Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of the Daily Living for Christ podcast! Today, we take a deep dive into Genesis 3, exploring how the false self emerged in the garden and how it continues to shape our lives today.
Before the fall, Adam and Eve lived in perfect union with God—fully known, fully loved, and free from fear. But with the serpent’s temptation came a shift—the introduction of power, control, and self-rule that led humanity away from divine trust and into self-protection. This moment gave birth to the false self, a survival mechanism rooted in insecurity, fear, and the pursuit of identity outside of God.
In this episode, we’ll uncover:
✅ How Genesis 3 reveals the roots of the false self and humanity’s struggle with control and independence from God.
✅ Why the false self isn’t inherently evil but is a byproduct of living outside God’s will.
✅ The deep connection between fear, rejection, and the need for approval in shaping our false identities.
✅ How material possessions, achievements, and self-sufficiency deceive us into feeling secure.
✅ Practical steps to recognize the false self and shift toward wholeness and trust in God.
Donald also introduces the Saboteur Assessment, (click the link to take the free assessment) a powerful tool to help uncover where the false self is operating in your life and how to begin the journey back to living in wholeness with God.
