The Roadmap for Tearing Down Strongholds

Fort Lauderdale, FL – JULY 20, 2020 – Destination Destiny announces the release of Get Your Truth Back, a digital workbook designed to create a practical, systematic plan to tear down the strongholds in your life.

Written in an conversation style utilizing challenging, engaging, and compelling questions and exercises that will guide you through the process of Evaluating your patterns of behavior; Discerning perspectives consistent with the mind of Christ; Creating specific actions to move forward in partnership with the Holy Spirit; Engaging a support team to walk alongside you; and Implementing the process of getting back the truth satan has stolen.

“If you know God’s will, but often times do otherwise, this eWorkbook is for you” according to its author Rev. Dr. I. David Byrd. Adding, “Strongholds are the result of the lies the enemy has convinced you are true.” This labor of love and purpose is the culmination of personal experience and his experience’s walking along side believers in spiritual battle.

If change were easy, perhaps more people would embrace it. Upholding the status quo isn’t just socially comfortable; it is biologically ingrained in the human mind. Excellence in thought requires systematic cultivation.
