Episode Synopsis

Are you spiritually busy but emotionally empty? In this episode, Dr. Sharla continues the Four Horsemen of Spiritual Sabotage series with the final two patterns that may be keeping you stuck in cycles of performance and shallow repentance: Performance Without Purpose and Confession Without Conviction. These aren't obvious sins—they're subtle saboteurs that look like faithfulness but leave you exhausted, bitter, and disconnected from God.Drawing from scripture, clinical insight, and lived experience, Dr. Sharla reveals how these horsemen feed on religious pressure, trauma conditioning, and spiritual perfectionism—and how you can break free.Inside This Episode: What performance-based faith really looks like—and why it’s stealing your joyHow confession can become a form of avoidance when it lacks conviction and actionThe emotional roots behind these patterns, including rejection, people-pleasing, and shameWhy Martha was overwhelmed, but Mary was transformed—a fresh look at Luke 10How to shift from religious hustle to relational rest through unproductive prayer, redefined success, and identity as God’s daughterIf you’re stuck in a cycle of doing, striving, and confessing—but never seeing lasting change—this episode will give you the clarity and tools to expose the lies, break the patterns, and rebuild your faith with intention, freedom, and intimacy with God.“Confession without change isn’t humility—it’s sabotage.
