530 // The #1 Thing Holding You Back from Healing (And What God Says About It) (Bible Study and Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is all about taking responsibility for our spiritual growth—without shame, blame, or comparison. We’re wrapping up our study of 1 Corinthians 4:2–5 with a powerful reminder that while people may judge us, it’s ultimately God who sees our hearts and motives. We also dive into Day 7 of our “Don’t Believe Everything You Think” devotional, focusing on the distortion of blaming—the tendency to shift responsibility for our struggles onto others.

Through the story of Job and a quote from Viktor Frankl, we’re reminded that we always have a choice in how we respond to what life brings our way. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like a victim of your circumstances or found it easier to point fingers instead of taking ownership, this episode will gently challenge and encourage you to “brace yourself” for the growth God wants to do in you.

We close with a journaling prompt, a prayer, and a loving invitation to join The Circle Time Collective before doors close at midnight tonight. Let’s keep growing together, Sis.
