456: When “Safe Spaces” Sabotage Growth. Katie Davis Majors on False Cliché Christianity, Preventing Bitterness in Your Heart, and When Empathy Hinders Transformation

Podcast · September 17, 2025

We say we want transformation, but often we create environments that protect people from pain instead of preparing them for growth. In the process, we enable spiritual stagnation, emotional fragility, and shallow discipleship. This week on Win Today, Katie Davis Majors exposes the hidden dangers of well-meaning empathy, the false security of “safe spaces,” and the clichés that erode authentic faith.

In this conversation, we’ll also tackle how to live faithfully in the tension between what God has promised and what we see right now. If you’ve ever found yourself numbing pain instead of processing it, or if you’ve settled for comfort instead of maturity, this conversation will challenge you to grow, even when it costs you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Why some “safe spaces” keep us spiritually stuck
  • How unchecked empathy can replace biblical transformation
  • The real cost of bitterness, and how to uproot it
  • Why clichés are poison to discipleship
  • How to live faithfully in the tension of unanswered prayers
