Most people aren’t struggling with faith. They’re drowning in self-condemnation. In this powerful conversation, we will explore the inner critic that keeps so many of us stuck in shame, striving, and spiritual burnout. We’ll unpack the difference between living from love versus chasing worth, and explain why Jesus was drawn to authenticity over perfection. If you’ve ever felt like you're performing for God instead of walking with Him, this episode will challenge and free you in all the right ways.
