Many Christians find themselves caught in a cycle of striving and performing for the Lord, often at the expense of their inner peace and joy. Host Kristin Fitch shares an insightful concept from her guest, Dr. Gary Lawrence, who encourages listeners to stop living for the Lord and instead embrace a spirit-led approach. By allowing God to live through us, we can experience the fullness of love, peace, and joy that comes from being spiritually complete. Kristin emphasizes that when we are not spiritually led, we may face conflicts between what we know and how we feel, leading to feelings of insecurity and unworthiness. As we enter a new year, she invites us to reflect on how we can shift from merely performing Christian duties to genuinely living out our faith through the Holy Spirit.

• When we experience conflict between what we know and how we feel, it damages our ability to respond to life.

• Letting go of the need to perform can lead to a more fulfilling Christian life.
• We are already spiritually complete through God, so we don’t need to strive for approval.
