S3 E3 | The Gospel According to Self: When ‘Be True to Yourself’ Gets Twisted

“Girl, just do you.”
“Follow your heart.”
“Protect your peace.”

Cute advice… until it becomes the gospel according to self—where your feelings quietly run your life!

If you’ve ever:

• Felt exhausted from trying to be confident
• Let likes, comments, or attention decide your mood
• Wondered why “self-love” still leaves you anxious
• Thought, Why do I feel empty when I’m doing everything I’m supposed to?

Yeah. This episode is for you.

We’re breaking down the biggest lie culture keeps serving teen girls on repeat:
👉 that putting yourself at the center will finally make you happy.

Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. It just turns into pressure, comparison, and main-character burnout! In this episode, we get super real about how “be true to yourself” gets twisted—especially on TikTok, Instagram, and social media—and why living for your feelings sounds freeing but actually feels exhausting.

💭 We’re talking about things like:

• Why “doing you” can secretly turn into anxiety
• How social media trains your confidence without asking
• The difference between feeling confident and feeling validated
• Why chasing comfort leaves you stuck
• What Jesus offers instead (hint: it’s lighter, freer, and way more peaceful)

There are real stories, super relatable scenarios, and Bible truth that doesn’t shame you—it actually sets you free. This isn’t about shrinking yourself. This isn’t about being boring. And it’s definitely not about hating who you are.

It’s about discovering a version of you that doesn’t crack when your mood changes, a post flops, or people don’t notice you.

✨ If you’re tired of chasing confidence, this episode will feel like a deep breath.
✨ If you’re confused about who you’re supposed to be, this will help you see clearly.
✨ If you’re ready for a faith-based glow-up that actually lasts—press play.

Because real confidence doesn’t come from obsessing over yourself. And real freedom? It hits different!
