Did you know that the habit of overachieving can be rooted in a deeper, subconscious belief that by doing more, you will earn you more points, more appreciation, and, ultimately, more love?

I know what it is like to, habitually, go above and beyond in everything you do, even when it puts strain on you; and at the expense of other “priorities” in your life. So, in today’s episode, I talk about the gift of GRACE. I go straight to the WORD for a sweet reminder – one I hope you tuck away in your heart – the reminder that you don’t need to do anything to earn God’s love, grace, or mercy.

Why you’ve got to check out today’s episode:

• Learn how to rid yourself of the belief that doing more will earn you more points, more appreciation, and, ultimately, more love.

• Dig into the true meaning of the terms GRACE and MERCY.

• Be encouraged and better understand the foundation of the Christian walk.

“We don’t need to do anything to earn God’s love, grace, or mercy.”
