The Most Dangerous Lie Christians Believe - Spiritually Fit Today

Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest John Comstock. In this episode we explore the corrosive voice of shame—how “I’m not enough” blocks love, shuts down empathy, and distorts identity—and how Jesus’ example in Hebrews 12:2 reframes our worth and belonging. John, who grew up in a Christian home, shares from his own struggles with OCD and anxiety and his work in discipleship at the Global Ministry Center (Church of the Nazarene). 4 R Practices Read: Hebrews 12:2: "Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Reflect: Ask, “When did I start believing ‘I’m not enough?’ Who told me that?” and notice how shame affects your relationships and ability to receive love. Respond: Short prayer — Lord Jesus, shine your light into every dark corner where shame whispers “not enough.” Help us receive your love, remember your acceptance, and live from our true identity in you. Amen. Reveal: Share one of your top three “I’m not enough” lies with a trusted friend or mentor and ask them to remind you of God’s truth; practice listening to others without judgment.
