Ep. 21 - We Aren’t As Spiritually Mature as We Think

Have you ever felt like you were "there" – on the brink of breakthrough, just one step away from God's promise – only to find out you were much farther than you thought? Or worse, that your finish line was merely a starting line? In this deeply personal and reflective video, I share my journey up a challenging mountain, mirroring the spiritual climb of life. I delve into the powerful truth of how God often prepares us to be disappointed – not to crush our spirits, but to refine our faith and lead us into a deeper walk with Him. Drawing from 14 years of journaling and a candid conversation, I expose my own naive expectations and the recurring pattern of "much to my disillusionment," where God would intervene just as I thought I'd reached the "finish line of faith." This isn't a story of easy answers, but of wrestling with isolation, financial struggles, and the profound discomfort of being called to "lay down my right to save myself."
