The Hidden Obstacles to Your Breakthrough // Marcus Warner

Why do we get stuck in the same struggles year after year—even as Christians longing for freedom? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Marcus Warner, president of Deeper Walk International, to unpack why so many of us stall out in our spiritual growth and how we can move toward real breakthrough. Together, we explore the “five engines” that drive our emotions and shape our transformation—our bodies, beliefs, bonds, the Holy Spirit, and spiritual warfare. With Marcus’ wisdom and practical insight, we learn how to replace fear with joy, uncover the lies we’ve believed, and embrace a deeper, more relational walk with God. If you’ve ever wondered why your growth feels stalled or how to move past long-standing struggles, this conversation offers hope, clarity, and a fresh path forward.
