Episode 54 - Truth

After we become aware of our internal monologue and the things we are speaking to ourselves, we need to consider if the messages are true.  In order to do so, we have to have a measuring stick by which to evaluate truth.  As Christ-followers, we use Scripture as our foundation for truth.  Join Brooklyn and Karen as they chat about truth and how we fill our minds with the truth.

As always, we encourage you to go deeper into this discussion with a friend or small group.  Here are some questions to facilitate that discussion:

1. Do you accept the Bible as God’s Word and therefore totally true? If not, why not? If so, how did you come to this belief? (John 14:6, John 8:31-32, 2 Timothy 3:14-17)
2. Give an example of something you have thought (about yourself, life, whatever) that actually isn’t true when you hold it up to Scripture.
3. Give an example of something that you have felt, that isn’t actually true.
4. Give an example of something that someone has said, that you maybe believed, but isn’t actually true.
5. Do you have any verses memorized? How do those verses help you?
6. How does meditating on Scripture make us more resilient?
7. Have you ever been able to recognize a lie in your thoughts and replace it with the truth?  Can you share about that experience?
8. Identify one lie you have been believing.  Work together to find a truth in Scripture that speaks to that lie.  Work on memorizing that verse this week.
