  • Resumen

  • The foundational truth that will be the theme throughout this course of study, is found in Pauls's letter to the Christians in Rome, in the first century. The objective of this course will be to help followers of Jesus, like myself, who struggle with various aspects of acceptance, understand the mechanics and dynamics of what's going on. We will take a thorough look at the thought processes involved, manifestations of its reality, evidence, and consequences. I want this to be practical in helping you formulate the right thought process for overcoming the ideas, squatting in your mind, taking control, and ruining your potential. The followers of Jesus were given a direct command by the Apostle Paul, (Romans 12:2) "to renew their minds." The same stand true for 21st-century followers of Jesus. This is because as with the sin nature, though we follow Christ, there is a staggering amount of the old way of thought permeating our minds and influencing our practice. It keeps us restrained and captive to poor practices. In other words, we are held back from truly knowing what God is doing in our lives, and realizing the opportunity that we have through Him. Too many followers see their faith still as something that restrains them from contentment, or the enjoyment of life. Instead of seeing our faith as an opportunity to enjoy the best of what God created us for, we see it still as a set of rules and restrictions that limit our creativity or self-expression. We feel restrained by God, rather than free. This is because the old way of thinking has never been rooted out of our lives. If we are honest about this, we still want to hold onto these old ideas. We have to understand though that ideas have consequences. The ideas we live by now, regardless of what we say we believe, are made evident by the behaviors we exhibit. This is because belief determines priority and ultimately our behavior. In other words, our habits are our identity. For so long, acceptance was my identity. Even though I wanted so badly to know God, and enjoy my relationship with him - in a real and practical way might I add - I still held on to my need to be accepted by those around me. in this, I was really revealing my true belief, that ultimately I thought that if I could feel that sense of acceptance if I could experience validation from those I respected, I would be happy. Letting go of this flawed source code took work to root out; I struggled, failed, and even experienced heartache and loss... but through the process, I've found a new purpose. Over the past few years, as a father and also professional trainer, I spend a lot of my time helping and teaching people various things that help them in their work, and also in their personal lives. I spend a great deal of time and thought nurturing these ideas in my children and pushing them to live this new source code. The battle for priority and purpose in people's lives seems to always come into conversations I have with people. Especially when it comes to relationships and the need for acceptance. It's a tough issue for young people, but it is even tougher for guys my age. This is one of the many reasons why I am thankful for my experiences. They have provided me with the connections that are necessary to help other people like myself overcome the same thing. I am not ashamed of the stories and experiences I share in these podcasts. I wear them as a badge of honor, to be counted worthy to endure and struggle with the truth to help others, in the same way, is my purpose. These things are part of my identity now. They are those things God uses to remediate the garbage in my thought process every day. Romans 5 is a huge piece of my source code for handling this issue... I'm excited to share and I hope that you will benefit from this study. Thank you for listening. Feel free to contact me and share feedback. God bless!Romans 5:1-5Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access (been accepted) by faith into this grace in which we stand, (have confidence) and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.For the complete outline of the show notes... visit the website and download the free pdf. Links:Squatters in North Carolina have rights facts sheet
