Flesh and Ego Driven State

The MEN of INFLUENCE: TRANSFORMATION THROUGH MENTOR RELATIONSHIPS

This excerpt from Next Level Chapter 1 is a Christian self-help guide focusing on spiritual growth. It describes the "flesh" or ego-driven state, characterized by self-centeredness, fear, and a need for external validation, using biblical examples like Cain and Abel and the Tower of Babel to illustrate this immaturity. The text then proposes a journey of transformation, urging readers to crucify their ego and embrace a Spirit-led life, providing practical steps and workbook exercises to aid this process. The author uses personal anecdotes and biblical teachings to encourage readers to move beyond self-preservation and into a life of freedom and purpose in Christ. Finally, it outlines a workbook designed to guide this transformation through reflection, scripture study, and action steps.
