Are you unknowingly opening a door that leads to temptation, for you or for someone else? In this special series of 'Average Joe' conversations, Jim Ramos sits down with Mike Stepper to tackle a subtle but powerful issue: how you give gifts matters more than you think. You never truly know where someone of the opposite sex is emotionally or relationally and a personal gift given \"from you\" alone can create connection, confusion, or even temptation. We break down a simple but critical shift: send gifts from \"us,\" not \"me.\" Small change. Big protection. Jim's newest book, Guardrails: Ten Boundaries for an Unbreakable Marriage will be releasing in April 2026.
