Overcoming Obstacles to Spiritual Growth

  • Summary

  • We’re kicking off a new season of Starting Place! In this episode, I’m sharing life updates, including my new book coming in 2026, my upcoming Bible study on Galatians (Live Free), and starting a new doctoral program.
    I’m also reflecting on the year ahead—big goals, little goals, and what holds us back. Fear, self-sufficiency, and sin can sabotage our faithfulness to God, but prayer realigns our hearts, reminds us of God’s power, and reconnects us to our purpose.
    Key Takeaways:
    🔥 Fear makes us forget God’s faithfulness—prayer helps us remember.
    🔥 Self-sufficiency tricks us into thinking we don’t need God’s power.
    🔥 Sin is more than immorality—it’s idolatry that distracts us from glorifying God.
    Reflection Question:
    How have fear, self-sufficiency, or sin impacted your spiritual growth?
    Share your thoughts with a friend, because we always learn more in community.
