About this sermon
What if the reason you feel anxious, exhausted, or constantly “on”… is because you’re living for other people’s approval? In today’s teaching, we explore the powerful and often overlooked spiritual discipline of secrecy—doing good without anyone knowing. It sounds simple… but it might be one of the hardest things you’ll ever try. Drawing from the teachings of Dallas Willard and the words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, this message reveals how secrecy frees you from approval addiction, comparison, and the exhausting need to manage your image. Because the goal isn’t to be seen as good…it’s to become good—quietly, deeply, and freely. 📚 Today's Resources: Dallas Willard, The Spirit of the Disciplines 🙌 New episodes every weekday. 📲 Subscribe, like, and share to help others grow spiritually.
