As we navigate the pressures of modern life, the need to live authentically has never been more apparent. 

In this episode, Jay Kim reflects on a meaningful conversation with John Ortberg from season one, where they discussed freedom from performance-driven living. Ortberg shared insights on shedding the masks we wear and finding comfort in being our true selves. 

Jay invites listeners to meditate on these ideas, urging them to confront the pressures they face and surrender them to Christ. The goal is to explore a life that is honest, genuine, and deeply human, rather than shaped by external expectations.

Tune in and take a step toward finding freedom in Christ's love.
