004 I Replaced My Real Life with a Fantasy
Intro
This podcast was born out of a season that God sent me through where he revealed to me that I was trying to fulfill my healthy, God-given desires with a fantasy. My vice is video games. What's yours?
About a year ago, I decided to sell my personal gaming console, so I could remove that as a temptation to replace God with a fantasy. As Matthew 5:30 says, "if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell."
What is holding you back from living in the Spirit and fulfilling your God-given purpose? Do you need to cut it off?
Homework
Ask God to reveal to you the ways in which you are replacing your real life with a fantasy. Write down what he says!

Summary of the movie Ready Player One on IMDb (source)
"In the year 2045, the real world is a harsh place. The only time Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) truly feels alive is when he escapes to the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe where most of humanity spends their days. In the OASIS, you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone--the only limits are your own imagination."
Link to the scene in Inception I referred to: video clip (the line I referred to is around the 1:10 mark)
"The dream has become their reality. Who are you to say otherwise?"
