In this episode, I challenge a version of faith that many of us have unknowingly been living — a performance-based Christianity where we feel like we have to measure up, strive harder, and take control to make things happen.
But what if that’s not what God ever asked of us?
What if our faith was never meant to be about performance… but about position?
Rooted in Deuteronomy 31:1–8, we’re reminded of a powerful truth God spoke to His people then — and still speaks to us today:
He goes before us.
He fights our battles.
He is already present in what we are walking into.
The same Spirit that hovered over the waters before creation — before the earth and sun were even formed — is the Spirit that goes before you today.
In this episode, I also share personally how this truth has been anchoring me in the middle of sickness and uncertainty around my health. Instead of striving to figure everything out or control the outcome, I’m learning to trust that God has already gone ahead of me and conquered whatever I may face.
We aren’t called to be good enough.
We are called to trust the One who created us and sustains us.
In this conversation, we unpack:
• The difference between performance-based faith and living from your position in Christ
• Why striving leads to exhaustion, but trust leads to peace
• What it looks like to let go of control and follow God’s lead
• How the Holy Spirit goes before you in every situation
If you’ve been feeling like you’re constantly trying to measure up, this episode is an invitation to lay that down and step into a faith that is rooted in trust, surrender, and confidence in who God is.
You don’t have to perform.
You just have to position yourself at Jesus' feet.
