What makes us settle for less than God’s best? Is it fear of being overlooked, or the belief that we don’t deserve more? In this episode, I’m digging into the subtle ways we pick up this mindset and how it quietly shapes our decisions.
We’ll talk about the patterns and experiences that feed these beliefs, the ways we try to control outcomes, and how that control often leads to disappointment. Through scripture, especially the story of the prodigal son, we’ll uncover the truth about God’s heart for us—His love, provision, and desire for us to live in His best.
I’ll also share practical tips for recognizing when you’re settling, trusting God’s will, and embracing the life He’s preparing for you.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re truly deserving of more, this episode is for you. Let’s remind our hearts of the truth: we are worthy of God’s best.
