Stop letting the world approve who God already called you to be.

from Words Of Encouragement Podcast · host Frankie Lubin

Culture lied to you.It told you that success means looking rich.It told men they have to be tough, emotionless, and respected at all costs.It told women they have to be chosen, desired, married by a certain age, and valuable based on what they can attract.It told us to chase approval, image, money, popularity, relationships, and attention — while losing our identity in the process.In this episode of the Words of Encouragement Podcast, Frankie Lubin, also known as Mr. Made Different, and co-host Alexis Gillespie talk about culture approval, identity, faith, dating, masculinity, womanhood, social pressure, and the lies we accepted just to feel seen.Using John 5:44, we unpack a powerful question:How can we truly believe God when we are still chasing glory and approval from people?This conversation gets real about trying to impress others, wanting to be accepted, being influenced by culture, learning your worth, and choosing God’s truth over the world’s changing standards.You don’t need more validation.You need identity.Drop ROOTED in the comments if you are done letting culture define you.Hosted by: Frankie Lubin / Mr. Made DifferentCo-host: Alexis GillespieFollow Frankie: @iamfrankielubinFollow Alexis: @ruach.pnuemaJoin the prayer group: [INSERT PRAYER GROUP LINK]Drip Juice Bar: https://dripjuicebar.square.site/#WordsOfEncouragementPodcast #CultureLiedToYou #IdentityInGod #ChristianPodcast #FaithBasedPodcast #ApprovalAddiction #PeoplePleasing #MadeDifferent #MrMadeDifferent #John544 #StopSeekingValidation #KingdomIdentity #FaithAndCulture #ChristianMotivation #SelfWorth #Masculinity #Womanhood #Purpose
