Trade a Lie for a Truth

heidileeanderson

Did God *really* say He’d use all things for His glory + your good? Doesn’t look that good to me... Did He *really* say peace is possible? I wouldn’t hold your breath... Did God *really* say He’d never leave you? Well then... where is He? And did God *really* say He’d give you rest? Because (no offense) you look pretty tired + defeated to me... Bottom line: Our enemy is out to kill our peace, destroy our faith, and steal our hope. How? By planting lies in our minds in hopes we take the bait. Good news for us though: Jesus came to set us free, and ”if we abide in His Word, we’ll know the truth + the truth will set us free” (John 8:32).This is the show for you if you’re ready to pick up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and stand firm in the truth, defusing every fiery dart and seizing that abundant life Jesus always gives.

I Can Do It All vs. I Can’t (and Shouldn’t) Do It All with Heidi Lee Anderson

I Can Do It All vs. I Can’t (and Shouldn’t) Do It All with Heidi Lee Anderson
Ever tried juggling all the things? Work, mom life, extracurricular activities? Clean house, toned body, healthy meals? Volunteering at church, keeping up with the yard, staying on top of emails, meeting up with friends, and organizing the toys? Not to mention, reading your Bible and being a loving, attentive wife? Join me as I pull back the curtain of my life and share a behind-the-scenes look into what God is actively teaching me and I believe has for me in this next season ahead. While it’s tempting to want to do it all, the truth is freeing: we are limited human beings with time constraints and physical limitations, so we can’t do it all—and even better… we shouldn’t do it all. In the end, we can trade that crippling lie (you can do it all) for the truth: There are some things in this season that need our focus, so there are some things in this season we can step away from. Sit in Ecclesiastes 3 with me, and together, let’s ask God and find out for ourselves what should be our top priority in this current season of life.   Let's connect! 🙏 Join my Bible study: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/the-good-news-co 💻All my resources: https://heidileeandersonministries.com 📲 Let's be friends on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 📖My book, P.S.

Have you ever heard someone say, "God won't give you more than you can handle"? But then life happens, and you do face more than you can handle. There's a diagnosis that's far bigger than you.

Elle Cardell, founder of Delight of Delight, is going to share more about her story and help us trade this lie for the freeing truth.

All Religions Point to the Same God vs. There's Only One True God, with Pastor Jason Carlson
A Jehovah’s Witness knocks at the door, reciting Bible verses. A Mormon posts on social media, talking about the grace of God and following Jesus. A Muslim prays… do all religions really lead to the same God? And what about atheists and the God they disbelieve in?   Join me as I interview one of the nation’s leading apologists, Pastor Jason Carlson, as he tackles the lie, “All religions point to the same God.” Not only will we learn about the key polar differences in each religion, but we’ll also get valuable conversation tips as we interact with nonbelievers and hear about the most convincing piece of evidence that the God of Christianity is the one true God.   In the end, let’s trade this lie for the truth: Jesus is God, and He’s the only Way, the Truth, and the Life.   Let's connect! 🙏 Join my Bible study: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/the-good-news-co 💻All my resources: https://heidileeandersonministries.com 📲 Let's be friends on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 📖My book, P.S.

Conflict is Always Warring vs. Conflict Can be Peaceful, with Donna Jones
Conflict and peace... they seem like polar opposites, right? You certainly can’t have one with the other… Or can you? Join me as I interview Donna Jones, author of Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life, as we open up the Bible, hear what God has to say on the matter, and discuss the practical steps clearly laid out for us in places like James and Ephesians. Not only will we realize how peace can still reign, but Donna shares conflict prevention tips, anger management tools when you’re caught up in the heat of it all, and lastly, the best step to take if you want to move a tumultuous relationship towards peace and health today. In the end, let’s trade this lie for the truth: Conflict can be peaceful and healthy if I follow Jesus and the path laid out in His Word.   Let's connect! 💻All my resources: https://heidileeandersonministries.com 📲 Let's be friends on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 📖My book, P.S.

