Dangerous Assumptions // Cheat Code // Ryan Kramer
from Wave 94 · host Wave 94
We all want "next time" to look different than "last time," yet we find ourselves repeating the same mistakes in our finances, our marriages, and our parenting. We hope that a new year or a spiritual "mountain top" moment will fix everything, but true transformation isn't found in a feeling—it’s found in a new way of thinking. Using the life of the Apostle Paul as a roadmap, Pastor Ryan Kramer breaks down the dangerous assumptions that sabotage our growth and offers a "cheat code" for lasting change. -- The Common Thread: Realizing that we are the recurring factor in our own cycles of regret is the first step toward freedom. -- Encounter vs. Transformation: A powerful moment with God can redirect your life, but only a change in your thinking can transform it. -- The Arabia Season: Why Paul spent three years in "reprogramming" before stepping into his calling, and why you might need to slow down to move forward. -- The Experience Fallacy: Why simply "going through" a trial doesn't make you wiser unless you take the time to evaluate it with God. -- The Knowledge Gap: Knowing better is not the same as doing better; transformation requires a heart-level shift in our priorities. -- The Time Pressure Trap: Why rushing into decisions because "time is running out" almost always leads to the wrong destination. Scriptures for Further Study -- Acts 8:1-3 -- Acts 9:1-6 -- Romans 12:2 -- Galatians 1:15-18 -- Romans 8:28 +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.
