Stop Calling It "Service" If It’s Actually Survival
Are you physically unable to say "no" to church requests? Do you feel a wave of panic when someone asks you to volunteer, but your mouth says "yes" before your brain can stop it? You might not just be a "nice person" or have a "servant's heart"—you might be stuck in a trauma response called Fawning.
In this video, we unmask the "Good Christian" disguise that keeps many believers burnt out, resentful, and spiritually exhausted. We’ll look at why your nervous system views boundaries as "danger," and how to distinguish between biblical sacrifice and trauma-driven people-pleasing.
In this video, we cover:
The difference between a "Servant’s Heart" and the "Fawn" Trauma Response.
The Automatic Amen: Why you agree to things before you even think.
The Martyr’s Resentment: Why you feel angry while you serve (and why that's not a sin).
Practical Scripts: How to say "No" without feeling like a "bad Christian."
