Hey friend,

In this episode, Avery and Samantha delve into the profound journey of moving from a performance-driven relationship with God to truly experiencing His unconditional love.

Avery shares her background as a pastor’s kid and how, despite knowing about God all her life, it wasn’t until she was freed from the cycle of performance that she truly felt His love. She discusses how this shift transformed her understanding of God's love—from something to earn, to something to experience deeply. Samantha echoes these sentiments, reflecting on her own struggles with striving and how breaking free from this mindset led her to a deeper, more intimate relationship with God.

The conversation emphasizes the importance of knowing God's love beyond just intellectual understanding. Both hosts explore the challenges many believers face in truly feeling loved by God and discuss how a shift in mindset and heartset can radically transform one's faith journey.

Avery and Samantha's conversation is a heartfelt call to break free from the cycle of performance and to embrace the fullness of God's love, leading to a more authentic and joyful relationship with Him. Praying this episode encourages you and points you back to the heart of our Father.

Until next time, Sam
