What’s Keeping You Stuck? (Hint: It’s Not God)

What’s Keeping You Stuck? (Hint: It’s Not God)

Author: Jessica Hottle | Christian Life Coach, Spiritual Growth Mentor, Christian Mental Health Coach, Christian Counseling June 4, 2025 Duration: 14:03
Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things - praying, trying to trust God, maybe even journaling or setting goals - but you’re still stuck in the same place emotionally or spiritually? You’re not alone. A lot of us assume if we’re not moving forward, it must be a lack of faith. But sometimes, what’s actually keeping us stuck isn’t our faith at all - it’s a quiet belief under the surface that’s holding us back. Not something obvious, but something internal that needs a little more attention and a lot more grace.

Rooting for you,
