Three things that will keep us from growing

Johnny Baker discusses three things that can keep us from achieving personal growth in the new year. The first is staying stuck in the pain or nostalgia of the past. The second is worrying too much about the future. The third is not living in the present moment. Baker emphasizes the importance of dealing with past pain, trusting in God's provision for the future, and focusing on making positive changes in the present. He encourages listeners to take one day at a time and seek growth in their relationships, faith, and personal development.
