Episode Synopsis
Cheat Code: Own It | Breaking Free from Repeated Patterns
Same struggles, different year. Same issues, different relationship. Why do we keep repeating the same patterns? In week 2 of the "Cheat Code" series, Pastor Ryan tackles the hardest but most essential step to breaking free: owning our part in our past. Using the powerful account of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3, this message explores why we hide, blame, and repeat the same mistakes—and how taking responsibility for our piece of the story can bring the clarity and freedom we've been searching for. From understanding why sin didn't just break our relationship with God but also broke our willingness to take responsibility, to discovering how blame smuggles old issues into new seasons—this teaching will challenge you to ask the question we all avoid: "What was my part?" Whether you've been stuck in cycles of blame or ready to lower the emotional temperature in your life—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest vulnerability, and a kingdom principle that will change everything: The only way to make peace with your past is by owning your piece of your past.
📖 Scripture Reference: Genesis 2:15-17, Genesis 3:8-13, Matthew 5:8
💡 Big Idea: We cannot blame our way into a better future. Blame smuggles our old issues into new seasons. The only way to make peace with your past is by owning your piece of your past.
❤️ Key Quote: "If next time is going to be any different than last time, then you and I have to be willing to own our piece of our past."
