This episode is all about learning to accept the people we love right where they are.

So often, when we experience something new—whether it’s healing, growth, or a deeper walk with God—we want everyone around us to experience it too. But here’s the truth: you made the decision to change… they haven’t yet. And trying to force them to change because you did isn’t fair to them—or to you.

Sometimes, that urge to “pull them along” is really just you running back to comfort. Because if you had to truly apply what you’ve learned, it would stretch you to love them in the season they’re in. That’s the real challenge.

Acceptance doesn’t mean tolerance—it means choosing love. Love that makes room for patience, understanding, and compassion… even in disagreement.

In this episode, I break down:

  • Why acceptance is harder than we admit
  • How to love people in the season they’re in
  • Why forcing change is really about our own comfort
  • How God shows up for you—and for them—when you let Him
