Stop Trying to Fix Yourself | Scott Venable

You are trying to achieve an identity that has already been announced. We live in a world that runs on performance currency. You get the grade after the test. You get the promotion after the results. You get the "likes" after the post. It is exhausting. But what if the order is wrong? What if the most important thing about you is spoken, not shown? In this episode, we explore the psychology of approval, the trap of performance culture, and the strange sequence of events in the life of Jesus that proves you don't need to earn your way into being loved. Reflection Questions: 1. Where in your life are you performing to earn approval rather than working from a place of joy? 2. How does your identity change if you believe you are "well pleased" before you do anything? 3. In what areas are you being "tested" right now, and how does that affect your trust? Stay Connected!
