasts, and one question they usually ask me is, “What were your triggers?”

This is a fun, humbling, and eye-opening question that any addict, or former addict, should answer honestly.

These were mine:

• Negative emotions (mostly anger)

• Insecurity

• A temporary emotional escape from negative emotions or a lack of intimacy with my spouse

• Curiosity

List out some of your own triggers.

Do you see a pattern emerging between both our lists?

They are, on the surface, self-centered drives.

Now, if you are like me, you just heard me say, “You are selfish.”

That is not at all what I am saying, so please don’t hear that lie.

What I am saying is that our desires may stem from trauma, unmet needs, or life experiences that train us to look inward for relief.

It takes time, energy, and daily surrender to stop the cravings.

It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it when you can finally overcome your urges, rather than them overcoming you.

Stay with me as I walk you through how to spot addictive behaviors and what to do about them.

Overcoming Behaviors:

The triggers I mentioned earlier always brought me to pornography for “relief” from my life.

What do your triggers always draw you back to, whether you like it or not?

Behavior patterns are a funny thing.

What do kids do once they find a movie, song, or book they love?

They replay it over and over until you’re ready to scream. Or is that just my children?

The truth is that it’s not just kids who get this way. Adults aren’t that different, are we?

Think of a song you love and try to count how many times you’ve listened to it.

Tell me what your favorite movie is and how many times you’ve seen it.

Pride and Prejudice (the Keira Knightley version) is mine.

I lost track of how many times I have seen it.

If you hate small talk, you will love the awkwardness of this clip from my favorite scene.

The patterns we repeat may seem harmless, but what we repeatedly consume shapes our worldview, habits, and desires over time.

Not all bad behaviors look nefarious, either.

On its surface, working out and eating healthy aren’t bad, until it becomes your all-consuming goal in life.

Even doing Christian things could become a sinful habit.

Don’t believe me?

Why are you serving at church? For Validation? To occupy your time? Church obligation?

Why do you do every bible study you can? To seem overly spiritual? To catch a feeling? Because you think it will get you to heaven?

Your motives matter: if they stop being about God and become about self, even these wholesome endeavors can become driven by sinful motives.

Check your motives every day to see whether they are positive or negative.

Overcoming Guilt and Shame:

This one is hard.

I won’t lie.

Guilt and shame are Satan’s greatest tools to keep you in bondage to your repeated sin.

This is where you need to know who you are in Christ.

If you call yourself a Christian, then you are a child of God.

That should be a big boost in your ability to overcome guilt and shame for repeatedly sinning because you know that your Heavenly Father, even if he has to discipline you, still loves you unconditionally.

If you aren’t a believer or you have fallen away from the faith, this step won’t be as easy to achieve, because lasting transformation is found only in Christ.

Surrendering to Him will be a big step in walking a path of true overcoming.

I encourage you to take a look at all the passages in the bible where God talks about how he loves you.

Find the verses that talk about being a child of God and what power comes with that.

Here is a truth that I hope will set you free from your prison of guilt and shame for repeated sins:

You don’t need to clean up your act to come to Christ; you need to believe and then allow the Holy Spirit to change you through time.

It could be a short time or a longer one, but you will see a change.

The temptation to sin will always be there, as Paul wrote in our opening verse; it’s our sinful nature warring inside us. But in Christ, you have the power to overcome.

Overcoming the Repeat:

Now that you understand your triggers, what behaviors they draw you to, and how to combat guilt and shame, let’s learn how to stop the repeat cycle of these bad behaviors.

Too bad there isn’t a button to click to turn off the repeat, like there is on your favorite music app, am I right?

This step will take intentionality and determination.

Overcoming patterns and habits you’ve lived in for years won’t be a walk in the park. Well, maybe a walk through Jurassic Park. Yes, I know that was cheesy.

It will be tough and irritating, and it might even make you cry.

That’s okay, let it out to God, share your frustrations with him.

He loves you, and he wants to help you become free more than anyone else.

Take it a day and behavior at a time.

It’s a slow process, not a sprint.

Before I end this, if you need more help on this journey to making healthier habits, I created the Retrain Your Brain series.

It was birthed out of my desire to see people stuck in addictive patterns set free from them, using God’s word as our ultimate source of overcoming.

I encourage you to walk through the 12-week Retrain Your Brain series at your own pace.

I'm ready to retrain my brain

If you can’t think of a time, let’s jog your memory by using some examples from my own life.

