UCT 028: Orphan-Victim-Martyr Cycle with Lisa Bowers

A couple episodes ago, Max and Steve discussed the epidemic that is the culture of victimhood in the West. This week, Max is joined by TFHC pastor Lisa Bowers who shares about something she calls the orphan-victim-martyr cycle and how to combat it.

Lisa points out that, as Christians, we are not immune from flawed thinking. When we get stuck in a mindset that puts too much focus on what we lack, it can quickly spiral in our lives. Operating out of isolation and unhealthy independence is a symptom of an orphan spirit at work. This often leads to feelings of victimhood, and eventually, the outlook that makes our sacrifices for the Kingdom all about ourselves. This is not what Jesus exemplified in His own life, death and resurrection. 

Avalynn Wallace's Memorial: Will be held at 3556 Oro Bangor Hwy, Oroville, CA 95966. The celebration will start with a potluck picnic at 3:30, followed by a formal service at 5:30. In lieu of flowers, the Wallace family would appreciate donations to "Avie's Place," a LEGO-themed park to be built in her honor. Those donations can be made on Facebook or directly to The Father's House Church of Oroville. Those attending can also bring perennial plants, trees, shrubs, benches or picnic tables to contribute to the park. Donation links and more information can be found below:
