Replacing False Beliefs: Knowing God’s True Nature

Many Christians struggle to grow spiritually, not because they lack discipline, but because they unknowingly believe lies about God’s character. In Be Transformed – New Life Awaits, author John Murphy explains that these false beliefs—often formed in childhood or through painful experiences—create a distorted view of God that blocks intimacy and healing. We may say we trust Him, but our hearts tell a different story.

The Rock House Center podcast “False Beliefs About God” explores this disconnect with clarity and compassion. Beth Murphy shares how her assumptions about God’s nature were challenged and replaced with truth. When we believe God is distant, harsh, or conditional in His love, we live in fear and strive for approval. But when we know Him as loving, trustworthy, and present, our hearts begin to heal and transform.

This kind of change doesn’t come from effort—it comes from revelation. Ask God: What false beliefs about You am I holding onto? Let Him gently uncover the lies and replace them with truth. You may be surprised by what He reveals. But as your understanding of His character deepens, so will your peace, joy, and freedom.

You don’t have to live with a distorted view of God. He wants to be known—and He wants to heal your heart with the truth of who He is.
