Habits of Resistance: 7 Ways You're Being Formed by Culture and Gospel Practices to Help You Push Back

Every Christian wants abundance and wholeness, and we know we're able to experience these things when we are formed by the story and the way of Jesus.

So what's the problem? Why do we find ourselves empty, divided in heart, and unfulfilled? Oftentimes, the problem is we are being formed by some other story or way, allowing culture to disciple us more than Jesus does. If we listen closely, these false narratives are everywhere. And it's time to break free from their control over our lives.

In this game-changing book, Bible teacher Elizabeth Woodson shows you how to get unstuck from culture's discipleship pathway. Through biblical teaching, personal stories, and practical tools, Elizabeth helps you not only deconstruct 7 false gospels that invite you into the wrong story and wrong way, but resist them through powerful, time-tested spiritual habits that bring you back into God's story. In these pages, discover:

• How to identify the false stories you're living in, as told to you by the world
• How to step into the right, true, and better gospel story as told to you by God
• How to not only recognize when you're being spiritually malformed by culture, but push back against its influence
• How to replace cultural practices with 7 powerful gospel practices in your daily life

You will not accidentally experience wholeness and abundance; you must be intentional about it. Habits of Resistance will help you fight to stay in the only true Story, true Way, and true Path to abundant life--all of which only come through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
