For years, I believed the voice in my head was telling the truth.
Grief, burnout, fear all speak in the same tone.
“You’re failing.”
“You’re stuck.”
“You’ll never change.”

I had to learn how to retrain that voice, one thought at a time.
Inside The Conviction Method, we use a simple rhythm:
Catch the lie. Speak three truths. Repeat until the truth feels like home.

If your inner voice has been pushing you down, this piece is for you.

Letting go isn’t quitting.
There’s a difference between surrender and defeat.
I learned that the hard way.

For years I held everything in a tight grip; ministry, career, identity, the future. I thought control would keep me safe. It didn’t. It made me smaller.

It wasn’t until I loosened my grip that strength started to return, slowly and quietly.

I wrote about this journey, and the difference between holding on and letting go.

If you’re carrying more than your soul was built to hold, this is for you.

Awareness · Release · Rebuilding

How strength, stillness, and spiritual clarity restore a life that actually works

Most people try to outwork misalignment. I did too. The path back was simple, not easy: Awareness. Release. Rebuilding. It is the backbone of The Conviction Method at Lion & Light Co., and it is the road I had to walk myself.
