How does the power of Christ in me overcome evil?The second is The Passionate breaking of My Fallow Ground. What is the role of suffering and rewards? How does my loaded history impact my functional faith in Christ? How does one deal with the demonic? What is the root of bitterness? What is the root of fear? What is the root of shame? What is the root of lawlessness? What are toxic male and female relationship conceits and agendas? What is true intimacy and what is false intimacy? What is the relationship of narcissism to relationship addictions?
