The Self-Help Lie Christians Are Falling For

Send us a text

Are Christians falling for the self-help trap?

Everywhere you look, the culture screams “optimize yourself”—through books, coaching, morning routines, even AI telling you how to live. But here’s the truth: no planner, no hack, no “reset routine” will ever give you the peace and purpose your soul is craving.

In this episode of The Thought Vault, I’m unpacking the self-help lie Christians are falling for—and showing you why surrendering to Christ, not striving harder, is the only way to lasting transformation.

📖 We’ll cover:
✅ The 3 warning signs you’ve been discipled by hustle culture more than by Jesus
✅ Why Scripture—not self-help—is the foundation for real change
✅ How trials, pruning, and surrender prepare us better than productivity ever could
✅ The cultural lies in today’s news and self-help industry—and how to spot them
