Episode Synopsis

Have you ever felt judged by other Christians—not because you broke a biblical command, but because your method didn't match theirs? Maybe you've been on the other side too—so passionate about your own convictions that you started expecting others to live by them. In this episode, we're confronting a subtle but dangerous trap: mistaking personal convictions for God's truth. We'll cover: ✔️ The difference between biblical principles and personal methods ✔️ Why elevating your method can lead to spiritual pride and false righteousness ✔️ How Christian culture confuses preference with obedience ✔️ What Scripture really says about humility, grace, and unity ✔️ How to have conviction without control and boldness without belittling others This episode is a call to return to the Word, examine our posture, and remember: God doesn't need our methods—He needs our obedience. If you've ever felt pressured to conform to someone else's version of "faithfulness," or you've struggled with pushing your way too hard, this one's for you. Let's trade pride for humility, assumptions for grace, and performance for peace. It's time to stop building altars to our own preferences—and start walking in the freedom of God's truth.
