Drawing on the story of Rapunzel from the film Tangled as an extended illustration, Pastor Archie demonstrates how deception can trap people in a false understanding of who they are, keeping them from living in the freedom and purpose God intended. Just as Rapunzel was always the daughter of a king but was kept from that truth by a manipulative captor, believers are children of God who can be blinded to that reality by the lies of the enemy.
