S2.03 - Is Jealousy a Sign From God?

The church told you jealousy is a sin to be confessed and buried. But what if it's actually one of the most honest prayers you'll ever pray? Jealousy doesn't lie. It tells you exactly what you want, and exactly what you don't believe you're allowed to have. And when you stop trying to kill it and start getting curious about it, it becomes one of the most powerful tools for spiritual growth you've never been taught to use. In this episode, Laura shares a personal story about sitting across from a woman living the life she wanted, and the spiral of comparison, self-doubt, and buried belief that followed. Instead of letting it consume her, she used it. And what she discovered changed her prayer life, her self-perception, and her relationship with God. You'll learn how to decode the beliefs hiding inside your jealousy, why Brené Brown calls it "fear in disguise," how to use it as a mirror instead of a weapon, and how God used a baby gate and a dog to show Laura something she'd been missing about her own life. Jealousy isn't a sickness. It's a symptom , and it's pointing you somewhere important. This episode shows you where.   #faithcrisis #spiritualcrisis #doubtisnottheenemy #leavingchurch #churchtrauma #religioustrauma #deconstruction
