Have you ever found yourself exhausted by the effort of trying to look like you have it all together? We’ve all heard that old advice: ‘Fake it till you make it.’ We put on the Sunday best, paste on a smile, and hope no one sees the ‘crushing’ reality we’re facing on the inside. But my friend, faking it is a heavy burden that God never intended for you to carry.
In this video, my friend Steve Fischer and I talk about the liberating power of being real. Steve shares about his years of ‘chasing a diagnosis’ for his daughter, Payton, and how he finally reached a point where he had to drop the mask and simply love his child as she was. We discuss a simple but profound three-step journey: you must know who you are, you must accept who you are, and then you must finally be who you are. God isn’t looking for a polished, ‘fake’ version of you; He loves the real you, cracks and all. If you’re tired of the hiding and the lying, I invite you to listen in. Let’s talk about how to live an authentic life where you don’t have to fake a thing, because the One who knows you best also loves you the most.
