Some days, it feels like the weight of “being good enough” will never let up. We read, “He leads me in paths of righteousness,” and somehow hear, “It’s all on you.” But what if that isn’t what God meant at all?

Today’s episode is a fresh reminder that being right with God isn’t something you have to chase or perform for. Righteousness isn’t a job description. It’s a gift, something the Shepherd gives and keeps giving, no matter how many times you’ve wandered off.

We’re talking about how Jesus changes everything: He takes the pressure off and does for us what we never could have done on our own. It’s not about how strong your grip is, but about how strong His hold on you is. If you’ve ever felt like you were wearing yourself out trying to measure up, this conversation is for you.

Listen. There’s rest here. There’s hope. There’s a Shepherd who’s not mad at you. He’s just wanting to lead you home.
