Before you can trade a lie for truth, you have to know what you actually believe, and where you got it.
This step isn’t about deciding what’s true yet. That comes in Step 2.3. Right now you’re just taking inventory: writing down what you believe about God and where those beliefs came from. Some of what you find will already be true. Some will be worth a second look. Both are useful to know.

Part One
Where your beliefs about God came from
Nobody arrives at their view of God from nowhere. It came from somewhere: a parent, a pastor, a church, a hard season, a book, a feeling. Let’s find the source.
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Proverbs 4:23
Part Two
What you were taught, spoken and unspoken
Some beliefs were said out loud. Others you picked up without anyone meaning to teach them. Tap anything below that sounds familiar, whether it was spoken to you directly or just something you absorbed.
Part Three
Where the strain comes from
Look back over what you just wrote. Somewhere in there is the belief that’s costing you the most peace.

What you’re noticing
Remember
You didn’t invent these beliefs out of nowhere, and naming them isn’t betrayal of who taught you. It’s just the first honest look. This whole study exists to prove one thing: God is for you, not against you. He is good, and He has always been good.
You just did the hardest part, telling the truth about what you actually believe. That’s not disloyalty. That’s the beginning of knowing Him for real. Ash

Hi, I'm Ash. Mom of two, wife, and completely obsessed with Jesus. I walked away from God after watching my son suffer. At 2am in my son's hospital bed years later, I went to God out of desperation and He showed me the truth of who He is. Now, I am sharing that truth with you.
