Do more. Try harder. Clean yourself up.
Sound familiar?
We’ve all been there—wondering what God really wants from us. Not what religion says. Not what other people demand. But what God Himself actually expects.
In this episode of Grace Uncensored, Billy McDonald invites you into a radically freeing perspective on what God truly desires—straight from the Scriptures.
Drawing from John 6, Micah 6, Hebrews 11, and Romans 12 (NASB), this episode unpacks:
Why God’s one expectation is belief—not performance
What it means to walk humbly with God, not strive for Him
How faith—not formula—pleases God
Why transformation is a response to grace, not a requirement for it
You’ll also hear a heartwarming illustration about a little girl at her piano recital—and how it mirrors the way God sees you, even when you mess up.
Bottom line?
God isn’t after your perfection.
He’s after your presence, your faith, and your heart.
Scriptures:
John 6:28–29
Micah 6:6–8
Hebrews 11:6
Romans 12:1–2 (NASB)
Stop performing.
Let go of pressure.
Start living loved.
