You're not good enough to live a Godly life, and you can't do enough to earn God's affection or favor. In fact, In Isaiah 28, God's word clearly says that all your best attempts at righteousness are in the same category as used toilet paper. When you look at it that way, it makes you re-think how you approach this Christian walk.

Does this mean we give up trying, and live however we want? We'll unpack that question in today's podcast.

On behalf of all of us at Restoring The Foundations, we want to wish you a very happy new year!

Last year was a big year for RTF. We crafted and launched the Hope, Healing, And Freedom podcast, we announced our new myRTF platform and began streamlining our organization, we hosted an amazing live International Advanced Conference here in Nashville, and most importantly - many received a renewed hope, deep healing, and freedom in Christ.

As we embark on another rotation around the sun, we wanted to bring back one of our earlier podcasts that, we believe, will set the tone for what’s ahead this new year. Please be blessed as RTF Director Cindi Whitman presents a Refresh for 2023: Living an Abundant Life in Christ.

It's easy to conflate our identity with our activity and define our worth based on our what we do. If you measure your value by how successful you are, what happens when you fail? In most cases, this is when depression and hopelessness set in. God did not intend for use to be defined by our actions, but by His. That's not to say that our actions are unimportant. On the contrary! Our actions are a result of our beliefs. What we believe about ourselves and about God shine through our actions.

We all need help at times.

Don’t settle for less than complete healing and freedom.

After God showed his power at Mt. Carmel, Elijah ran and hid from Jezebel. Did Elijah forget what God had just done? Why was he so quick to throw in the towel?

If you look at your life, are there any parallels? Has God proven Himself faithful, and yet you keep trying to do it in your own strength? We talk through all this and more on today's podcast.

Authority comes from God alone. He gives and removes authority according to His perfect plan. We can chose to come under the authority of God, and benefit from that covering. We can also try to work in our own authority, but that never ends well.

Today on the podcast, we talk about how to operate in Godly authority.
