A Few More Thoughts on Self-Advocacy, Being Enough, Relative Truth, and Finding the LightThe world is screaming at us things like:* “Live YOUR truth!” * “You ARE ENOUGH!” * “Everyone needs to respect YOUR identity, and YOUR rights!”The problem is, the more we listen to these ideas, the more tired and weak and dry our lives seem to become. There has to be a better way. There is. This quiet time explores the path forward out of the dryness and darkness of these lies, and will help you find the light again. Scriptures:But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. II Corinthians 12:9-10 NIVWhen Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”John 8:12 NIVI pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, Ephesians 1:18-20 NIVMusic by Brenton Brown(Music shared on The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast is authorized under BMI license #61063253 and ASCAP license #400010513 ) This is a public episode.

It’s Self-Brain Surgery Saturday!Today, we learn a brand-new operation called Ablate Self-Advocacy. This will help you reject the idea that you have to fight for yourself amidst life’s troubles, and embrace the truth that we have a perfect advocate, the Yes to every promise God has made, to help us. If you’re tired of being tired, tired of thinking life is always so hard, tired of feeling like you have to fight and claw for everything in your life, this is the operation you need. Scripture: 2 Corinthians chapter 1For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

Tommy Walker’s songs are sung in churches all over the world every weekI asked Tommy to talk about how gratitude leads to worship, and worship leads to hope. We had a wonderful conversation that I think will be a blessing to you.Scripture: Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness[a] be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.Philippians 4:6-8 ESVTommy Walker Ministries on InstagramMusic by Tommy Walker(Music shared on The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast is authorized under BMI license #61063253 and ASCAP license #400010513 ) This is a public episode.
