So, what are limiting beliefs? They're the ingrained convictions that constrain our life experience. They're often subliminal messages we've absorbed from our environment, experiences, and past mistakes. They whisper quietly in our minds, 'You can't do this', 'You're not good enough', or 'This is not for someone like you'. Today, we dismantle these lies brick by brick."
Step one is Identification. Sometimes, recognizing these beliefs is the hardest part. To help bring them into the light, take a moment each day to reflect on your thoughts and feelings. Ask yourself, 'What beliefs are holding me back?' Write them down, for what we can see, we can change.
What beliefs consistently challenge my faith and actions?
Step two, Challenge your beliefs. Sit down with each belief and interrogate it as if it's on trial. Does this belief hold up against evidence? Has it always been true? You'll find that most of these beliefs are not absolute truths, but rather opinions—often not even your own.
Let's move to step three, Restructure. After challenging a limiting belief, reframe it into a positive, empowering belief. If your limiting belief was 'I'm not capable of leading a group study,' reframe it as 'I am learning and growing each day to guide others in faith.' The reframing step is about rewriting your mental script.
Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.
Step four is about Building New Evidence. Act upon your new, positive beliefs. Each small action you take will serve as proof that your limiting beliefs are false and that your new beliefs are the true reflection of your capabilities and your potential.
"Today, make one small decision to act on your new belief."
Lastly, step five is Maintenance. Keep a journal of successes, no matter how small they may seem. These records will reinforce your new, positive beliefs and remind you of your progress, especially on challenging days.
Remember, overcoming limiting beliefs is a process—an incredibly rewarding one that reinforces your faith and frees you to live the life you were meant to live. It takes persistence and, indeed faith.

Use this scripture to keep fresh in our mind as we go throughout this lesson.
Lets start by **Defining Systematic Theology:**
It is a methodical approach to comprehend and organize religious beliefs. The term "systematic" implies a deliberate effort to construct a coherent framework for understanding religious doctrines and their interrelationships.
A simply way to think of this is a structured approach to the Study of God and Religion (we will be repeating this throughout the course)
