Reclaiming Power: The Real Story of Satan and Self-Mastery
We are the satans on the planet most of the time, and we give this invisible entity all the power in our mind and, as a result, we feel powerless when, if we can really see what's going on, the ability to change shows up in a massive, massive way.
Did you know Satan is hardly mentioned in the Old Testament and always as a person, not an invisible force? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Alive and Free', Bob Gardner dives into the history of Satan and its surprising implications for addiction and temptation. Bob takes listeners on a journey through ancient texts and modern beliefs, showing how the idea of Satan has evolved and how it affects our daily lives.
The episode suggests that believing in an external evil robs us of our power to change. Instead, Bob argues, we are our own worst enemies, and understanding this can help us overcome our compulsions and addictive behaviors. From practical tips like the “10-Minute Rule” for managing stress to deeper insights into how our beliefs shape our actions, this episode offers a fresh perspective on self-mastery.
Bob's engaging storytelling and relatable anecdotes make complex ideas accessible, offering listeners practical strategies to regain control over their lives. Whether you're struggling with addiction, anxiety, or just curious about the origins of Satan, this episode promises to leave you with a new understanding of personal power and freedom.
