🛤️ Narrative Walk-Through

Carrie opens with a bold declaration: every day we're being fed poison—through lies from the enemy, from others, and even from ourselves. Drawing from Philippians 4:8, she shows how we can intentionally reject these toxic thoughts by fixing our minds on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. Using her own vulnerable example, she walks through a simple but powerful four-step process to identify the lie, find the antidote, apply it, and learn to avoid the trap in the future. With both humor and Holy Spirit fire, Carrie reminds us that transformation doesn't happen passively—it happens with intentional, repeated injections of truth.
