We all know what it’s like to put something on that doesn’t fit, and that isn’t really us.
A version of ourselves meant to fit in, keep the peace, or get what we think we need.
In this message from Genesis 27, we step into a family story that feels uncomfortably familiar. A story about favoritism, fear, control, and the quiet ways pretending starts to shape our lives.
The Cost of Pretending looks at what happens when good intentions drift into unhealthy patterns and when chasing blessing starts to cost us our honesty, our peace, and our trust.
It speaks to anyone who feels tired of managing outcomes, wearing masks, or trying to earn what they hope will finally make them feel secure.
Whether you’re close to faith, curious about Jesus, or carrying family baggage you didn’t ask for, this message points to a deeper hope.
One where you don’t have to fake your way into love, belonging, or blessing. One where you can authentically be who God intended for you to be without pretending.
