Avoid the T.R.A.P.S.Sample

New seasons require new rhythms.

We can’t expect to truly transform if we maintain the same thoughts, ways, and behaviors of our past - especially in the areas that tend to trap us. Like anything else in life, our titles, relationships, appearance, plans, and social media require boundaries, wisdom, and clarity for us to navigate them well.

Here are a few reminders to help us find our worth in kingdom values over culture:

• Titles - Value your position as a child of God. This unearned title carries more weight than any title we could receive on Earth.
• Relationships - Seek wholeness in God separate from the approval of people. From that place of wholeness, partner with God to discover who He wants you to partner with in life.
• Appearance - Prioritize your soul care - the state of your emotions, thoughts and affections - just as much as your self care. Keep your soul covered in His truth.
• Plans - Invite God into every decision you make about your life. Furthermore, let Him lead.
• Social Media - Remember, the apps are not real. Keep healthy boundaries and know when it’s time to R.E.S.E.T.

We can avoid placing our worth in the areas that culture values over what the Kingdom values by remembering that our true identity is in Christ and Christ alone. Let’s allow God’s word to have the final say over our identity and worth and depend on Him to transform us as we walk into new seasons.
