Have you ever prayed for something—only to push it away when it finally arrived? For years, I didn’t realize how often fear was causing me to reject the very things I’d been asking God for. I thought I was protecting myself, but in reality, I was self-sabotaging. God recently revealed that what I called “caution” was really mistrust—of Him, of others, and even of myself.In this first episode of Garden Within, I’m opening up about how God used a single moment to show me the truth about my patterns of self-sabotage—and how He’s been teaching me to trust again. Together, we’ll talk about what self-sabotage really looks like, how fear distorts our attachment to God and others, and how His perfect love heals those wounds.If you’ve ever fumbled a blessing out of fear, overthought your way out of peace, or doubted that you were ready for what you prayed for—this one’s for you.
