Can we find answers in psychology? Should we use psychology in Christianity? John and Mark discuss the value of observable psychology. Understanding the context of rejection and identity helps to see why we function the way we do. For a more in-depth understanding of identity and rejection, listen to episodes 27 and 28. The guys discuss integration and how labels are needed for insurance but can become a "sentence" for people. Labels are descriptive and not our identity. John states that labels are not psychological tattoos. GFI focuses on going beyond coping to the cure. Observable psychology gives us context but Christ is the answer!

In this episode, John and Mark discuss how the Exchanged Life is both a positional and conditional truth. They both align together. Our position is we are righteous and in Christ. This is a positional and spiritual truth. Our condition is our daily life, these are distinct but interrelated. In the Book of Ephesians chapters 1-3 describe our position and then chapters 4-6 to our condition. Knowing your position in Christ gives you the power to be obedient. Mark speaks of praying specifically to God and making the proper withdrawals. Dr. John describes the difference between "Relationship and Fellowship." Our relationship with Christ is secure but our fellowship can fluctuate. For example, we can quench the Holy Spirit but not lose our position. The guys discuss how many attempt to secure their relationship with God through fellowship but there is no checklist to be right with God. Dr. John encouraged the listeners to memorize Ephesians 2:10, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

Have you ever had a mountain top experience and the bottom seems to fall out? When these "downers" occur we seem to wonder if the victory we had was real and lasting. We wonder, "What am I missing?" You are not abnormal and these moments do not mean you didn't "get it." The first step of a downer is subtle. In this episode, Dr. John and Mark discuss the steps and dangers of a downer and how to get back up! John discusses how a downer isn't the same as Bipolar and how victory is a person, not a program. The guys discuss how the blood of Jesus covers what we do and the cross covers what we are. Even amid a downer, we are still in Christ. The Victor is in us! No matter what, we must maintain hope and set our minds to the fact that He will fulfill His purpose in and through us.
