How to Transform Your Faith: Defeating the First Two Horsemen of Spiritual Sabotage (Part 1)


Listen Later

Are you doing all the right things—reading your Bible, praying, serving—but still feeling spiritually stuck, dry, or disconnected? In this episode, Dr. Sharla breaks down the first two of the Four Horsemen of Spiritual Sabotage that secretly undermine your faith: Information Without Intimacy and Obedience Without Revelation. Drawing from scripture, psychology, and her own experiences, Dr. Sharla exposes how these subtle patterns look like faithfulness but are actually faith killers.

Inside this episode:

  • How knowing about God without knowing Him can leave you feeling empty.
  • Why doing the “right things” for God without true connection can turn your faith into a checklist.
  • The sneaky ways shame, perfectionism, and fear of rejection keep you spiritually stuck.
  • Practical steps to replace transactional faith with real relationship and transformation.
  • A powerful reflection on the older brother in the story of the Prodigal Son—and how his obedience became a burden.


Whether you’ve been feeling dry in your prayer life, struggling with burnout from over-serving, or wrestling with feeling like God isn’t showing up, this episode will help you identify what’s been sabotaging your spiritual growth—and give you tools to break free.
