Guys! I’ve had a bit of an epiphany this last week and I’m excited to share it with you this week! It includes this diagram/map I’ve created. I’ll probably be recording as I explain this session so I can put it in the course, but the main idea is that very often when there’s an urge, it’s not always a trigger, pain or something you want to escape, often it’s actually that we want to have more engagement and participation with life itself, with others, with God, etc. Your heart is craving more than it’s currently experiencing and that won’t be helped so much by trying to become more content with less, or just seeking to understand what lies you’re believing, you need to learn the skill of participation in life, in procuring your desired experiences or values in a healthy way. So, I’ve made this 4 part map to help guide you into action from desire. I’ll go over it, but here’s the map- love y’all! You are righteous in Christ no matter what this week has been like for you, live like the most loved man on earth, because we all are!

Guys! I created our very own GPT for dealing with urges, shame, hurts and everything in between. Ask it why you're feeling an urge and it will lead you through a process. Ask it how to deal with shame, ask it what to do with the urge you have at the moment, ask away and it'll help you a ton! Think of it like reflective journaling. Still, obviously talking to me or another brother will always be better, but this will help in a pinch! https://chatgpt.com/g/g-6a1dfff108b08191a63378b3397e08b4-renegade-rescuer
