On this FINAL episode of Season 8, we discuss Toxic traits that we find are very important to pay attention to and how to learn to spot the traits within others around you. Toxic traits refer to habits and behaviors that harm others. It's important that we identify these traits and find the necessary steps to better ourselves. Jesus is the only true and perfect example of how we should be and act towards others (and ourselves). If you find yourself struggling with any of these toxic traits, ask God to forgive you, to renew your mind and cleanse your heart. He's got everything you need! Make sure to tune in to hear more!
