Overcoming Strongholds Nuggets
Over the years many have shared with me their struggles with overcoming issues in their lives. This series of Nuggets was birthed as a result of me being asked to preached on the topic of Overcoming Strongholds. I planned to expand the coverage of many of the issues raised in the sermon through this series of Nuggets, illustrating the principles with examples from my own experience.

Dealing with the Strongholds in Our Lives
Let’s return to the things of the normal world. In other words I am not continuing to look at the strongholds from the evil world. Some of you were a little shocked by that subject matter and by the one example I shared. So let’s …
Identifying the Strongholds in our Lives
In the last Nugget I talked about how other people can exert pressure on us and try to manipulate us into a stronghold for their own gratification or feelings of inadequacy. Those situations are hard to deal with but require perseverance and strength of character …
