Rapha Ranch Ministries

We often use an activity called Temptation Alley in our sessions. Basically, we make a path with poles and place various temptations (like flakes of hay or buckets of grain) along or near the path and ask the student(s) to lead the horse through the path without stopping at any of the temptations.

It can be a tough activity! Of course, this is not a "pass/fail" situation. The whole point is to learn about how temptations can derail us, and gain skills to keep us laser focused on Christ and His leadership.

Notice here that Miss Julia is helping our student lead Zeb through the alley. She's allowing the student to narrate and lead while providing support. Bearing each other's burdens (Galatians 6:2) is an excellent technique to overcome temptations.

What do you think? How do you overcome the traps that try to steal our attention away from the Lord?
