breaking the bad

S4 Ep 040 - breaking the bad :

It is so easy for us to continue acting like an addict even after we get into recovery. Often times we are still carrying around the baggage of bad behaviors that we picked up in our addiction. But if we are to grow and change, those behaviors that helped us to survive, has to be replaced with good choices, because once the use stops, action has to follow. Old ways won't open new doors. And that is exactly what Josh and Drew are digging in to on this episode with 8 ways to help the process of breaking the bad.

This episodes main scripture of focus comes from :

•Galatians 5:16 -

“I say, then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh..”

and other scripture used in the episode :

•Romans 12:2 - "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

•Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

other verses that can help or be applied to the process :

Ephesians 4:22-24 - "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."

Philippians 4:8 - "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

James 4:7-8 - "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you."

1 Peter 1:14-16 - "As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: 'Be holy, because I am holy.'"

1 Corinthians 15:33 - "Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character.'"

Colossians 3:5 - "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.”

**Remember that these verses provide guidance and encouragement, but personal transformation also requires prayer, reliance on God's strength, and seeking support from a community**
