Hey fam 💬
This video is part Bible study, part personal testimony. I’m inviting you into a real-time moment of conviction, reflection, and vulnerability around how perfectionism can mask itself as ambition — but what it’s really doing is pulling us away from obedience.
We’ll explore what it means to overcome timidity by facing the fears we often excuse. The distractions we justify and lead us further from what God already said.
This is SoUL.
Not a cozy sit-down, but a heart-check.
A space for accountability, vulnerability, and unconditional love.
A reminder that conviction is not condemnation — it’s a call to come closer.
📖 Key Scriptures
• 2 Timothy 1:6–7 — Fan the flame
• 2 Timothy 2:15 — Work hard to be approved
• Matthew 6:33 — Seek first the Kingdom
• Luke 10:38–42 — Mary vs. Martha
🗣️ Reflection Prompts:
• What have you been using as a distraction from what God already revealed?
• Are you following His Will or your own will?
• What does obedience look like for you in this season?
If this word speaks to you, share it with someone who needs accountability and encouragement today. 🤍
