Well Within Her

What if the thing standing between you and growth is your willingness to be uncomfortable? In this episode, we unpack how growth often happens in the tension.

Please bear with us over the next few weeks; the episode audio might not be the best due to having to record from home instead of the studio!

Sometimes the hardest battles aren’t around us....they’re in our own minds. In this episode, we’re talking about the subtle, everyday ways the enemy shows up: the lies that sound like your own voice, the comparison that steals your peace, the fear that keeps you stuck, and the distractions that quietly pull you away from God.
