Summary
🔥 Too many of us are walking around in "shoes" that don't fit—settling for pain, shame, and cycles that God never designed for us. In this message, Pastor Eric Thomas breaks down why feelings can't run your life, how Adam and Eve's story still mirrors our struggles today, and why honoring God's word—not our emotions—is the only way forward.
This sermon will challenge you to:
-
Stop entertaining the enemy's lies.
-
Replace shame and insecurity with God's truth.
-
Take off the old "9 ½" mindsets and step into the "11" God has prepared for you.
-
Focus on YOUR tree, not someone else's.
💡 Distraction leads to subtraction—but obedience leads to overflow.
