Your Problem is YOU | Shannon O'Dell

Nobody wants to hear it. But James says it anyway — most of your relationship conflict starts with you.

In week four of Bunk Bed Diaries, we dig into James chapter 4 and get honest about what's really driving the fights, the frustration, and the unmet expectations in our lives. The good news? The same chapter that exposes the problem also hands you the antidote.

From learning how to actually pray, to understanding why pride puts you in God's crosshairs, to the four simple steps that flip the switch from being opposed by God to being favored by Him — this is some of the most practical truth in the whole book.

In this message:

• Why the root of most conflict is unmet needs in you, not something they did
• How to pray backward, upward, inward, outward, and forward — and what the "hand prayer" is all about
• What it means that God "opposes the proud" (hint: it means He's actively stiff-arming you)
• The signs of pride you might not recognize in yourself — competition, stubbornness, superficiality
• The antidote: submit, resist, draw near — and what that actually looks like on a Tuesday
