There’s a trap that’s been set—and it’s not a matter of if you’ll encounter it, but when. Temptation. Lies. Deceit. Sin wants a place in your life. And most people don’t see it until it’s too late. But what if you could spot the pattern before it starts? What if you had a strategy to win the battles that matter most?

In this five-week series through the book of James, we’re uncovering the wisdom to avoid the traps that sabotage our lives. Because smart people live differently:

• They see the trap and step around it.

• They don’t fight alone—they lean into community and confession.

• They win the mind game—because they know it all starts with their thinking.

• They pick the right fight—and it’s not with others, it’s with pride and self.

• And they do something—because information without application is useless.

This isn’t about being the smartest person in the room. It’s about choosing wisdom before it’s too late. It’s time to stop falling into the same traps. It’s time to Get Smart.
