Description

#SpiritualGrowth #SpiritualIntimacy #AskMinisterYoPodcast #YolandaBethea On today's episode, Minister Yo shared that: Believers stop growing spiritually because of: * Fear of failure (afraid to try) or disappointment (unanswered prayer) * Offense or unresolved hurt-especially Church hurt * Inconsistency without accountability-no one to disciple them * Isolation-Trying to grow alone * Lack of focus-looking at how other’s living and should focus on what God told them Ex. Jesus told Peter to feed His sheep. Peter asked Jesus what John was going to do. Key Scripture * Proverbs 4:23 – Guard your heart * Hebrews 12:1 – Weights vs sins Reframe God doesn’t expose these things to shame us — He exposes them to heal us. God shows us other believers faults so we can restore them in private-not so we can expose them to the world. God wants to protect the sheep-not scatter them.

Awareness Is True Freedom

Hello and welcome back to The Ask Minister Yo Podcast. I'm your host, Minister Yolanda Today I want to talk about something that many believers overlook, yet it is often the very thing standing between them and freedom. Awareness. The truth is you cannot heal what you refuse to acknowledge. You cannot surrender what you refuse to identify. And you cannot experience freedom in areas where you remain blind. Join The Free Indeed Collective—a free faith-based community for women who are ready to move from Awareness to Healing to Freedom. Inside, you'll find biblical teaching, encouragement, monthly coaching, and a community of women walking the same journey. Join us today at https://www.skool.com/free-indeed-collective-2197/about [https://www.skool.com/free-indeed-collective-2197/about] If you want to help us bring emotional healing to women all over the world, consider giving to Yolanda Bethea Ministries by visiting yolandabetheaministries.org [http://yolandabetheaministries.org] or CashApp: $YBetheaMinistries Remember, whom the Son sets free is free indeed

Salvation vs Discipleship: What's the Difference?

#Salvation #Discipleship #SpiritualGrowth #yolandabethea Many believers stop growing because no one ever taught them the difference between being saved and being discipled. Teaching Points * Salvation is a moment; discipleship is a journey * Jesus commanded discipleship, not decisions only * Maturity is developed, not downloaded Key Scripture * Matthew 28:19–20 – “Make disciples…” * Luke 9:23 – Daily discipleship Reframe Discipleship teaches you how to walk with God daily. Affirmation “I choose growth over comfort. I am becoming a disciple, not just a believer.” Spiritual Exercise * Reflect: What has my spiritual life mainly consisted of — sermons or structure? * Write one small daily discipleship habit you can begin this week Closing Discipleship is an invitation, not a burden.
