Getting to the Bottom
Beneath every visible struggle — the fruit — lies an unseen root: a lie we've come to believe about ourselves, others, or God. No amount of willpower reaches that deep. But the gospel can.
This is a short, honest walk from the fruit to its root — and from the lie to the truth of Christ. Move at your own pace.
Where do you feel most bound today?
Choose the struggle that's most present right now. This is the visible fruit — the place we'll trace back to its root. If yours isn't here, choose “Something else.”
Put words to it.
Name what you're wrestling with in your own words. There's no wrong answer — honesty is the first step toward freedom.
What's underneath?
Beneath the surface, a lie is often at work. Read slowly. Which of these rings most true to what you're believing right now?
Bring it into the light.
Take one real step.
Truth becomes freedom as it moves from head to heart to hands. You don't have to do all of these — begin with one.
