459: Entitlement Isn’t Faith. Gary Thomas Confronts the Lie of This Age, the Distraction of the Soul, and the Hidden Roots of Bitterness and Offense

We want God to come through, but on our terms. We demand ease, favor, instant breakthrough, and validation, and when those expectations aren’t met, we call it a trial. But what if the real trial is our refusal to lay down our entitlement? This week on Win Today, bestselling author Gary Thomas pulls no punches. He exposes the modern lie that faith means personal fulfillment, that comfort means favor, and that hardship means failure. And he shows how distraction is more than a bad habit—it’s a spiritual breakdown. Because when the soul loses its focus, bitterness, offense, and relational dysfunction are not far behind. If you’ve ever felt spiritually entitled, subtly bitter, or confused about why you’re still offended by things you “moved past,” this conversation is for you.
