The Relationships Keeping You from Greatness: Dr. Bell’s Raw Testimony
Episode Overview
- Be honest about the "hypocrites" and "perpetrators" in your life, especially those who benefit from your generosity without truly supporting you.
- Recognise that your children may also struggle alongside you and can become unexpected sources of spiritual strength and encouragement.
- Reflect on giving as more than money; as Dr. Bell says, Jesus asks for your whole heart, not just "10%".
- Seek spiritual leaders who meet you where you are and genuinely feed your hunger for God rather than using your situation.
- Regularly "check your spirit" and your relationships to see who is nourishing your growth and who is quietly holding you back.
“"In the new testament, Jesus became the tides and the offering... He didn't ask them for 10% no more. He asked them for all of you."”
What drives someone to seek a life without the relationships that drain them? This honest episode of Resilient Truths centres on Dr. Bell as she shares a raw testimony about faith, trust and the people who quietly hold you back from what she calls "greatness" in God. Speaking at Anointed Touch Ministries International, Dr. Bell talks openly about being "a person that wears my heart on my sleeve" and how that generosity has sometimes left her empty.
She explains how God has been "realizing the hypocrites in my life" and exposing "who's the perpetrators" around her, even among leaders who should have been supporting her. If you’ve ever felt used, overlooked or taken advantage of by people you tried to help, you’ll likely relate. Her daughter, Minister Brianna Winborn, is highlighted as a key source of strength, showing how children can step in as spiritual support when a parent is struggling.
The testimony points to the importance of raising children "in the admonition of the Lord", because they may end up ministering back to you when you least expect it. Dr. Bell also challenges common ideas about giving, saying, "In the new testament, Jesus became the tides and the offering... He didn't ask them for 10% no more.
He asked them for all of you." For her, that means checking your motives, your relationships and, as she puts it, "I suggest you check your spirit." You’ll hear about spiritual hunger, disappointment with religious leaders, and the comfort of finally meeting an apostle who "met me where I'm at" and "gave me the fellowship and the encouragement that I needed".
Anyone dealing with unhealthy ties, church hurt or emotional exhaustion might find themselves asking the same question this episode raises: who around you is feeding your spirit, and who is quietly starving it?
