What if the fastest way to grow spiritually… is to first learn how people lose their way?

In this episode of The Holy Middle, Chandler Petrak flips the script and walks through the surprisingly common habits that quietly sabotage our relationship with God. From replacing intimacy with routine, to comparing your calling to someone else’s highlight reel, to isolating yourself in seasons where you need community most — these patterns are more normal than we think… and more dangerous than we admit.

Chandler shares personal stories, pastoral insight, and practical resets to help you recognize where your spiritual life may be drifting — and how to realign before burnout, cynicism, or stagnation set in.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, dry, or quietly frustrated in your walk with God, this conversation will put language to what you’re experiencing — and point you toward a better way forward.
