Listen "EP 3: From People Pleasing to Pleasing God"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to Trying Our Best! In this episode, we’re tackling the people-pleasing spirit and asking the big questions—like, why do we keep making plans without God, failing forward, fostering safe spaces, and why being alone with ourselves is sometimes scarier than being alone on a Friday night. Is it possible to stop looking back, quit stressing about the future, and actually exist in the now? Does God hold us to a higher standard than our dating apps do? And more importantly, are we even ready for that?From failed plans to relationship rants, this episode is all about real conversations, honest reflections, and a few spiritual faceplants along the way.Episode Time Stamps: 1:38- Summer’s weekly update 6:00- Question of the week19:00- Christian Pick-up lines 25:27- Queen’s weekly update 27:15- Anne-Marie’s weekly update28:47- Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.36:30- 1 John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.36:30- 1 Corinthians 14:29-32 Only two or three prophets should speak, and the others should judge what they say.

You can all prophesy one after the other48:06- Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God?50:02- Luke 17:20-21 Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, When will the kingdom of God come?” Jesus answered, “God's kingdom is coming, but not in a way that you will be able to see with your eyes. People will not say, 'Look, here it is! ' or, 'There it is! ' because God's kingdom is within you50:14- Matthew 6:25-34 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.

The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me58:53- Luke 17:7-10 Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’? Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.1:03:04- Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.1:07:40- Proverbs 16:7 When a man 's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him📲Stay connected!
