34. Christians Are Spiritually Suffocating (Because Churches Forget This)

Why are so many Christians spiritually suffocating today?

In this video, we explore how discouragement is quietly killing courage in the Church—and why true biblical encouragement is far more than positive thinking or soft preaching. Looking at Nehemiah 8, we’ll see how God’s Word both convicts and strengthens, and why conviction without joy leads to spiritual exhaustion.

Too often, churches forget that encouragement is not fluff — it’s fuel. Without it, self-righteousness creeps in, guilt hardens hearts, and many silently drift away from God’s call. From Frodo’s need for Sam to Jesus confronting self-righteous Pharisees, we’ll unpack why no Christian can thrive alone and why courage always requires community.

If you feel stuck, spiritually empty, or unsure how to move forward — this message will help you understand what’s missing, and how God invites you to raise your sails again.
