"Grow up. Stand up on your own two feet. Look out for number one. Don't let anyone take advantage of you."

These are the messages we are taught by our families, friends, schools, universities, media and culture. Oftentimes it's well-meaning and sometimes even good advice....until our broken hearts distort, abuse, and take it too far. Then it begins to cripple us, steal from us, and keep us from growing spiritually.

In this interview with Mandy Mercado, we discuss the lie of independence that our hearts get captured by too often -- and which God wants to free us from.
