Habit #1: Flip the Script (Where Real Change Begins)

Most of us don’t realize how often we’re being discipled—
not by Scripture,
not by the Spirit,
but by the quiet stories playing in our own minds.

I’ve always been this way.
This won’t really change.
I’ll try again someday.

Those thoughts feel familiar, even reasonable. But over time, they begin to set the boundaries of our faith. They determine what we attempt, what we avoid, and what we assume God can—or can’t—do in us.

That’s why Win the Day, a seven-habit Bible study, begins with the mind.

Habit #1 is called: Flip the Script.
Because before God changes our behavior, He often changes our thinking.

Jesus did this constantly. He renamed people. He reframed failure. He spoke identity before performance. Simon became Peter long before he acted like a rock. Jesus didn’t wait for change to happen before calling out what could be.

This first habit helps groups slow down and examine the inner narratives shaping their faith. Not with guilt or pressure—but with Scripture, grace, and truth.

Win the Day walks groups through seven biblical habits:

Habit #1: Flip the Script
Learn how renewed thinking opens the door to spiritual transformation.

Habit #2: Kiss the Wave
Discover how God uses difficulty and resistance to form perseverance and faith.

Habit #3: Eat the Frog
Face hard obedience first instead of putting it off.

Habit #4: Fly the Kite
Practice faithfulness in small, unseen moments that lead to lasting growth.

Habit #5: Cut the Rope
Move from half-hearted commitment to wholehearted trust.

Habit #6: Wind the Clock
Learn to redeem time and treat each day as a sacred gift.

Habit #7: Seed the Clouds
Act in faith before results are visible—obedience before evidence.

Each lesson uses thoughtful, open-ended questions that help groups talk honestly about real life. In this first habit especially, people often realize that the biggest shift isn’t external. It’s internal.

Change begins when someone quietly thinks,
What if that story I’ve been telling myself isn’t the one God is telling?

That’s when a day begins to look different.

Most lives aren’t changed by one heroic decision.
They are shaped by small, faithful choices—starting with what we choose to believe today.
