Excellence vs Obsession
from NextGen Kingdom Leaders · host Jason Lollar
🔑 Key ThemeIn your twenties, ambition is natural—and even good. But there’s a fine line between pursuing excellence for God and becoming obsessed with proving your worth through your work.💡 Big Idea - Excellence honors God. Obsession replaces Him.Excellence = “I’ll give my best because God is worthy.” Obsession = “I have to prove that I am worthy.” 📖 Biblical Anchor - Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…” It doesn’t say: work to prove yourself It says: work as worship🔄 Identity ShiftExcellence flows from identity (you are already loved by God) Obsession tries to earn identity (you need to prove your worth) 🛠️ Practical TakeawaysThis week: ✅ Do great work—be disciplined, reliable, and committed ✅ Grow your skills and pursue excellence ❌ Don’t tie your value to your output
