Discover Real Healing by Facing Your World, Your Humanity, and Yourself
Luke Laffin believes that past hurts, destructive mindsets, and limiting beliefs may be keeping you from the best version of yourself. He returns to the Eternal Leadership Podcast to talk about his new book Go Face Yourself, which deals with this important topic.
The first part of the book focuses on shifting our paradigm from the “trenches” to get above the battlefield and to see the ultimate purpose that God has in the specific events of our lives. He reiterated that we will all go through numerous struggles, and they will be obstacles if we don’t see them from an eternal perspective.
What is it about this situation that the Lord is using to advance something that He wants to do in me? – the question Luke Laffin asks to help people battle the victim mentality
Luke shared the two key truths that we need to understand in order to process the information of what we’re going through in this world. The first one is: God loves you. And number two: He really is committed to a process in you. There is an outcome that he is working towards.
Son, you’re not even capable of making a mess so big that I can’t clean it up. – a small voice that whispered to Luke Laffin after he had committed a huge mistake
One of Luke’s passions is to help people cooperate with the process. He listed nine different benefits we can gain from the trials and hardships we encounter in our lives. He uses mental shifts to take his eyes off of the process and he puts them on the benefit. It’s a pretty neat trick that you’ll learn when you listen to him talk about it on this episode.
The end result is going to be much better than the temporary comfort that I feel like I need right now. – Luke Laffin
