EP 221: Live Unashamed - Fire the Old God

Sam, Mason, James, and Austin discuss “firing the old God and hiring the new one.” They define the “old God” as transactional, shaming, distant, perpetually disappointed, and often rooted in childhood, family-of-origin dynamics. The "old God" is a false God that uses reward systems, shame, and sometimes spiritual manipulation. To embrace a new God, you can:

1. Explicitly name false beliefs about God,

2. Identify their impact on relationships, nervous system

3. Reality-test beliefs through scripture and Christ’s character

4. Examine how the belief once protected parts of the self

5. Grieve the loss of the familiar but harmful God-image, and

6. Use rituals (termination letter, speaking aloud, burning notes) to “fire” it.

To close, Austin recommends John Eldredge’s One Minute Pause App feature "20 Days to Experience Jesus.”
