Lesson Three of the Emotional Wealth Series, authored by Dr. Dharius Daniels, is a faith‑based trajectory‑analysis workbook that guides readers to locate the origins of recurring emotional patterns, termed “snipers.” The lesson introduces the Roots‑and‑Routes framework: Roots (Wounds, Words, Witness) identify where a sniper was first installed, while Routes (Spark, Story, Strategy) describe how it continues to affect the present. Readers work through three “sniper” worksheets, selecting a category (Identity, Insecurity, etc.), indicating impact areas (emotional wealth, relational health, professional success), and completing prompts for each Root and Route component. A Reframe section invites users to replace the lie of their story with a truth grounded in Scripture. A comparative trajectory table helps surface common roots across snipers, followed by reflective prompts and a concluding prayer that integrates spiritual healing. The next lesson will move from investigation to designing a strategy to disarm the identified snipers.
Topics
Roots and Routes Framework: Mapping Emotional Snipers
Introduces the dual‑track model—Roots (Wounds, Words, Witness) as origin points and Routes (Spark, Story, Strategy) as present‑day pathways—used to trace emotional patterns.
Sniper Identification and Categorization Worksheet
Provides a structured worksheet for three snipers, asking users to label the sniper’s category, impact domains, and to fill in Root and Route prompts.
Reframe Section: Replacing Lies with God‑Centered Truth
Encourages users to articulate the false story they tell and replace it with a scriptural truth, linking emotional healing to faith.
Trajectory Comparison Table: Spotting Repeating Roots
A side‑by‑side table for the three snipers that reveals overlapping roots, core stories, and strategies, facilitating pattern recognition.
Reflective Prompts and Closing Prayer
Prompts users to name a hidden root, a strategy to release, and a desired emotion, culminating in a prayer that invites divine presence in the healing process.
