In this episode, Chris shares a powerful moment from a recent time of spiritual direction when he paused to listen for what God might be saying. The words that came to mind were from Matthew 3:17: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” Chris reflects on how, through Jesus’ death and resurrection, those same words of love and approval now extend to us as God’s children. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a performance mindset—trying to earn validation from God or others—this episode is an invitation to rediscover your identity as God’s beloved.
