In today’s conversation, Pastor Stephanie and Dr. Erica Jewel unpack the pressure many believers feel to perform in church and in life, revealing how people-pleasing, expectations, and pretending disconnect us from God, while authentic faith begins with surrender and honesty before Him.

What We Talk About:

• The difference between outward appearance and inward transformation
• People pleasing in the church and why it is spiritually dangerous
• How rules, expectations, and culture can overshadow true holiness
• Social media holiness vs. secret-place holiness
• Building real relationship with Christ instead of maintaining image
• Encouragement to seek God personally rather than chasing approval
