Examining the Roots

Southern Soul Chats

Today we are chatting with our panel about the biblical concept of "flesh" and how it shapes our identities and behaviors. We explore the idea that our environments and experiences from birth mold us in unique ways, influenced by both spiritual and psychological factors. We'll discuss the insights of theorists who believed that our experiences significantly impact our development and examine biblical examples of patterns passed down through family lines. Join us as Debbie and Leah return as panel members to help unravel these profound truths and provide practical insights for understanding and overcoming the influence of the flesh in our lives.

Biblical Rooting:

Romans 8:4-6

4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
