You started the year with good intentions, but they were short-lived. Now more than halfway through 2023, all of your goals, resolutions, and \\u201cI\\u2019ll do betters\\u201d have fallen by the wayside. Fortunately, author Drew Dyck is here to help. He\\u2019s consulted both the Bible and brain science to find out why self-control is so hard, but also how we can strategically build the muscle to help us form good habits that will go the distance. In part one of our conversation, Drew extols the virtues of self-control, explains why willpower isn\\u2019t enough by itself, and how a conversation with his wife helped him take some personal inventory. \\xa0
