"Spiritual bypassing" refers to the act of using spiritual beliefs or practices to avoid confronting and dealing with unresolved emotional issues, psychological wounds, or personal challenges, essentially using spirituality as a way to sidestep difficult feelings rather than working through them healthily; it's considered a form of avoidance mechanism. Join us as we discuss how not to use our faith to evade a trial that may be ordained by God. We discuss how to stay authentic in our faith as we endure a trial and how to appropriately respond to others going through sufferings or trial.
