There is a kind of comfort that feels good in the moment…
but quietly keeps you stuck.
And if we’re not careful, we can start to prefer feeling better
over actually being transformed.
In this episode, I’m inviting you into a deeper, more honest conversation about why we resist truth—and how choosing comfort over truth can keep us trapped in painful patterns in our relationships, our thinking, and our emotional responses.
We’re walking through Isaiah 30 and uncovering what it means when God’s people said, “Tell us pleasant things…”—and how that same tendency can show up in our lives today.
I’m also sharing a powerful and much-needed teaching on admonishing and rebuking—what they actually mean biblically, how they fit within love and grace, and why avoiding them can keep us (and the people we love) stuck in cycles that never truly change.
If you’ve ever:
- Avoided hard conversations to keep the peace
- Struggled to receive correction without becoming defensive
- Found yourself repeating the same relational patterns
- Or felt torn between being “kind” and being truthful
This episode is for you.
Because God is not asking you to live in illusion…
He’s inviting you into truth that heals.
