Have you been asking yourself:
Why do I feel like I have to hold everything together?
Why can't I just let my guard down?
Will I ever feel safe again?
You'll Walk Away With...
- The one lie underneath your survival mode: "I'm on my own"
- How to catch that lie in your own "I have to" sentences
- What the very first fear in the Bible (Genesis 3) reveals about why we hide after betrayal
- Why God's question, "Where are you?", is an invitation, not an accusation
- Why the answer to fear isn't a stronger you, but a present God
- One simple practice to add to this week's Heart Check
This episode is part of The Heart Reset, a four-week series walking through the 30-Day Heart Reset Map: See Yourself, See Him, Decide, and Tend. Each week has a Monday Heart Check and a Thursday Deep Dive.
We're in Week 1: See Yourself. In Episode 72, we talked about how every survival mode is protecting you from a fear. Today we go one layer deeper, to the lie underneath that fear. I share the sentence I didn't know I believed, "Trust no one but myself," and walk through three truths: survival mode runs on the lie that you're on your own; that lie is as old as the garden; and the answer to it is a Person, not a feeling. We look at Genesis 3, where God comes looking for hiding hearts, and Hebrews 13, where He promises, "I will not, I will not, I will not… leave you or forsake you."
New here? Start with Episodes 66 and 67 on survival mode, then Episode 72, then come back to this one.
