This exercise helps identify labels and roles you may have unconsciously allowed to define your worth and direct your life.
Labels I Have Carried: List five roles, titles, or labels (good or bad) that you currently or historically define yourself by (e.g., Busy Mom, Failed Entrepreneur, People Pleaser, Caretaker, The Smart One).

Lost
The Lie: Write down one lie about yourself that you believe holds you back from stepping into your full purpose (e.g., I’m not qualified, I’m too old, I don't have enough time, I'm too damaged).

Summary
1. The Power of Identity (Who You Are)
1. The Power of Identity (Who You Are)
Anderson argues that most Christians struggle because they have a "victim" or "sinner" identity rather than a "saint" identity.
The Transformation: When you are born again, you aren't just a "forgiven sinner"; you are a new creation.
The Mirror of Word: You must view yourself through God’s "mirror" (Scripture) rather than the world's mirror (performance, appearance, or opinions of others).
2. The Battle for the Mind
2. The Battle for the Mind
The "darkness" mentioned in the title refers to the lies and strongholds that the enemy plants in our thoughts.
Winning the War: Victory is won by replacing lies with truth. If you believe a lie, you will live as if it’s true.
Right Thinking leads to Right Living: You cannot consistently behave in a way that is inconsistent with how you perceive yourself. If you perceive yourself as a failure, you will fail. If you perceive yourself as "dearly loved" and "completely accepted," your behavior will eventually align.
3. Position vs. Condition
3. Position vs. Condition
This is a critical distinction for your participants:
Position: Your legal standing before God (Righteous, Holy, Redeemed). This never changes.
Condition: Your daily walk and struggle with sin. This fluctuates.
The Secret: To improve your condition, you must focus on your position.
4. The Path to Freedom
4. The Path to Freedom
The book outlines how to break "mental strongholds"—deeply ingrained patterns of thought that were formed by past trauma or bad habits.
Faith is the Bridge: Faith is simply "acting on what you believe to be true."
Personal Responsibility: While God provides the power, we must choose to "renew our minds" (Romans 12:2) daily.
