17 Lies You Didn't Know You Believed (And What's Actually True) - with Erica Gwynn

Ever notice how all those "motivational" messages on social media somehow make you feel worse about yourself? In this conversation with Erica Gwynn (author of "That's Just Not True"), we're talking about the 17 lies you're probably believing without even realizing it, including popular phrases like "I can do anything," "I am enough," and "If I'm not hustling, I'm lazy." Erica breaks down why these half-truths (which are still whole lies) are crushing you with pressure to be everything for everyone, and what God's actual truth says instead. We talk about how to recognize when you're believing a lie, why "positive thinking" can actually be harmful, the difference between what you logically know and what your heart believes, and how to start replacing lies with truth (spoiler: it's a process, not a quick fix). This episode is for you if: • You're exhausted from trying to "do it all" and never feeling like enough. • Motivational messages make you feel worse instead of better. • You struggle with negative thought patterns but don't know how to break free. • You can't tell if thoughts in your head are truth or lies. • You're overwhelmed by the pressure to be perfect at everything. • You believe "I am enough" but still feel inadequate. • You're hustling constantly and feel guilty when you rest. Erica gives practical guidance on how to spot lies (hint: verbal acrobatics are a red flag), why acknowledging your limits isn't failure, and the scientific reason rest isn't optional. Plus, why taking ownership of things that aren't yours to own (being limitless, being enough) actually sets you up to fail. Remember: And if not, He is still good. God's goodness isn't conditional on your circumstances—or your performance. 📖 RESOURCE MENTIONED: Erica's book: "That's Just Not True: How to Replace the Lies You Didn't Know You Believed with God's Unchanging Truth" (affiliate) 🔗 CONNECT WITH ERICA: Website: Support the show
