Beware of being the answer people seek: you risk spreading confusion and feeding your ego. – Amanda Sharp

Are we truly helping people, or are we feeding our ego?

In this episode, we unpack the hidden dangers of becoming “the person with all the answers.”

We talk about why constantly giving advice can actually create confusion, block someone’s calling, and place us in a role we were never meant to fill.

We explore the art of asking better questions, why spiritual leadership should always lead people back to God, and how unchecked ego can quietly sabotage both our growth and theirs.

This conversation dives into:

• Why people seek answers from others instead of stepping into their purpose

• How giving advice can accidentally fuel fear, resistance, and confusion

• The importance of humility in leadership, ministry, and relationships

• Letting God guide instead of relying on human approval

• The danger of finding identity in being “the helper”

• Vision boards, dream boards, and letting God breathe life into the dreams He gave you

• How waiting, timing, faith, and consistency build a calling• Why keeping big dreams private during early stages protects your purpose

• The value of journaling, self-reflection, and letting God speak without outside noiseWe also share the behind-the-scenes story of how this podcast came to life, the lessons we learned from creating it quietly, and how every skill, setback, and season prepared us for this project.

If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, over-explaining, giving too much advice, or feeling responsible for someone else’s transformation, this episode will challenge you to step back, listen deeper, slow down, and reconnect with God’s direction rather than human opinions.
