Can we truly be loved without pleasing others? As a South Asian, do you constantly say “yes” to avoid conflict or feel accepted? Feel anxious when others are disappointed in you? As Christians, we’re called to love others—but not at the cost of losing ourselves or compromising God’s truth. It might be culturally normal but biblically it is sinful.

We have a new identity in Christ but does that really affect our day to day lives? Hope this conversation brings some clarity and help redirect our focus to Christ.
