Summary
We've called it emotional intelligence. We've called it self-awareness. But what if the story you're telling yourself—the one you rehearse in your head day after day—isn't making you healthier? It's keeping you sick. This week, Rita Springer joins Win Today for an unfiltered, emotionally disruptive conversation about the link between obedience and mental health. Because here's the truth: peace doesn't come from managing your anxiety better. Peace comes from surrender. And when we treat obedience like a suggestion instead of a lifeline, we stay stuck in cycles of emotional chaos, calling it healing when it's really avoidance.

| 0:45.8 | you've prayed through the pain, but here's the problem. You know it to be true. You're still |
| 0:50.2 | emotionally hijacked. You're still reacting to life, not living it. Why? Because you're still |

| 1:30.4 | You know, we're talking about the lies you've made sacred today. Yep, we're shining a mirror |
