| 0:21.0 | Especially unhing your self-esteem wagon from strangers, my friends. I can't tell you how many people I encounter who have attached their self-confidence their self-esteem their |
| 0:35.0 | self-worth all of it and they've attached it to an actual stranger like |
| 0:40.8 | somebody else or something else that is like controlling how they |
| 0:47.3 | feel about themselves and their their value or their worth or what they can or can't do in the world. And so we need to |
| 0:55.7 | recognize this and then unhing it. We know from scripture it says one hand on the plow and |
| 1:02.1 | then looking back is not worthy of the kingdom of God. |
