Most people feel the surface loss of starting over spiritually — the frustration, the embarrassment, the discouragement. But the cycle is costing you far more than you realize. In this episode, Dr. Harris unpacks the three hidden costs of the cycle: what it steals from your identity, what it does to your relationship with God, and how it compounds over time to rob you of spiritual momentum. Rooted in Jeremiah 17:7-8, this episode is the honest reckoning that makes the breakthrough possible.
SCRIPTURE REFERENCED
