7. Release the Religious Pressure
from Live Lovely Hosted by Courtney Means
In this episode, I stepped out to talk about something controversial yet very important to me: the control of religion. I hope to relieve either self-imposed pressure or pressure from the collective, or body of believers. For me, being a Jesus-follower is not about a set of do's and don't or should's and should not's - instead I see following Jesus as simply obeying God's commands and the gray areas become a matter of the heart: why you do what you do. Releasing pressure is not easy, as a recovering people-pleaser and religious-duty-performer, it confronts your history, present and future. The goal of this episode is to free you up from the control of others, to encourage you to read the Bible for the truth that it really says and freedom it brings and not someone else's interpretation of what God says through their lens. If you disagree with me, that's okay - let's talk about it.
