Stop Trying to Prove Yourself to God

from Church On The Rock St Augustine · host Josh Hersey

What if everything you believed about earning God’s approval was backwards? In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, we unpack the powerful truth that identity comes before activity and that you were chosen, adopted, and approved long before you ever did anything for God. We dive into Romans 8, 1 Peter 2, John 15, and Romans 12 to explore what it really means to abide in Christ and live with a misfit mindset in a culture that says performance defines you. If you have ever struggled with feeling like you have to prove yourself to God, wondered what abiding actually looks like in a busy life, or questioned how to live as a disciple in the real world, this conversation will ground you in the freeing reality that you are a child first and everything else flows from there.   Did you accept Christ today?
