Welcome to Her Journey by Faith! We are your hosts, Kyle Cloud and Sabrina Hedgpeth. We’re wives and moms on a mission to equip ourselves and other women with the Gospel. We’ve both seen drastic changes in our lives as we’ve learned to surrender our plans to God and follow Him in obedience. We pray that this podcast will speak to you, help to reveal some of God’s truth in your life and that you will learn to surrender to Him.

In this episode, we’re going to discuss the “Do What Makes You Happy” culture. If you’re not familiar with that concept, give this episode a listen! We are going to take a few popular quotes/sayings from this popular culture, break down why they can be dangerous & harmful and how they can pull us away from the bible.

Quote #1: “Do what makes you happy.”

Quote #2: “Follow your heart.”

Quote #3: “You can do anything.”

"The ‘do what makes you happy’ culture is so toxic for Christians. We are not called to do what makes us happy. We are called to do what glorifies God. Christianity isn’t always sunshine and happiness. It is hard work and dedication to Him, not us. Do what glorifies God." -Unknown Source  

Of course, God wants us to enjoy the things on earth that He created for us, but He wants us to do things that glorify Him - things that make us holy and more like Jesus Christ so we can portray that to the world.

Our prayer for you, if you find yourself in the midst of this culture, is that God would bring about His truth and guide you to His word so that you are sanctified and convicted to fulfill God’s plan and purpose for your life. That you would surrender all the desires of the flesh and trust that God has the best plan in store for you!
