Hey Kingdom BFF!
1. Have you unknowingly embraced a blended belief system that’s distorting God’s truth?
2. Could your loyalty to culture or tradition be limiting your ability to hear from God?
3. Is it possible that your “normal” is actually rooted in oppression?
In Part 3 of the Counterfeit Systems series, we’re shifting gears and peeling back deeper layers of deception—specifically, how syncretism quietly distorts our faith by blending cultural beliefs with truth.
This episode challenges us to examine if the systems we trust—including religion—are actually leading us toward the heart of God… or pulling us further from it. Are you truly being led by the Holy Spirit, or have religious beliefs and practices quietly taken the wheel?
We’re also wrestling with tough but necessary questions—like whether God is to blame for systemic oppression, or if it’s a result of human choices and free will. We’re laying the foundation as you begin to explore what it really means to see through the eyes of your Creator, and how tapping into His perspective begins to dismantle long-standing oppression, both personally and culturally.
I pray this episode blesses you and gives you a fresh perspective on aligning your wealth, health, and relationships with the principles of the Kingdom.
Enjoy!
Your Kingdom BFF,
Raquel
