  • 67: 3 Hidden Spiritual Growth Obstacles That Keep You From Growing Closer to God
You want to grow closer to God because you know it’s important. Yet, you find yourself spiritually stuck. You can’t seem to make connection with God happen in your schedule. You wonder, “Why is it so hard for me to grow spiritually? Why can’t I seem to connect to God as an ongoing habit in my life?” My question to you is, “What might be some hidden spiritual growth obstacles–those thought patterns that might be sabotaging your efforts to grow closer to Christ?”
 
In today's podcast episode, let's dive into 3 hidden spiritual growth obstacles that keep us from growing closer to God.
 
 
Spiritual growth obstacles | spiritual growth rhythm | not growing spiritually | overcoming barriers to spiritual growth | hinder spiritual growth | knowing God | spiritual growth | spiritual growth rhythm | no more religion | relationship not religion | how to connect with God | connect with God | know Christ | relationship with Jesus | personal relationship with God | quiet time | grow closer to God | how to grow closer to God
 
There are very real spiritual growth challenges, and we do briefly discuss them in today's episode. 
 
But in this episode we spend the bulk of our time talking about three big reasons why we often sabotage our own spiritual closeness with God: change, fear and trust. I’ve found that we often get stuck in these patterns (of wanting to grow closer to God but feeling like we can’t) because we’re stuck in these subconscious thought patterns that make spiritual growth feel difficult.
 
We’ll also talk a bit about how the brain works and how there may be some deeper subconscious emotions that may be playing a part in keeping us stuck in these areas. And we’ll talk about some very specific ways you can get forward movement so that you CAN get spiritual growth. 
 

Friend, we're not here to add more shame or guilt. 

Instead, this episode is a chance to understand some hidden reasons why you may be sabotaging yourself when it comes to spiritual growth… and how you can break this cycle!

Lots of practical tips and a-ha moments here in today's episode! Don’t miss it!
