E105: The Habit of Withdrawing


Listen Later

Withdrawing might seem like the peaceful, “Christian” alternative to conflict—but it’s not. It’s just another sneaky habit that keeps us stuck. Whether you shut down in conversations, avoid emotions, or silently drift from God, today’s episode will help you see the truth behind the habit of pulling away.

In Part 4 of The Habit Turnaround Series, we’ll uncover:

• What withdrawing really looks like in your relationships, spiritual life, and self

• Why it feels like relief—but leads to isolation

• The habit loop that keeps you disconnecting

• How lamenting becomes the path to re-engagement with God, yourself, and others

If you’re tired of feeling numb, distant, or unseen—this is your episode. You don’t have to withdraw to feel safe. Let’s talk about a new way forward. Let’s go.
