His Echo with Patrick Lyons Patrick A. Lyons

Often times people we attach to with our pain are viewed as assets when in reality many are liabilities and even more so a hindrance. We often find ourselves developing dependencies on people that gain from our destruction. One identifying marker is people that are quick to recognize our struggle yet never move toward supporting a transition to a better existence.

We call these people Wallowers! Wallowers are quick to sympathize and cry with you but never push you to better. Wallowers validate your frustration but never strategize your success. Wallowers love the dependency you develop with every struggle you face and pain you feel. In order to LiveAlive you have to learn to Detach from Wallowers. In this podcast we address how to do so. Let's dive in as we progress toward freedom from Wallowers.

In this episode we share a raw unfiltered look at what self deception does. Journey with me as I express the conviction of God challenging me to personally recognize and address my own lack of innocence. Have you ever felt justified in doing something wrong? Have you become desensitized to your own sin? Have you ever found yourself quick to blame others in an attempt to avoid acknowledgement of your own issues? Guess what you aren't alone. God is calling his people to accountability so we can experience the freedom of wholeness. Listen as I share on the topic of Fasle Innocence and see how we challenge ourselves to move forward. 

In this episode we continue to address the understanding that I am responsible for my response to the pain I feel at the hand of others. Today's content takes an in-depth look at the testimony of the "Woman at the well". As a listener you will see how hard truth and recognition of our limitations set us up for purpose. It is our prayer that as you process this content it will cause you to grab hold of your dependency on God instead of the people around us. 

     One of the biggest barriers blocking the abundant life God has for us is unfortunately people. Unfortunately hurt, abuse, being mishandled, the doubt and unhealthy patterns of our relationships often impede our ability to flourish. You and I both understand what it means to go through at the hand of others. This experience will lead you to a place where you find yourself asking God to deliver you from people. 

     In this podcast we discover the hard truth that this statement is deceptive in nature often pacifying us with a false sense of innocence. As you listen to this study you will discover People really aren't the problem. While they are guilty of the negative impact we are responsible for the degree to which we allow others to hold us captive. It is our hope that by the end of this podcast we will see our own responsibility in the deficiencies of our lives.

Everything created, formed and established has a foundation. Without a basis to stand on even hope and expectation crumbles. In this podcast we will continue with the understanding that God's expectations FOR us is the motivation of His expectation FROM us. In our discussion we will provoke the listeners to place expectations on themselves that fall in line with the plan of God. Today listeners are challenged to reclaim there "I Can".  As we journey through the podcast we will discover the foundations our hope and expectation stands on.

In order to create your favorite meal yo must be able to obtain the Recipe that lists what that meal is made up of. So is the same for us. In this podcast we will discover the formula and recipe of expectation. Upon this discovery we will launch out into the role of an Encounter with God that leads us toward his plan for our lives. As a listener you will discover the steps You are responsible for taking to move into a life of fulfilled Expectation.
