Hey beautiful friends—and welcome to The Anointed Life with me, Coach Blanche DiDomenico. In today’s episode, we’re tackling a powerful truth: Are you living in religious performance or real relationship with Jesus?

We’ll unpack five key differences between religiosity and intimacy with Christ:

1. Rules vs. Grace – Are you striving to earn God's love or responding to His love with obedience?
2. Image vs. Intimacy – Are you more focused on looking holy or truly knowing Him?
3. Performance vs. Presence – Are you busy for God or resting with Him?
4. Condemnation vs. Conviction – Are you stuck in guilt or growing through grace and truth?
5. Checklist vs. Connection – Are you treating your faith like a task, or are you abiding in the Vine daily?

I’ll share Scriptures, real-life examples, and the beautiful call to surrender—not just to a belief system, but to the living Savior. Because being born again isn’t about religion—it’s about being spiritually reborn through true relationship.

💜 “Religion may clean the outside of the cup, but only relationship with Jesus transforms the heart.”

📖 Key Scriptures:
 1 John 4:12–18 · Matthew 6:6 · Luke 10:42 · Romans 8:1 · John 15:4–5 · Romans 8:38–39 · John 3:5

💬 Challenge for You:
Do you know about Jesus… or do you actually know Him? Today, I invite you to draw near, lay down performance, and fully surrender to Jesus as Lord and Savior.

And yes—I lead a prayer of salvation at the end if you’re ready to take that step of faith.
