“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” ~ John 10:10

“Hope knows that if great trials are avoided great deeds remain undone and the possibility of growth into greatness of soul is aborted.” – Brennan Manning.

These next couple weeks we want to focus on more than just the body… we want to focus on the things that hold most of us back from something great in our lives.  Now we don’t mean “something great” as being a big fancy home, an expensive car, etc.  We mean living a life that does not accept the lies we tell ourselves such as, “I am not good enough… I am not attractive enough… I am not strong enough… I am not smart enough…” and many many other lies we believe, to live a life to it’s full potential.  The sad thing is, most of these come from within our own mind. That is where we face the majority of our true battles in life.

Think about the BIG things that could be accomplished and the PERSON we would become if we believed NONE of the lies we tell ourselves and the world tells us and we START believing EVERYTHING God tells us!  Imagine!

When the world tells us… “Nobody loves you! You’re not worthy of love!” God tells us that He loved YOU so much that He sent Jesus to die for YOU! ~ John 3:16

But MOST of the time it’s not the voices of the WORLD that get us… it’s the voice between our ears… the one we CAN’T ESCAPE because we LIVE WITH IT everyday.

When you begin to believe the lies that “I’m ugly or not attractive enough…” God says that HE doesn’t look at your outward appearance, that’s not important… what’s important is what’s in your HEART. ~ 1 Samuel 16:7

Over the next few weeks, we want to talk about the defeating the lies of the world with the promises of God.  So, stay tuned with us and let’s go on an adventure together!

In Him,

Coach Bryan
