When Enjoying What You Love Feels Wrong | Episode #067

Send us Fan MailDo you ever feel guilty for doing something you love—even though there is nothing sinful about it?Many Christians divide life into two categories: spiritual things that honor God and ordinary things that seem less important. That can leave us feeling guilty about enjoying things like hunting, fishing, golf, horses, working out, family activities, or anything that doesn’t appear on the spiritual list.But God is not glorified when you feel guilty for enjoying a gift He gave you. He is glorified when you receive it with gratitude and enjoy it with Him.In this episode, Craig explains how to:• Stop dividing life into sacred and secular• Distinguish genuine conviction from false guilt• Let God’s Word—not feelings or tradition—determine what is right• Receive God’s good gifts with prayer and thanksgivingYou’ll discover how unnecessary guilt can make you suspicious of God’s goodness—and how truth can set you free to enjoy His gifts with a clear conscience.Scripture referenced: 1 Timothy 4:4–5; Genesis 3:1–5; 2 Samuel 6:14; John 8:32.Time stamps01:12 Why enjoying what you love feels wrong03:08 Stop compartmentalizing04:38 Receive it with thanks05:32 The problem06:02 Learn the truth07:01 The lie07:30 Confusing false guilt with holiness07:58 God’s word is the standard08:57 A strong caution09:21 The truth sets you free10:05 The central truth10:14 What’s coming next weekConnect with Craig @CraigWalkerCaochingFree eBook: 5 Lies Christian Men Believe That Keep Them Stuck  https://craigwalkercoaching.com/5liesConnect with Craig  @CraigWalkerCaochingFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/craigwalkercoachingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/craigwalkercoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-walker-1816367/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@craig.walker.coachYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@craigwalker9197Get a copy of Craig's Book SHAMELESS The Life You Were Born to Love https://amzn.to/44vldsQSign up for the Safe Husband Three-Day Free Workshop: Secure Men Make Safe Homes https://craigwalkercoaching.com/resourcesJoin the Masterpiece Brotherhood Men's Group: https://craigwalkercoaching.com/brotherhood
