S5 E19 What Are You Avoiding? Learning to Be Honest with God

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of honest self-reflection with God to overcome fear and shame.

Most of us don’t avoid looking inward because we don’t care… we avoid it because we’re not sure what we’ll find if we do. In this episode, Scott, Deb, Nick, and Crystal explore what it really means to take an honest look at ourselves—not alone, but with God. Using Step 4 as a framework, they unpack how fear, resentment, and patterns can quietly block us from feeling God’s light—and why avoiding them only keeps us stuck. But this isn’t about shame, and it’s not about fixing everything overnight. It’s about discovering that when we bring God into the process, honesty leads to freedom—not fear. If you’ve ever felt hesitant to look inward… this episode is for you. Simple invitation: Take a few quiet minutes this week and ask: “Heavenly Father, what are You trying to show me about me right now?” Not to shame you… but to free you.
