Episode 204: The Natural Man, the Enemy to Your Mental Health with the Sister Connection

Jun 12, 2025
 

                     

 

 

 

Let's talk about something that has caused so many faithful women to feel like they’re failing: the natural man.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, worthless or frustrated with yourself, this episode is for you. We’re talking about the natural man, not as something to shame or fix, but as an essential part of God’s plan for your growth.

The natural man is the built-in opposition that gives us the ability to feel pain and joy, to struggle and choose. It’s not a flaw in your design. It’s the process that shapes you.

This episode will help you understand the natural man as part of God’s plan to help you grow, stretch, and use your agency to choose Him. Come listen in. Hopefully you’ll walk away with more peace and a fresh perspective.
