Eric Thomas: Stop Talking Yourself Out of Your Own Life | What God Removes Before He Rebuilds

from APOC Ministry · host Eric Thomas Ph.D

You keep praying for change. But the thing standing between you and the life God promised you isn't your past, your enemies, or your circumstances. It's the words coming out of your own mouth. In this message from the 52 Day Challenge, Eric Thomas breaks down what God removes before He rebuilds your life — and why the demolition has to come before the construction. You can't build a new life on yesterday's foundation. Before God adds, He subtracts. Before He builds, He demolishes. This is Week 1: DEMO. The deliberate removal of everything that's been tearing you down — starting with how you talk about yourself. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT ERIC THOMAS — ET THE HIP HOP PREACHER Eric Thomas, PhD, is a world-renowned speaker, author, and educator known globally as "ET The Hip Hop Preacher." From a high school dropout sleeping in abandoned buildings to a motivational voice reaching hundreds of millions worldwide, his story is proof of the transformation he preaches. Alongside his wife Dede Thomas, he leads A Place of Change Ministry as lead pastor, bringing the same fire that fills stadiums to the local church every week.

Whole Faith Marcus & Jessa Myer Welcome to The Whole Faith Podcast, where we go deep into the things of God. We're your hosts, Marcus and Jessa Myer - a husband-and-wife team passionate about pursuing and telling the Truth. The more we study Scripture, the more we experience the ever-growing joy and pleasure found only in Jesus. We’ve been doing ministry together for the past 15 years, and one thing we’ve seen over and over again is that so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are desperately hungry for a deeper teaching of God’s Word. In each episode, we explore theology, doctrine, and practical wisdom that every believer should have the confidence to pursue. Join us as we uncover essential truths from Scripture and tackle difficult, sometimes controversial questions to provide you with biblical answers. Where the Enemy wants to keep the Church in a place of shallow faith and theological insecurity, our hope is that these conversations will equip you with boldness and assurance! Now, let’s grow deeper together Word Online: Series 7 - The Transfiguration & the end of the Galilean ministry Word Online There is a dramatic change in the life of Jesus as this point. He takes his disciples away for a private time together which leads to the amazing event of the Transfiguration. This is a turning point. The Galilean ministry is at an end. Jesus is going to leave Galilee and head south towards Jerusalem for the final and much shorter part of his ministry which will lead ultimately to his death and resurrection.
