How to Choose God Over Comfort, Clout, and Culture || The Higher Pursuit || Cecily Lachapelle

Send us a text

There comes a point in every believer’s journey when we have to ask a deeper question:
 Am I pursuing God Himself… or am I simply pursuing the things around Him?

In this episode, I’m opening up about the quiet drift that can take place in our spiritual lives—the subtle, “counterfeit pursuits” that fill our schedules but empty our hearts. These are the moments when we look devoted on the outside, yet feel disconnected on the inside.

Together, we’ll walk through:

• How good activities can become substitutes for true intimacy
 • Signs that your heart is being pulled toward imitation rather than relationship
 • Why pursuing God brings clarity, strength, and inner rest
 • The freedom that comes when you return to your first Love
 • How purpose becomes clearer when performance stops leading the way

This conversation is an invitation back to the center—back to the One who calls, restores, and anchors your soul. Whether you’re leading, serving, healing, or rebuilding, this message will help you realign your heart with God’s presence above everything else.
