Control Is Not A Spiritual Gift
Control can look like strength. Like discipline. Like “having it all together.” But if we’re honest…sometimes control is just fear in disguise. In this episode of The Becoming Era, I’m joined by Britni Harris of Essence Wellness Counseling as we unpack the tension between faith, healing, and the need to stay in control. Because somewhere along the way, many of us learned that holding everything together was the safest way to live. Controlling our emotions. Controlling our environment. Controlling outcomes. Even trying to control how God moves. But control isn’t peace. And it’s definitely not a spiritual gift. In this conversation, we talk about:• Where the need for control actually comes from• How anxiety and past experiences shape our need to hold on• The difference between wisdom and control• What it looks like to trust God without feeling like you’re losing yourself• And how to begin releasing control in a healthy, practical way. This episode is honest, grounded, and necessary. Because healing isn’t just about letting go…it’s about learning how to trust again.🎙 Guest: Britni Harris, Essence Wellness Counseling🎧 Part of The Becoming Era: A Reintroduction Series. If you’ve ever felt like everything falls apart when you’re not in control…this conversation is for you.

You Can't Hide Behind Brokenness
Many of us say we're healing, but are we actually doing the work — or just using pain as a shield? Erica Culclasure pulls back the curtain on the subtle ways we hide from true restoration, exposing how brokenness can become a decoration we cling to for justification. If you've been stuck in cycles of trauma, shame, abandonment, or bitterness, this episode will challenge you to ask the hard question: Am I truly healing or am I just hiding? In this episode, Erica shares her own journey of confronting toxic patterns that kept her in survival mode for years. She breaks down how we justify our pain and stay stagnant—saying "I'm in my healing era" while still acting out of brokenness. You'll discover concrete signs of hiding, and biblical insights, highlighting Jesus’ approach to healing in John 5, to demonstrate that real transformation demands action, obedience, and surrender—not just spiritual labels. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone tired of circle of frustration, waiting for change while doing the same things over and over. Perfect for believers who are ready to move past surface-level faith and actually allow God to remake them. If you’re tired of pretending and eager to break free from the comfort of chaos, this message is your divine nudge to start healing for real. Are you ready to stop hiding and step into wholeness? Your breakthrough awaits. Join Erica as she challenges you to stop using brokenness as a backdrop for life and start walking in the freedom Christ offers.
