Listen "People Pleasing"
Episode Synopsis
It's not a bad thing to want to please others. So when do we cross a line into sinful people pleasing? Jasmine Holmes puts it succinctly: "It's when your identity is founded on other people's perception of you."On this episode of Let's Talk, Jasmine, Jackie, and Melissa all confess to people-pleasing tendencies that can become sin, though each faces different temptations. It's helpful to understand how your personality and gifting may bring with them a related temptation. Melissa shares that, in her own life, she has learned that it's possible to be nice to people in a way that isn't actually kind. The hosts also talk about how people pleasing affects parenting, and what they hope for their kids as they grown in independence.Related Resources6 Ways to Smash the Approval IdolHow Can I Be a Workplace Servant But Not a Doormat?Personality Tests Don’t Excuse Your SinExchanging Fear for FearThis season of Let’s Talk is sponsored by RTS Global, the online program at Reformed Theological Seminary.
