Ep. 75 - Your Value Is NOT Tied to Your Output

Join me as we talk about one of the biggest lies many Christian creatives secretly believe: “If I could just achieve more… then I’d finally be enough.” Whether you’re a writer, parent, employee, student, or creator, it’s so easy to tie your worth to productivity and success. But Jesus tells us a completely different story. In this episode, we dive into identity, burnout, pressure, and why your value was never meant to come from your performance.

It means learning how to keep bringing your work... and your heart, back to Him again and again.
