The personal development world has convinced you that success depends on optimization, self-improvement, and becoming the “best version of yourself.”

But here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Self-improvement can easily become self-worship.
And when it does, it pulls you into mixture — a blend of ambition, ego, and self-reliance that leaves you spiritually exhausted and disconnected from God.

In today’s episode, we take a sharp, honest look at how to grow without drifting away from Christ. If you love personal development but hate the emptiness and pressure it brings, this will hit home.

You’ll learn:

✅ The difference between self-help growth and God-centered transformation
✅ Why success without surrender will never satisfy you (Matthew 16:25)
✅ How to align your goals and ambitions with God’s purpose (Matthew 6:33)
✅ What Scripture actually teaches about discipline + training (1 Corinthians 9:24–27)
✅ The one mindset shift that turns growth into worship, not willpower

This is not a motivational message.
 It’s a biblical recalibration — helping you think clearer, grow deeper, and pursue maturity without slipping into worldly striving.

📖 Key Verse:
“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6

💬 Reflection Question:
What’s one area of personal development God is asking you to surrender?

If you’re ready to renew your mind God’s way — and pursue growth without mixture — this episode will shift your entire framework.

5 Powerful Tools to Stay Present & Authentic at Work (Especially When You’ve Been Through Hell)

Follow Along — Download the Questions & Tools:
 http://elizabethlouis.ac-page.com/followalong

Most believers don’t struggle at work because they’re unqualified.
They struggle because their nervous system is still reacting to old battles while they’re standing in new rooms — and no one ever trained them how to stay present without abandoning themselves.

In this episode, we go straight into the real battle:
 Why your mind drifts, why you disconnect, and why certain environments trigger old strongholds — even when you love Jesus and are leading at a high level.
I give you five Kingdom-rooted tools to stay grounded, clear, and authentic when pressure hits.

You’ll learn how trauma, personality wiring, spiritual roots, and performance pressure all collide — and how to anchor yourself in truth so you can show up as the heavenly-class version of you, not the triggered version.
This is deep, biblical, and fully practical — the kind of spiritual maturity training your audience expects from you.

Last week, on the way to a massage, a random country song triggered a revelation that hit me like a ton of bricks:

“Thank You, God, that every man who broke my heart… did.
 Because it meant I got to become his wife.”

In this vulnerable, long-form episode, I’m sharing:

• how God used years of heartbreak, disappointment, and even a toxic, abusive first marriage to protect what I’m living in now
• why my second marriage already feels radically different (14 days in)
• the painful cost of divorce in Christian culture and how the Church often mishandles it
• how God’s “no” and redirection didn’t make sense then, but reveals His goodness now
• why pain can be both real and still part of God’s protection and provision
• how emotional immaturity and unhealed history make it hard to trust God’s timing

We’ll also zoom out beyond romantic heartbreak to talk about any disappointment that feels like “God let me down” — and I’ll challenge you to ask:

What if the thing you’re angry at God about today is the thing you’ll thank Him for five years from now?

If you want help understanding your emotions and what’s actually happening inside of you — the real roots, patterns, and reasons you react the way you do — that’s exactly why I created Navigating Emotions The Jesus Way.

It’s not coping. It’s not positive thinking.
 It’s a biblical, practical framework for walking through your emotions with God instead of being confused or ruled by them.

Most people can spot passive aggressiveness in others…
But very few ever stop and ask:
“What if I’m the one doing it — and I don’t even see it?”

In today’s episode, we’re going deep into the spiritual, psychological, and generational roots behind passive-aggressive behavior. This is not a surface-level talk — we’re uncovering what Scripture calls motives, strongholds, and patterns of the flesh so you can walk in maturity, freedom, and the mind of Christ.

You’ll learn:

✨ Why passive aggressiveness is often an unconscious defense
✨ The 4 spiritual strongholds commonly behind it (pride, fear, control, resentment)
✨ How your family lineage shapes your emotional reactions
✨ Why correction feels like attack — and how to break the cycle
✨ How to humble your heart before God without collapsing into shame
✨ How to communicate like Christ without being passive, weak, or avoidant
✨ Powerful biblical reflections to help you grow in emotional and spiritual maturity

If you’re ready to disrupt old patterns, stop sabotaging your relationships, and walk in the maturity God designed for you — this episode is for you.