In high school, I had some close friends, and we did almost everything together…almost. Several times, they had gone to movies with other friends without inviting me. I found this out because the next day we hung out, they would be talking about the movie and who was there, in front of me.

Another example is whenever my children don’t want to read the bible, don’t eat what I cook, say something awful to a sibling, or throw a tantrum, I take it personally. I would think: “This is all my fault. I am a bad mom.” “Maybe they don’t love me, and that’s why they disrespect me.”

Are you starting to think of your own life examples now? I have plenty more examples, but here is one more.

My husband isn’t a big talker. Most days it’s fine with me. My love language is quality time, so if he just sits with me, I am good 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time, I think, “What did I do wrong now?” “Maybe he is angry with me for something.” Worse yet, “Why doesn’t he want to make time for me? Maybe he doesn’t love me anymore.”

What do you think? Any of these examples hit home for you?

I am a recovering people pleaser and codependent. To this day, in my forties, I am still trying to figure out who I am apart from the noise of everyone in my life.

Can you relate?

Have you heard the saying: You are the sum of the five people you hang out with?

Why do you think that is?

I think it’s because we unintentionally believe their opinions matter more than what God says about us.

If you are feeling convicted right now, you aren’t alone. Remember, I said I was a recovering codependent. We come by this thought pattern honestly. The world tells you various conflicting ideas:

• You can’t trust people, so depend on yourself.

• Women are told not to depend on a man for anything, but also to find their soul mate.

• Men and women are both sold this lie: that a woman’s value is found in her looks.

As a Christian, you need to be fully dependent on Christ.

It can all be overwhelming, right?

How should you handle all this tension?

Glad you asked.

I had a heart-to-heart conversation with a man whose family was turned upside down when he discovered his wife’s empty bag of pharmaceutical drug bottles behind the couch.

After trying to confront her about it and getting nowhere, his codependency started to kick in, and he tried to become her savior, which only fueled the fire of her addiction.

Steve Rotermund is a former pastor and the founder of Walk Right Ministries, which he started after his own journey through codependency.

Steve was very vulnerable with me about how his wife’s addiction affected him and his family.

He also shared valuable information for learning the signs of an unhealthy versus a healthy relationship.

If you have ever felt an intense desire to make everyone like you, felt a sense of inadequacy fluctuating according to a spouse’s mood, tried to be your addicted loved one’s savior, or let your children’s choices determine your parenting success, this episode is for you!

After you listen, please share your thoughts with me.

In this episode, I’m sharing the heart behind some important shifts happening to the podcast and how God has been reshaping my understanding of Christian discernment, leadership, and direction over the past season.

Season 6 stretched me in ways I didn’t expect. Stepping outside my comfort zone, hosting conversations with people who think differently, and navigating uncomfortable topics didn’t just challenge listeners; it changed me.

What began as an experiment in dialogue became a deeper lesson in humility, critical thinking, and trusting God with the outcome.

Many Christians want to share the gospel but feel unsure where to start. In this minisode of Honest Christian Conversations, we talk about what it looks like to live out our faith in everyday life—through simple acts of love, courage, and obedience to Christ.

Sharing the good news isn’t always about having the perfect words or a dramatic moment. Often, it begins with being willing to show compassion, speak truth with gentleness, and allow God to use ordinary moments to point people toward Jesus.

In this short reflection, we explore how believers can step forward in faith and represent Christ in their daily interactions with others.

If you’ve ever wondered how to share your faith in a natural and authentic way, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I’m joined by James Moffitt, who became a Christian at seventeen and spent over ten years doing street witnessing. Through real-life conversations, mistakes, and growth, James learned what actually helps Christians share the gospel in a way that’s loving, natural, and grounded in trust—not pressure or performance.

This conversation is for anyone who has ever thought:
“I don’t know enough.”
“I’m too shy.”
“What if they reject me?”

Together, we explore how to move past fear and step into faith with humility and confidence.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• How to share the gospel without fear

• Why feeling unprepared doesn’t disqualify you from sharing your faith

• What street evangelism taught James about real human connection

• Practical tips for Christians who want to talk about Jesus naturally

• How to handle rejection with grace

• Why obedience doesn’t mean perfection

If you’ve ever wanted to talk about your faith but felt intimidated, unsure what to say, or afraid of how people might respond, this episode will encourage you and give you practical next steps to begin sharing the gospel with confidence and compassion.

In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I step outside my comfort zone and sit down for a thoughtful, honest conversation with a writer whose beliefs and background differ from my own.

