Why Do We Care So Much About What Others Think?
from Made For More Podcast Hosted by Samuel Collins
Why do we crave approval so deeply? Why do we hesitate to speak truth, adjust our behavior to fit in, or replay conversations in our minds, wondering if we measured up? The pursuit of validation is exhausting—an endless cycle of striving, fearing rejection, and feeling like we’re never enough. But what if we’re chasing something that was never meant to define us? In this episode, we explore the weight of human approval, the dangers of living for people’s validation, and the unshakable security found in Christ. Paul’s warning in Colossians 2 reminds us not to be led astray by the shifting expectations of the world, but to stand firm in the truth of God’s Word. Because at the end of our lives, we won’t answer to a crowd—we’ll stand before the King. So, why do we care so much about what others think? And why aren’t we caring more about what God thinks?
