@Jake McKeon a lot was revealed in that, bro. I can see your heart in all of it — powerful to watch your surrender. I relate to what you shared in my own way… years ago the Lord showed me — that I was a people pleaser and a conflict avoider. So much of it came from trying to perform, to look perfect in front of others from child hood trauma and rejection. I had to chase that down deep and forgive a lot. And honestly, it’s still a constant daily thing I try and stay aware of. It’s easy to slip back in — to turn off the brain and start performing without even realizing it’s like a class we’ve taken our whole life on how prove ourselves to others. Beautiful share, brother.
@Andy Rodriguez yes bro — a lot of truth in that. I really love what you said about that said distraction part. It hit hard because for two years i was trying to separate from distractions only to find out my desires where deeper distractions— it’s crazy how often our days can slip by just like that. You said it well, brother. Great work today.
@Sean Byers yes bro — having that identity deep inside, knowing who you are and whose you are, that’s everything. Let that truth stay rooted in your heart and guarded by the Breastplate of Righteousness, protecting those vital places from the world. And when you know it’s time to run or flee, do it with wisdom and strength, brother.
