Ep. 541 Webinar: How to Identify Ruling Motives of the Heart

Shows Main Idea – All of our sin patterns are rooted in our functional theology, at the level of our hearts, rather than in the behavioral patterns of our perceived problems. The process of change begins when you can determine the actual ruling motive of the heart. Our hearts generate our problems, so identifying the war within brings us to the starting place in the discipleship/change process.
