🔑 Key Theme

In your twenties, ambition is natural—and even good. But there’s a fine line between pursuing excellence for God and becoming obsessed with proving your worth through your work.

💡 Big Idea - Excellence honors God. Obsession replaces Him.

• Excellence = “I’ll give my best because God is worthy.” 
• Obsession = “I have to prove that I am worthy.” 

📖 Biblical Anchor - Colossians 3:23
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…”

•  It doesn’t say: work to prove yourself
•  It says: work as worship

🔄 Identity Shift

• Excellence flows from identity (you are already loved by God) 
• Obsession tries to earn identity (you need to prove your worth)
