EP45. The Mountain Is You: Get Out of God’s Way.

from My Faith Is Bigger Than My Fears Podcast · host Tamela Ingram

EP45 Summary — The Mountain Is You: Get Out of God’s WayHey family, Welcome back to another episode.  In this episode of My Faith Is Bigger Than My Fears, we explore a powerful truth: sometimes the biggest obstacle in our lives isn’t the enemy, our circumstances, or other people—it’s us. I share my personal journey of realizing that I was the “mountain” standing in the way of God’s plans for me. Although I believed I trusted God, I was still holding onto control, especially in areas shaped by past trauma like finances, relationships, and generational patterns.We talk about how partial trust is still disobedience, how self-sabotage shows up in our spiritual lives, and why God will allow repeated tests until we fully surrender. Jesus tells us to “speak to the mountain,” but when the mountain is our pride, fear, impatience, or need for control, it requires us to move out of God’s way so He can move powerfully in our lives.Inspired by insights from The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest, we dive into the reality that no one holds us back more than ourselves. This episode challenges listeners to reflect, repent, and release the habits that keep them stuck.Tune in as we break down what it means to trust God completely, stop trying to do His job, and allow Him to shape us in His timing. Because when we let God be God, every mountain—external or internal—must bow.Scripture: He said to them, " Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20 ESVKey challenges this week:Study what Jesus says about mountains.Read The Mountain Is You.Identify your own patterns of self-sabotage.Join me as we learn to step aside, surrender, and let God lead.Because our faith is bigger than our fears.Listen + Subscribe:Don’t miss future episodes!
