What happens when obedience is no longer rooted in love—but in fear? In this episode, we explore how legalism distorts our understanding of God’s will, leading many to make life-altering decisions out of guilt, pressure, or a desire to prove themselves worthy. Through biblical reflection and honest storytelling, we examine how forced sacrifice, misapplied Scripture, and cultural expectations can push believers into silence and spiritual confusion. This is a conversation about performance-driven faith, misunderstood submission, and the quiet tragedy of calling fear “faithfulness.”

If you’ve ever wrestled with people-pleasing in the name of God or made painful decisions to earn approval, this episode is for you.
