A Christian woman gave a powerful reminder to those who are hurting to stop building walls and trust in God’s protection.
Stop Building Walls
A Christian podcast host, Jin Choi, discussed trusting in God’s protection. She encouraged people to stop using armor that would cause them to stumble in the end, whether in the form of building emotional walls, engaging in relationships, or other things. With a humble heart, she admitted that one of her major defense mechanisms was putting up emotional and psychological walls to protect herself. She would force herself not to cry, thinking it was normal.
For example, during her high school years, she would only truly cry when alone in her room. Growing up, she didn’t allow herself to express or feel her emotions, believing it was her way of self-protection. She even took pride in not feeling anything.
“If I think about people’s actions affecting me, I would be broken,” she recalled.

Trust God’s Protection
Furthermore, she emphasized, “It takes a lot of faith to allow people to hurt you and trust that God is going to hold you in the midst of that.” Then, she highlighted that God could give His people a great sense of peace and protection. She reminded her listeners to build trust in God.
Moreover, she explained, “We need to show that other people are taking steps of faith and God is worth putting our faith in.” Then, she shared with her podcast followers to make prayer their first choice every time they feel overwhelmed by their situation. She also advised them to stop allowing temporary pleasures to fill their hearts.
“If you take that step of faith that He is going to be the God that protects you, you will experience it when He does,” she remarked.
