Ep 104 - The Lie I was told at 2:30 in the Morning
I woke up around 2:30 in the morning with the thought that maybe I should get up and pray.
Then another voice entered the conversation.
"Don't bother."
"You again?"
"What do you want now?"
"All you've done lately is make a mess."
The next morning, I couldn't stop thinking about that moment—not because I believed it, but because I wondered how many pastors hear similar lies and quietly believe them.
In this episode, we talk honestly about spiritual warfare, shame, isolation, and one of the enemy's oldest strategies:
Disconnection.
In This Episode
