Matthew Stephen Brown is the founding and lead pastor of Sandals Church in Riverside, California. Sandals Church began in 1997 when Pastor Matt and his wife, Tammy, set out to create a church where people could be real with themselves, God, and others. From its first meeting with eight people in the Browns' living room, Sandals Church has since grown to reach more than 12,000 people each weekend at eleven locations across Southern and Central California. Around the world, Sandals Church’s digital content is viewed by close to 30,000 people every week. Today, he continues to lead Sandals Church as the primary teaching pastor. In 2016, he launched The Debrief podcast, an opportunity for people to get real answers to tough questions about the Bible and Christianity. And last year, Pastor Matt and Sandals Church launched the ROGO Foundation, which exists to help save and replant dying churches and invest in up-and-coming leaders through hands-on leadership training programs at Sandals Church. Matt is the author of A Book Called YOU: Understanding the Enneagram from a Grace-Filled, Biblical Perspective, and he is passionate about the vision of authenticity and raising up the next generation of leaders for the local church.

ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

When imposter syndrome is persistent, and almost harrassing in your mind, it's possible that you may be dealing with a spiritual problem. When that's the case, there's a similar but specific approach needed. Here's the process I describe in the episode... let's jump in!

The four steps described in the episode:

1.  Set aside time to journal/write because this allows your brain to more easily break up with wrong thinking.

2. I then ask the lord what lie/lies I am believing that are causing me to feel like an imposter.

3. I also ask him if there is anyone I need to forgive, or words I've spoken that have created this reality for me. Write them down.

4. Then I ask the Lord "what is the truth that combats that lie?" And I write down the truths that I'm to replace the lies with.

After I've repented, I bind the spirit that has been harrassing me and loose the opposite spirit. (ex: bind spirit of fear and harrassment, loose a spirit of peace, love of God and a sound mind.)

Scriptures from today:

Matthew 6:22-23 :

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"

2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV):

"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline."

Ephesians 5:13-14 :  "But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: 'Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.'"

Isaiah 26:3 (NIV):

"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NIV)

Philippians 4:13

Isaiah 41:10

Philippians 4:6-8
Ephesians 6:16

FOR YOUR JOURNALING, these are the five types of imposter syndrome:

1. **Persistent Self-Doubt**: Individuals with imposter syndrome doubt their skills, talents, and qualifications, even when objectively successful.

2. **Fear of Failure**: There is a heightened fear of making mistakes or failing, leading to perfectionistic tendencies and avoidance of new challenges.

3. **Attributing Success to External Factors**: People with imposter syndrome often attribute their achievements to luck, help from others, or being in the right place at the right time, discounting their own contributions.

4. **Difficulty Accepting Praise**: Individuals may feel uncomfortable or undeserving of praise and recognition, dismissing positive feedback as insincere or misguided.

5. **Constant Striving for Perfection**: There is a relentless pursuit of perfection and high standards, accompanied by a fear of being exposed as inadequate if these standards are not met.

ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

Most people think of Christianity as a book of rules you have to keep, judgemental people and an angry God and the legalism that keeps many miserable in their faith. However, that's where GRACE steps in.

If you've been a Christian for very long, you're familiar with the concept of Grace... but are you? We all know the song "amazing grace"... but many times these words can sound and feel like just... well, words!

Grace is a concept not often taught or explained well, and when my husband, Stephen Samuel, taught this message at church a few weeks ago, I said "Yep, that's the best message I've EVER heard on Grace and it makes sense why the gospel is GOOD NEWS when you put it this way!" That's when I decided this needed to be an episode on my show. So, sit back, and enjoy listening to the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel of Jesus in a way you've never heard it. A way that makes sin problems seem small, and the grace of God seem unfair in your favor.

ABOUT STEPHEN:

Stephen Samuel is husband of yours Truly, Jen, the host of this podcast, and he is known as one of the best teachers around. He has a knack for making scripture come alive and concepts more easily understood. He carries a Doctorate in Theology, has been in ministry as a Pastor's kid since childhood, and preaching since he was 16 after a radical encounter with the Lord. He is passionate about training people to have intimate relationships with the Lord and making disciples that do the same (make more disciples!). He and Jen have four boys together and run Free Life missions, their non-profit for missions!

ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

There's so much talk in today's culture of "girl you got this!" "girl, you CAN" and other messaging of empowerment and motivation, and on the one hand, it's wonderful, it's good and we all need a pep talk from time to time. But there's also. a culture of "self love" which has evolved into self worship. In today's episode Author Becky Kiser shares how the premise of her book is meant to empower women, yet also teach them that their weaknesses are indeed their super power, and that when they can't GOD CAN. The whole reason we need Jesus is because WE CAN'T in so many ways... and that's ok. We also address:
