Have you ever noticed how quickly a single lie can grow into a stronghold in your heart—shaping how you see yourself, your marriage, and even your walk with God? In today’s episode, I share a life-changing process for tearing down lies and rebuilding on God’s truth.

I’ll walk you through a powerful metaphor using Jenga blocks, the reflecting pool of identity, and even the roots of a tree. You’ll learn how false identities form, how the enemy keeps us bound with lies, and how Jesus gives us a new identity that sets us free. This is the foundation of a strong marriage—because the fruit in your relationships always comes from the roots of what you believe about yourself.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why “white-knuckling” behavior change never works (and what does)

• The difference between perceived identity, portrayed identity, and your true identity in Christ

• How lies create strongholds—and how to replace them with God’s truth

• Why asking “Has Jesus ever said this about me?” changes everything

• Practical ways to fill the space left by lies with the Holy Spirit and God’s Word

• How to recognize the difference between the enemy’s condemning voice and Jesus’ gentle, life-giving voice

Scriptures Mentioned:

• Proverbs 23:7 — “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”

• Proverbs 27:19 — “As a face is reflected in the water, so the heart reflects the real person.”

• Matthew 7 — Building on the rock vs. the sand
