Episode 4 of the “Can’t Stay Like This” Lent series leading to Easter
What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t your circumstances… but the story you keep telling yourself about them?
In Step 4 of Pastor James’ Can’t Stay Like This series, we uncover how the narratives in our minds shape the direction of our lives. God doesn’t just change your behavior — He renews your mind and rewrites your story with truth.
Because if the story doesn’t change… the outcome won’t either.
Episode Summary
Every person lives out of a story — not just the facts of what happened, but the meaning we assign to those moments. In Scripture, the Israelites quickly forgot God’s faithfulness and began believing a false narrative about their situation. The facts didn’t change — but their story did.
In this devotional episode, we explore how lies take root in our thinking, how the enemy works through distorted thoughts, and how God uses truth to renew our minds and lead us into freedom.
Real transformation happens when we stop believing what feels true… and start believing what God says is true.
