In this insightful sermon by Joshua Watkins, we delve into the powerful theme of how we respond to life's challenges and circumstances. Josh encourages us to examine why we react the way we do and how various factors, such as upbringing, genetics, and societal expectations, shape our responses.
Drawing a relatable analogy between different approaches to cooking, he highlights how many of our reactions and behaviors are influenced by what we've been taught or conditioned to believe.

We are reminded that Jesus can transform our identities, helping us overcome self-doubt and negative influences.