What begins as a discussion about storytelling, imagination, and post-apocalyptic fiction slowly opens into deeper territory—faith journeys, doubt, theology, and what it really looks like to listen to someone you don’t fully agree with. We talk about how easy it is to label people, how assumptions can block connection, and why meaningful conversations require humility, curiosity, and a willingness to be uncomfortable.

This episode isn’t about winning an argument or changing someone’s mind. It’s about learning how to engage with people as people—without compromising your convictions, but also without shutting down dialogue. We explore what it means to wrestle with faith questions, how personal experiences shape belief, and why honest conversations can lead to greater understanding, even when agreement isn’t the outcome.

If you’ve ever struggled with judgment, felt uneasy talking with people who see faith differently, or wondered how to have respectful conversations across differences, this episode is for you. My hope is that this conversation encourages you to listen more deeply, ask better questions, and step outside your comfort zone with grace and courage.

In this minisode of Honest Christian Conversations, I reflect on how stepping into uncomfortable conversations can grow your confidence, deepen your faith, and stretch you spiritually. After a powerful and unexpected conversation with former CNN journalist John DeDakis, I share how God used discomfort to challenge my biases, expand my perspective, and remind me that we don’t have to “win” every conversation to walk in truth.

This episode is an encouragement for Christians who feel nervous about engaging with people who hold different views but sense God nudging them to step out of their comfort zone with grace and courage.

This conversation goes beyond political talking points and into something deeper: truth, discernment, and Christian responsibility in an increasingly polarized culture. We discuss the difference between journalism that informs versus media that persuades, the dangers of placing political loyalty above faith, and how Christians can seek facts without sacrificing biblical values.

John shares insights from his years in journalism, explaining how media bias develops, why trusted news sources matter, and how fear and power can distort both politics and faith. We also wrestle honestly with uncomfortable questions many believers face today:

• Can Christians disagree politically and still honor Christ?

• What happens when political leaders are treated like saviors?

• How do we stay grounded in Scripture while navigating modern media?

This episode is not about telling you how to vote — it’s about encouraging you to think critically, seek truth faithfully, and place your hope in Christ above all else.

This short episode explores why spiritual growth often comes through frustration, how to process anger toward God in a healthy way, and why honest faith means bringing your real emotions to Him—even when you’re irritated, tired, or overwhelmed. You’ll hear encouragement to release your anger without letting bitterness take root and a reminder that God can handle your honesty.

I also reflect on my powerful conversation with Weston Brandon, who walked through deep grief after losing his wife and wrestled with God through his pain. His story is a reminder that even in heartbreak and unanswered questions, growth is possible—and faith can survive seasons of anger.

If you’ve ever prayed for change and then felt overwhelmed by the process, this minisode will encourage you to see frustration as part of growth—not proof that God has abandoned you.

Scott shares his remarkable journey—from addiction to experiencing radical transformation through unconditional love. Together, Scott and I unpack what it really looks like to respond when God calls you in the moment—without fear, judgment, or pressure to “get it right.”

This conversation challenges believers to move past comfort, religious performance, and excuses, and instead reflect the heart of Christ through genuine connection, compassion, and obedience.

If you’ve ever wondered how to share your faith naturally, love people who don’t believe like you, or respond when God places someone on your heart, this episode will encourage and equip you.

Throughout January, I’m sharing short clips from past episodes of Honest Christian Conversations—moments that deeply impacted me and continue to resonate.

Today’s minisode features a 3-minute clip from Part Two of a two-part conversation centered on repentance, healing, and spiritual freedom. In this episode, I speak with Beatty Carmichael as we explore the power of strategic repentance and how confronting past sin can lead to profound healing and newfound peace, inspired by Proverbs 28:13.

Because this conversation unfolds over two episodes, I strongly encourage you to listen to Part One first, followed by the full episode of Part Two, to fully grasp the depth and heart of this message.

Whether this is your first time hearing this discussion or a reminder of a truth you’ve encountered before, I invite you to revisit both episodes prayerfully.

Sometimes God uses a familiar call to repentance to bring lasting healing and freedom.

After a season of deep reflection, conviction, and prayer, I realized I needed to grow in boldness, humility, and love—especially when it comes to engaging with people I disagree with. This episode is an honest look at what it means to let God stretch our faith, challenge our comfort zones, and call us into deeper obedience.

If you’re entering this year sensing that God is calling you to grow, change, or step into something uncomfortable, you are not alone. Let’s walk this journey together and allow Him to transform us.
