Show Notes: https://gfischool.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/taking_ground.pdf

In this podcast, Mark and John define what it means to take back ground from the enemy. Because of strongholds in our lives, ground related to non-surrender and unbelief must be "taken" back. Areas of non-surrendered discussed include anger, hatred, pride, rebellion, and unforgiveness. Areas of unbelief discussed include idolatry, guilt, self-pity, fear, and worry. This episode is part 2 of episode 59, which speaks to freedom from strongholds.

Notes for Podcast: https://gracenotebook.com/paradigm-shift/

In this episode, Mark and Dr. John discuss the need for a paradigm shift. The guys define and discuss different paradigm shifts that have changed the way we think and live. People need a grace-awakening! Shifts discussed include:

• Self-effort shifts to empowerment by the Holy Spirit.
• Feelings-based identity shifts to a Christ-centered identity.
• Performance-based acceptance shifts to grace-based acceptance.
• Doing in order to be shifts to being in order to do.
• Self-worth based on worldly values shifts to self-worth based on Biblical values.

Other points of discussion include holiness, ministry, and the fact that Christ is Savior, Lord, and Life. Dr. Woodward discusses how biblical knowledge is not the same as biblical insight.

"We try harder is fatal in the Christian life. We do not live the Christ-life by trying, but rather by trusting." Stephen Olford
