Welcome to Day 11, where we’re tackling something many struggle with—people-pleasing.
Somewhere along the way, we started believing that our worth was tied to approval. We'll feel valuable and secure if we say the right things, meet expectations, and never disappoint anyone. But chasing people’s approval will always leave us exhausted and empty.
✨ Galatians 1:10 reminds us:
“Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ."
Episode Highlights:
💛 Why people-pleasing is a trap – The exhausting cycle of seeking approval
💛 The conflict between fear and faith – You can’t serve God fully while living for opinions
💛 The pressure to meet expectations – How people-pleasing distorts our identity
💛 God’s approval vs. human validation – Finding true security in Him
💛 How to walk in freedom – Practical ways to stop striving for approval and rest in God’s truth
