When Help Feels Like A Hard Ask


Listen Later

Struggling to ask for help? In this episode of ChOP, we explore the courage it takes to say, “I can’t do this alone.” Whether you're a mom, a leader, or just tired of being the strong one, this episode reminds you that help is holy — and you were never meant to carry it all alone.


💛 Episode Summary

This quick but powerful episode touches a nerve many of us avoid: asking for help. In a world that praises independence and perfection, it can feel weak to admit we’re struggling. But the truth? There’s strength in surrender. The host speaks vulnerably about the walls we build, the pride we protect, and the freedom that comes when we finally let others in — and let God hold what we can’t carry.


This ChOP moment is a permission slip: You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. You’re not failing — you’re human.


🔑 Key Takeaways

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of wisdom.


Sometimes we delay healing because we fear appearing needy.


God often answers our prayers through people — don’t block the blessing.


Vulnerability opens the door for deeper support and connection.


Rest starts with honesty.
