Episode 451 // Sick of Striving for Approval? Try This Biblical Truth Instead! (Bible Study & Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️ 

Today’s episode is all about embracing the light God has placed in you and letting it shine in the world around you. No more hiding under a bushel! We’re looking at Matthew 5:14-16 and 1 Timothy 6:11-12, along with Day 11 of New Year, New Mercies by Paul Tripp.

Too often, we seek validation from others instead of resting in the righteousness already secured for us in Christ. But today, we’re shifting our focus vertically—because real peace isn’t found in success or approval, but in Him alone. 🙌🏾

As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day! 

Love y’all! 💕

Diana Marie
