Have you ever felt like you’re standing in quicksand—desperate to move forward but stuck in the same place?
In this episode, I delve into that feeling, examining how hidden compromises and worldly lies can entrap us in cycles of guilt, shame, and spiritual paralysis. However, there is a way out, and it begins with bringing everything into the light.
We’ve all been there, stuck in patterns of doubt, distracted by life’s demands, or clinging to what’s comfortable instead of stepping out in faith. In today’s episode, I revisit David’s posture in the Psalms, how confession, repentance, and transformation can guide us out of the mess. Through my personal journey with anxiety, limiting lies, and the power of truth-telling, I'll share how I found freedom and invite you to do the same.
Here's what I cover:
- Reasons we get stuck—and how small compromises lead to bigger struggles.
- Why true transformation starts with confession and a posture of repentance.
- The power of truth-telling: how sharing our testimonies can heal us and help others.
- How to identify the distractions and lies that derail us—and how to uproot them.
- A personal journey through anxiety, false narratives, and finding identity in Christ.
- Practical steps to pick up your stone (like David) and move forward with what God has already placed in your hands.
- The importance of slowing down, journaling, and being still with God to recognize what He’s entrusted to us.
Freedom is our inheritance—and we are free indeed.
You don’t have to do it in your own strength. God is greater than your excuses, your fears, and your failures. He is greater than your highs and your lows. He’s already equipped you with everything you need to move forward. Let’s step out in faith together.
