Why You Feel Burned Out, Anxious, and Insecure

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you accomplish, it’s never quite enough?
You work hard. You serve others. You try to do the right things. Yet underneath it all there is still this quiet pressure to prove yourself… a sense that you should be doing more, being better, trying harder.
For many believers, that constant striving leads to burnout, anxiety, comparison, and insecurity.
But what if the problem isn’t that you’re not doing enough?
What if the real issue is that you’re trying to earn something God has already given you?
In this livestream, Cecily will begin unpacking a powerful but often overlooked issue in the Christian life: the orphan spirit—a mindset that makes us live like we are on our own instead of resting in the love and security of our Heavenly Father.
In this conversation we’ll talk about:
• Why so many Christians feel exhausted and anxious
• How rejection and fear can shape our identity
• The difference between striving for God’s approval and living from it
• Why understanding the Father’s love changes everything
Cecily will also share part of her own personal story of battling the orphan mindset and how encountering the Father’s love has brought increasing freedom and healing.
If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, perfectionism, control, or feeling like you’re never quite good enough, this conversation may help you see yourself—and God—through a completely different lens.
Join us live for this honest and encouraging discussion.
