What Are You Telling Yourself? | Challenge Accepted | Bryant Golden

In this episode, we dive deep into the importance of narratives in our lives and how they shape our decisions and relationships. Join us as we explore the concept of self-talk and the stories we tell ourselves, whether they stem from our upbringing, societal influences, or personal experiences. We discuss the challenge of identifying and replacing flawed narratives that can undermine our future and lead to regret. Drawing from the teachings of the Apostle Paul, we emphasize the need to confront our assumptions and align our thoughts with the values of Jesus. Key topics include: The significance of community and group leadership within our church The power of self-imposed narratives and their impact on our lives Practical steps to pay attention to the narratives we embrace How to demolish strongholds that conflict with the teachings of Jesus Whether you're a long-time follower of Jesus or just exploring your faith, this episode encourages you to reflect on your internal narratives and consider how they influence your life choices. Read along with our chosen scripture: 2 Corinthians 10:3–6; John 14:8–9; 9:5; 3:16; Matthew 7:24; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 Idea: Pay attention to your narratives. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual. Our Sunday worship service is approximately a 75-minute experience designed to introduce people to the message of Jesus and equip believers to live their lives in response to the Gospel while their kids enjoy one of our safe children's environments. Centerpoint is designed to meet you wherever you are on the journey whether you are just checking out the "church thing" or you are a committed Christ follower. Centerpoint is a casual environment that combines today's music with creative media and relevant teaching. We hope you will visit us at Centerpoint Church regardless of what your past church experience has looked like.
