Lie #1: You are what you do: the lie of productivity.  

Lie #2: You are who you know: the lie of social capital.  

Big Idea: When you live for human approval, you become enslaved to human opinion. 

Slavery to Approval or Security in Christ? 4 Questions to Diagnose your Heart 

1. The question of PERFORMANCE: “Who am I trying to impress?”  
2. The question of WORTH: “Where do I find my value?” 
3. The question of TRUTH TELLING: “What am I afraid to say?”  
4. The question of SECURITY “What am I afraid to lose?”  

The Gospel Solution: Ground your identity so deeply in God's approval that you're free to serve people without needing their validation.  

Next Step = Identity Reset:

• Complete this sentence: "Even if I never gained another follower/ connection/ endorsement from _____, I am still fully approved and loved by God because ______"
