09 | You Don’t Need Everyone’s Approval To Live Fully In God’s Purpose

What if the approval you keep chasing is the very thing blocking your peace? We take a hard, honest look at the need for external validation and replace it with a steadier foundation: self-acceptance anchored in God’s word. Using Galatians 1:10 as our compass, we explore how to shift from people-pleasing to purpose-driven living, where your worth isn’t rented from reactions but rooted in identity.

Across this conversation, we unpack why approval-seeking feels so urgent in an age of social anxiety and isolation, and we name the hidden costs: exhaustion, blurred values, and stalled growth. Then we get practical. You’ll learn simple diagnostic questions to ask before big and small decisions—Am I acting from fear of rejection or love for Christ? Does this choice reflect my values?—along with boundary language that is kind and firm. We walk through thought-rewiring strategies grounded in Scripture so your inner monologue stops echoing other people’s expectations and starts sounding like truth. Ephesians 1:4–5 and Psalm 139 become anchors, guiding you to live as chosen, known, and purpose-built.
