Do You Ever Feel Like a Hypocrite? (Why Do I Keep Tripping Over the Same Things?)

If you find yourself tripping over the same spiritual hurdles time and again despite your best efforts to grow, you're not alone. In this episode of Coffee Chat, Amber and Lisa get real about what it means to keep circling the same mountains in our walk with Christ—whether it's struggling with anger, falling into judgment, or repeating patterns we swore we'd break.

Through laughter (because, let's be honest, we process serious things with humor), honest conversation, and faith-driven wisdom, we tackle:

• The frustration of finding ourselves back in old patterns we thought we'd overcome
• How to extend grace to ourselves while still pursuing growth
• Recognizing the generational patterns we unconsciously carry
• Small, tangible steps that help create lasting change in our responses
• Trusting that even when we stumble, God is still perfecting us day by day

So grab your favorite cozy drink (and don't forget to set those clocks ahead!), and settle in as we talk about why we keep tripping over the same things in our Christian walk. Spoiler: The journey to becoming like Christ isn't a straight line.
