Mel, Michael, and Joel talk about spiritual strongholds being wrong patterns of thinking. Idolatry begins when you submit yourself to these patterns and begin to make oaths based on them. What are some common causes of strongholds in a person's life? How do you resist developing strongholds in your own life? Next they discuss the incongruity between why people say they disbelieve in God versus why they actually disbelieve in God. Are some people simply embarrassed to admit their need for Christ? Scripture suggests the primary reason a person rejects God is his or her sin - not some rational argument. The conversation finishes with an evaluation of how much you can control in your life. What are the limits of your control?
