Episode notes
God's Controlled Breaking Process
- God targets the specific area that hinders His purpose and arranges pressure to mature us.
- He controls the tools, amount of pressure, and timing to shape our character.
Strength Can Mask Resistance
- Strong personalities often evade God's breaking by exerting willpower, busyness, or manipulation.
- That escape keeps pride and rebellion intact rather than producing the intended surrender.

- His flight illustrates how running from God multiplies pressure instead of removing it.