I Could Never vs. I Can Through Christ, with Katie Klein @littlehouselearningco
Have you ever thought, “I could never do that”? I could never be a SAHM. I could never start my own business. I could never go back to school or try a different career. Today, we’re talking to someone who originally thought, I could never homeschool,” but now finds herself at home, educating her 3 kids, and would never trade it for the world. How did she get there? And how can we get to that place of confidence too? Join me and Katie Klein, popular content creator at Little House Learning Co., as we talk about a Bible character who gets it, pull truths from his story to apply to ours, and find out how to move forward in the plan and purpose God has for us. In the end, let’s trade the lie that "I could never ________" for the truth that "I can do what I am called to, by Christ who equips me" (Hebrew 13:21).   Let's connect! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 "Hello, I'm Jesus" Family Devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/hello-im-jesus 💻All my resources: https://heidileeandersonministries.com 📲 Let's be friends on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 📖My book, P.S.

To Get The Life You Want, You Have to Chase It Down vs. Slow It Down, with Jennifer Dukes Lee
Have you ever bought into the lie of hustle culture that’s screaming, “To get the life you want, you have to chase that life down!”? You know, work 24/7. Be available around the clock. Run yourself into the ground. Basically, if you want it, you gotta make it happen… all day, every day. But what if that’s not true? What if to get the life you want, you actually have to slow it down? Join me as I interview Jennifer Dukes Lee, bestselling author of several books including, Growing Slow, It’s All Under Control, and Stuff I’d Only Tell God, as she retells her story, ties seasons on the farm to seasons in life, and helps us grasp a slower paced life. In the end, you’ll be able to trade this lie for the truth: To get that life you want, you don’t have to chase it down… you just need to follow Jesus, who is the Life.   Let's connect! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Travel Through Passion Week Family Devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/travel-passion-week 📲 Let's be friends on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 📖My book, P.S.

It’s Never Gonna Get Better vs. It's Only a Season
💭Have you ever thought, “This is just how it is? It’s never gonna get better? It’s gonna last forever?” The good times seem to fly on by💨, but when we keep seeing that negative pregnancy test month after month, when our child’s struggles at school continue to be there, or a chronic illness has shadowed many of your days and there’s no hope of healing on the horizon... 👉It’s in these moments we can entertain the lie that “it’s never gonna get better,” but when we do, we lose one of the most important things God has ever given us: hope❗️ Today, I want to speak to the person whose hope quotient is so low, and to even hope, wish for better, long for more… well, you just don’t feel like you have it in you anymore. 🗣️Through the power of the Holy Spirit who raised Christ from the dead, I believe He’s going to restore some dead things in our souls today too and resurrect it back to life.   Let's connect! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Travel Through Passion Week Family Devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/travel-passion-week 🙋‍♀️Adult Passion Week Devotional on sale for $2.99: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/adult-passion-week-devotional/p/adult 📲 Let's be friends on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 📖My book, P.S.

God Had Nothing to Do With That vs. God’s Sovereignty, with Amber Smith

God Had Nothing to Do With That vs. God’s Sovereignty, with Amber Smith
Have you ever heard, “God had nothing to do with that?” Something so bad, so tragic, so horrific happened that it was almost spoken as a reassurance or thought to make you feel better. Like “how could a good God have allowed something so bad?” But is it true? And does it actually make you feel better? Join me as I interview Amber Smith, host of the Arise podcast and wife to Granger Smith. She retells the story of her 3-year-old son drowning, how she met Jesus during this time, and how God has turned their life upside down for the good. In the end, we’ll be able to trade this lie for the truth: Quite the opposite of God having nothing to do with it... God is in this with you. He is intimately involved in the details of your life, and His sovereignty is actually the reassurance needed to pull you through.   Let's connect! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Travel Through Passion Week Family Devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/travel-passion-week 📲 Let's be friends on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 📖My book, P.S.

In the midst of daily difficulties and everyday challenges, have you ever thought, “I’m so done with this! It’s so hard… pushing me too far… stretching me beyond belief.
