Are You Creating Space for God to Show Off? (4 Times I Self Sabotaged)

Are You Creating Space for God to Show Off? (4 Times I Self Sabotaged)

God is a show off. Our world obsessed with self-promotion and personal branding. The idea of being “seen” can feel overwhelming, even paralyzing. For many, especially those of faith, the tension between humility and visibility is so real. But what if being seen isn’t about self-glorification at all? What if it’s about creating space for God to show off. He demonstrates His power in remarkable ways—from the ten plagues in Exodus to everyday moments of provision in 2026. This episode is your permission (and plea) to stop putting God in a box and instead create space for Him to work through your struggles with visibility, fear, and self-doubt.

Accountability: The Glow Up Step You’re Skipping | 1 Samuel 15

We love to talk about the "big" sins like they’re the only thing keeping us from faith and identity alignment, but let’s talk about the real stronghold: pride and that "ask for forgiveness, not permission" energy.  In this episode, we’re moving through the science of it all: the prefrontal cortex and why your 25+ year old brain is still struggling to choose the Tree of Life over your own "good ideas." We look at Saul’s disobedience and how even the wild story of Tamar shows how God can take our tenacity and redeem it for His purposes. This isn't about being "well-behaved," rather it's about shifting your identity and belonging back to the One who actually knows and sees you.  00:00 Intro 00:35 Dirty Room 05:31 Pride and Rebellion 07:03 1 Samuel 15 11:02 Human Development 19:53 Redemption 21:06 Acts 9 23:44 Genesis 38 31:03 Accountability 32:29 Jeremiah 18 33:43 Action Steps This podcast is hosted by Tahjma VanBuren, produced and managed by the iMoves Management team. imovesmanagement.com [https://imovesmanagement.com]

What Do Tyra Banks, Diddy, and You Have in Common? | Genesis 16 | El Roi

Actually, you're not naggy for wanting to be truly seen. It’s literally your biology! We’re getting a little technical with the science of attachment, autonomy, and identity. Plus, I’m putting Tyra Banks and Diddy under the microscope to show how unchecked pride and the need to be desired can detrimental. I'll point all of this back to Hagar of Genesis 16 to remind us that God is "El Roi"— God who truly sees us, especially when the world doesn't. 00:00:42 - The science of attachment vs. autonomy 00:07:24 - Brené Brown 00:10:16 - Tyra Banks, America's Next Top Model, and Diddy 00:15:39 - Hagar, Sarai, Abram and El Roi 00:19:17 - Affirmation & Action This podcast is hosted by Tahjma VanBuren.
