Whispering aches, a cavern craving meaning and purpose within you. There are barriers you can't seem to move past. But you have the power to overcome them.
It's time to shatter the barriers holding you back and boldly step into the abundant life God designed for you.

This 40-day devotional, the first of a three-part series, is a guide to breaking through psychological barriers that keep us from living out the fruits of the Spirit. With scripture, practical application, self-affirmation statements, reflection, and guided journaling, you'll be equipped to overcome the obstacles to achieving fruitful living and relationships.
Don't settle for a life of emptiness and unfulfillment. Embrace self-care, spiritual transformation, and the fullness of God's blessings. It’s time to start Busting Barriers and unleash fruitful living.
