About this listen

When spiritual language is actually just emotional avoidance… in a Bible verse costume.

As always, we’re serving up a spicy meatball—and today’s topic is one that’s way too common in Christian culture but rarely confronted: 👉 Spiritual avoidance.

It’s the subtle art of sounding healed while still hiding. And let’s be honest—Christian culture has become fluent in this.

You’ve probably heard it (or said it): “I gave it to God.” “I’ve forgiven them.” “Let go and let God.”

But if your heart still feels shut down, your emotions stay buried, and your “breakthrough” feels more like burnout—you’re not walking in freedom… you're avoiding transformation.

🔥 In this episode, we unpack:

  • What spiritual avoidance actually looks like in real life
  • 4 common Christian phrases that sound holy but block healing
  • The emotional immaturity underneath spiritual performance
  • Why Jesus never bypassed pain—and why we shouldn’t either
  • How to tell if you’re actually avoiding the very thing God wants to heal
  • Practical, Spirit-led questions to begin your breakthrough
