49 | How People Pleasing Replaces True Worship

from You Don’t Fit In Podcast | Identity in Christ, Biblical Confidence, Freedom from Guilt, Healing from Shame, Closer with God · host Helen Siemens

We have all done it. You feel the nudge to say yes. Or to say no. You feel the pull to speak up. Or to stay quiet. And deep down, you already know what the right thing is. So why is it so hard to do it? Often, it's not confusion. It's fear. In this episode, I talk about how people pleasing quietly takes the place of true worship. How it disguises itself as humility, service, or being nice, while slowly shifting our focus off of God and onto ourselves. We look at how fear of people shows up in everyday decisions. The yes we did not mean to give. The gift we keep hidden. The obedience we avoid because we do not want to be seen, judged, or misunderstood. If you find yourself managing approval more than trusting God, this episode will help you see what's really happening and how to begin redirecting your worship back where it belongs. God Bless!
