In this episode, Looking for God: The Search for Something More explores the pressures and ideologies within Western culture that push people to constantly acieve and prove themselves in order to gain acceptance from others—and even from God. Donna VanLiere and Carmen LaBerge discuss how we are created in God's image and loved apart from our striving or accomplishments. God accepts us not because of what we do, but because of who He is and how He created us. While work and purpose are valuable parts of life, even more important is becoming who God made us to be.
