**Action Steps to Transformation

Step 1: Live Forgiven: Ephesians 4: 31-32 - "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.”
​
Step 2: Drop Your Pride: 1 Peter 5: 6-7 - "So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”

Step 3: Transform Your Thoughts: 2 Corinthians 10:5 - "We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.”
