We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

Many of our father's decisions have traumatizes.

Whether he was in the home but not of the home or if he abandoned the home altogether,

we can be bound by his bad decisions.

Not that he made decisions to hurt you, but if he made bad ones, it hurt you.

Just like your bad decisions hurt someone. All of our bad decisions, right? So we make bad

decisions. Most of the time, we can trace bad decisions back to bad decisions when we were growing up or we can trace it back

to something that was done by somebody that was bad growing up some kind of trauma and we operate that

way based on that trauma right i need amen's today because amen i'm weak and lowly meek y'all i need you today okay i need

your energy colotians 3 and 21 says fathers provoke not your children to what anger Anger, lest they be what?

Discouraging.

This is what we're seeing constantly from day to day, discouragement, especially discouragement from Christianity.

Just discouragement.

That's where all this Hebrew stuff comes.

It's all these different ideologies about the Bible and Christ and the Bible ain't real and the white man did this.

And all this stuff is coming from

discouraged men that were hurt by so-called Christian fathers yeah because the top

preachers in the country and the famous ones whatever most of their sons are dibbling and dabbling

in this black stuff because they've been discouraged.

Y'all still with me? When we are traumatized, we set up barriers in our minds and hearts that can last

a lifetime. A lifetime. God can't do anything with you. He wants to do certain things

with you. He can't do it because you set up a lifelong barrier because of what you saw or what
