- longings, provision, calling, agendas, ministry
beneath the surface? (just beneath surface)
- control issues
sin beneath that?
- wanting to be god, my heart
-- do i really believe god is good, trustworthy, and reliable?

the 'don'ts' of scripture are always for provision/protection

why did god tell adam/eve not to eat of tree?
- trying to develop trust that god knows best
- god never wanted us to know evil
- requiring us to trust/at the very foundation of the relationship

unbelief - making us bigger than we are/god smaller than he is

serpent distorts/creates room for doubt
- lie is a distortion of god's truth
-- lie - god's way/life isnt as good as my way/life
