24. If Something Seems "Too Good to be True"
"If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."
I don't know about you, but I've heard this phrase plenty of times in my life - sometimes, even directed toward me. And it is just the WORST. Why? Because it makes me doubt God's goodness and whether or not He truly wants me to be happy.
Join me (and my friends Madison and Alivia) as we unpack this saying on today's episode of joyinhope!

Note: At one point in the video, I reference St. John Paul II's "Letter to Artists." What I meant to quote from this letter was the line, "Beauty will SAVE the world." What I ended up saying was "CHANGE" the world. #humility It's also worth noting that John Paul actually seems to be quoting someone else when he says this in his letter. Regardless, it is an AMAZING resource, and I encourage you to check it out using the link below!
