17 Thinking Traps That Prove Jesus Is Your Tool, Not Your Savior
In this episode, I walk through 17 thinking traps (cognitive distortions) Christians commonly fall into without realizing it — and explain how these patterns reveal what we are functionally trusting to save us.
Using Hebrews 4:12 as the framework, this teaching applies Scripture surgically, separating soul from spirit to expose where Jesus has become the means to a savior rather than the Savior Himself.
I explain:
- The difference between faith-building seasons and stripping seasons
- Why many believers love Jesus but still operate from misplaced trust
- How trials reveal what we’re actually leaning on
- Why thinking traps are not just psychological patterns, but spiritual indicators
- How cognitive distortions show up specifically in Christian language and behavior
- The connection between anxiety, overthinking, and functional saviors like control, certainty, healing, or outcomes
Each of the 17 thinking traps is defined, then applied to real Christian thought patterns — toward God, toward self, and toward others — to help identify where trust has subtly shifted away from Christ.
This episode is not about condemnation or questioning salvation.
It’s about awareness, discipleship, and returning Jesus to the center of trust.
