In Episode 2 of Made Simple \u2013 Season 2, Pastor Kenny and Caleb tackle one of the most overlooked battles Christians face: strongholds and self-sabotage. Why do we keep falling into the same patterns? Why do we talk ourselves out of God's promises? Why do fear, shame, guilt, anxiety, pride, and past failures seem to have such a grip on our lives\u2014even after we've given our hearts to Christ? Together, they unpack what the Bible really says about spiritual strongholds, how the enemy uses lies to shape our thinking, and how those lies often become the very chains that keep us from walking in freedom. In this episode, you'll discover:  What a biblical stronghold actually is. How self-sabotage keeps us from God's best. The difference between conviction and condemnation. How to identify the lies you've believed for years.  Practical, biblical steps to tear down strongholds and renew your mind. How to begin living in the victory Christ has already won.  If you've ever felt like you're your own worst enemy, this conversation is for you. Freedom doesn't begin by changing your circumstances\u2014it begins by changing what you believe. &quot;For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh... casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God...&quot; \u2014 2 Corinthians 10:3\u20135 \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f Made Simple is the podcast where we take today's difficult questions and God's Word and make them simple, practical, and life-changing. \ud83d\udc4d If this episode encourages you, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Share it with someone who needs to break free from the lies that have held them captive.
