How You Can Release Old Beliefs to Move Forward

What’s in YOUR backpack?

Friend, sometimes the thing keeping us stuck isn’t what happened to us.

It’s what we came to believe about ourselves because it happened.

• A disappointment becomes I’m a failure.
• Rejection becomes I’m not lovable.
• Comparison becomes I’ll never measure up.
• Regret becomes If only I had done things differently…

And before we know it, we’re carrying those beliefs into every new season God leads us toward.

In this episode of Seeking Happy, Finding Joy, we’re opening up that backpack and taking a look at what’s really inside.

We’ll talk about:

• How experiences, wounds, regret and other people’s words can become beliefs we carry for years
• Why some of those “rocks” actually feel protective – even when they weigh us down
• Three questions to help you uncover what a belief may be costing you
• The difference between what happened to you and what you decided it meant about you
• Why Jesus invites us to stop doing all the heavy pulling ourselves
• How to begin bringing the stories you’ve believed into the light of God’s truth

You don’t have to unpack the whole backpack today.

But maybe it’s time to look inside.
