In this powerful episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, Ryan Johnson and Michael Riley expose a subtle but deadly tactic of the enemy that keeps believers spiritually immature: blame.

From the Garden of Eden to the Pool of Bethesda, Scripture reveals a clear pattern—avoiding responsibility blocks your spiritual growth. Adam blamed Eve (and God), Eve blamed the serpent, and we still do the same today. But what if your next level of freedom, healing, and maturity is on the other side of owning your actions?

🔥 Learn why taking personal responsibility is the one thing you must do to grow spiritually.

📖 Featuring biblical insight from Genesis 3 and John 5, this episode will:

• Challenge your excuses
• Break the cycle of shame and guilt
• Reignite your communion with God
• Equip you to walk in spiritual maturity and righteousness

Stop pointing fingers. Start walking in power.
