Why do so many Christians feel stuck in a cycle of "Churchianity" without ever experiencing true transformation? Today, Ben Derrick joins Roane and Eva Hunter to break down the "10 Stops" of the Christian journey and explain why 90% of believers stall out before reaching deep intimacy with God. If you’ve ever felt like your faith is "a mile wide and an inch deep," this conversation is for you. We explore the critical role of personal brokenness, the "dark night of the soul," and how the very things we try to hide—like addiction and betrayal—can actually become the gateway to a profound love for God.
