S30: Feb 22, 2026: Who Are You Performing For, Anyway?

Who Are You Performing For, Anyway?

Some exhaustion isn’t about doing too much.
It’s about being someone for everyone else for too long.

In this week’s sermon, we explore the quiet truth many of us were never given language for:

Performance is what we learn when presence was never enough.

Through cultural stories, lived experience, scripture, and deep nervous-system wisdom, this message gently dismantles the lie that rest must be earned and love must be proven.

This sermon is for:

• the strong one

• the capable one

• the emotionally regulated one

• the one who learned early how to disappear to belong

If you’ve ever confused usefulness with worth, exhaustion with devotion, or survival with faith—this space is for you.

No fixing.
No performing.
Just a room with the lights low, chairs pulled up, and permission to sit down.

You don’t need to be impressive here.
You don’t need to be healed here.
You only need to be present.

🎧 Listen slowly.
🕯️ Breathe deeply.
🏠 Come home to yourself.
