Wrestling with Innate, Unchangeable flaws: The Keturah Method

Listen Later

Our character traits fall into three categories:

  1. The ones that are easily changeable with minimal effort.
  2. The ones that can be changed, but it requires much more intense and concerted effort because they are much more deeply rooted.
  3. The character flaws that are not changeable; they are hardwired and fixed in place.

    4. What do we do about those unchangeable flaws? Is there a method to maneuver around them? Are we supposed to come to terms with them? Are we condemned to suffer as a result of them? Our pursuit is perfection. And perfection is even possible notwithstanding very unpleasant and very unchangeable flaws. One method was pioneered by a brilliant and righteous woman named Keturah.
