Have you ever engaged in self-sabotage - acting against our own interest, the interest of those we love, or our relationship with God? Do you want to know why? Want to stop?
Most Christians don’t implode under outside pressures — we are undermined because of hidden inner struggles. This mini course will help you understand why self-sabotage happens and how to experience lasting freedom in Christ.
Your spiritual health can be revealed by asking: What am I most passionate about? What do I truly love and depend on? While most believers would say their greatest passion is for God, honest reflection often reveals deeper “ruling passions”—such as the need for approval, love, comfort, control, self-protection, or success. When these desires rule our hearts, they quietly shape our choices, distort our relationships, and sabotage our ministries.
In this three-week mini course, based on Dave’s new book, The Spiritually Healthy Leader: Finding Freedom from Self-Sabotage, you’ll learn to:
- Identify your “ruling passions” and how they drive your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
- Understand how these inner commitments can sabotage your relationships, marriage, and ministry.
- Discover the gospel path to true transformation and freedom in Christ.
Through practical insights and Christ-centered reflection, you’ll uncover the root causes of self-sabotage and receive actionable, grace-filled steps toward spiritual flourishing.
Led by counselor and author Dave Wiedis, who draws on decades of experience walking alongside Christian leaders, this course provides wise, compassionate guidance for living wholeheartedly for Christ—free from the self-sabotage of the heart.
