Bonus Episode: Removing the “I” from SIN | The Hidden Barrier Between You and God
What if the greatest barrier between you and God wasn’t what you thought? What if it was only one letter?
In this special bonus episode, I’m sharing a message I recently taught at a couples retreat that has continued to challenge my own heart. Together we’ll explore how removing the “I” from SIN transforms not only our relationship with God, but also our marriages and the relationships we value most.
Through Scripture and practical application, we’ll discover how pride and self-focus quietly create distance, while humility and surrender open the door to deeper intimacy with Christ.
Be sure to stay until the end, where I’ll guide you through a personal reflection exercise designed to help you prayerfully ask God what He wants to reveal to you and what He is inviting you to do next. My prayer is that this won’t simply be a message you hear—but one you experience. 🙏💎
