The Lies We Tell Ourselves

Many of the thoughts that run through our minds feel personal, convincing, and even true — but not every thought we have actually comes from God… or even from ourselves.In this episode, we talk about the lies we tell ourselves and how easily those lies can shape the way we see our identity, our worth, and our future.Sometimes the enemy plants thoughts meant to isolate us, discourage us, and convince us that we are not enough. But God’s voice does not speak in accusation, shame, or condemnation.We explore how bringing our thoughts into the light — speaking them out loud and sharing them with trusted people — can reveal the root of those lies and create space for healing and freedom.We also discuss: • Why our thoughts are not always our own • The spiritual danger of isolation • How perfectionism and “giving up” are often two sides of the same lie • The fear that drives many of the accusations we believe about ourselves • Why freedom is found in balance, not extremes • The importance of community when our thoughts feel overwhelmingWhen we believe the lie that we are not enough, we either exhaust ourselves trying to prove our worth… or give up altogether.But neither leads to freedom.Because the truth is this: God does not speak to His children in lies.🎙 The Open Doors Podcast Faith.
