I Turned The Blessing into My Curse
Manage episode 488748512 series 3484537
Sometimes the very blessing God gives us becomes the idol that blocks us from Him. In this vulnerable episode of This Feels Holy, I share how God convicted me to let go of TikTok Shop—even when it didn’t make financial sense. I explore the slippery slope from blessing to idol, the pull of self-resource over divine provision, and the painful beauty of obedience.
This message is for anyone struggling to surrender control, let go of distractions, or discern the difference between God’s voice and your own desires. Let’s talk about conviction, identity, and how to avoid turning gifts into gods.
