A belief may have influenced your life for many years without being permanently true. Once we identify a limiting belief, we can begin asking: Where did this belief come from? Is it always true? What evidence challenges it? And does it agree with the character of God and the truth found in Scripture? In the final teaching of the Transformation Series, we explore how limiting beliefs can begin to be challenged and replaced with healthier beliefs grounded in biblical truth.

How can you recognise a belief you may not even realise you are carrying? One place to begin is by looking at repeated patterns and strong emotional reactions. Why does criticism sometimes feel like rejection? Why can conflict immediately trigger defensiveness or withdrawal? Why can certain situations make us feel that we are not good enough?

Some of the beliefs we carry today may have begun during powerful experiences from our past. Something happens—and consciously or unconsciously—we form a conclusion about ourselves, other people, life or even God. Over time, that conclusion can begin to feel like a fact.
