In this eye-opening episode of Malaika, the talk show for African Christian women, we confront a popular yet subtle trend: personal growth or "becoming the best version of yourself." With a booming self-help industry influencing even the church through goal-setting, mindset shifts, hustle culture, and "unlocking your potential", is this biblical transformation, or a modern twist on the prosperity gospel that shifts focus from Christ to self?

Join host Jackie, Mama Audrey, Auntie Zod, Tatiana, and special guest Pastor Miki Hardy as we examine the pitfalls of self-centered development, the true meaning of Christian growth (maturity, humility, obedience, and Christlikeness), and why lasting change comes only through surrender to Jesus, not striving in our own strength.
