Building a Stronger You: The Power of Self-Discovery, Solitude & Spiritual Growth with Jeris Jayy

The Courageous Disciples Podcast

Do you truly know yourself? Many people struggle with self-awareness and avoid sitting in stillness because they don’t want to confront what’s really happening inside. But the truth is—you can’t grow, heal, or lead if you don’t first build a strong relationship with yourself.

In this episode, we dive into:
✔ Why so many people are unaware of their need for self-reflection and healing ([02:28])
✔ How past trauma and repeated patterns affect self-love
✔ The power of solitude, silence, and self-awareness in personal growth ([15:26])
✔ Why seeking mentorship, counseling, and support groups is necessary for transformation ([15:35])
✔ How faith and biblical principles provide the foundation for true self-discovery

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled to prioritize your well-being, or wondered how spending time alone can actually strengthen your relationship with God, this episode is exactly what you need.
