The ego is not a little red devil on your shoulder. It’s more like a needy narrator that keeps talking over God. It doesn’t usually sound “evil.” It sounds reasonable. It says: “Make it about you.” “Protect your image.” “Prove yourself.” “Win.” “Be right.” And then—like a drama queen who started the drama—it wonders why you feel exhausted.

Some messages make religious fear sweat a little… and honestly, that’s a good detox. Today we’re talking about the illusion of sin and the truth of who you are.

If fear is driving your bus, it will always take you to the same three places: “What if…,” “I can’t…,” and “It’s never going to work.” Today we’re taking the keys back.
