Growing Through It
Welcome to the "Growing Through It" podcast, where your host, Lyla Anne, is dedicated to guiding listeners towards a deeper connection with God. More than just a title, "Growing Through It" is an understanding that every experience we endure is purposeful. We firmly believe that in the eyes of the Lord, nothing is without meaning or value.
Grounded in the teachings of the Word, this podcast aims to accompany listeners whether they're new to their faith journey or have walked this path for years. Whether you're experiencing life's highs and lows or simply navigating through the routines of everyday life, what matters most to us is that Jesus is leading the way for you.
For those seeking to deepen their connection with God yet feeling uncertain about where or how to begin, this podcast was made just for you. Let’s grow through it together.
Growing Through It
For the Christian Who’s Trying So Hard to Be Perfect
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough for God, like no matter how much you pray, serve, or show up, it’s still never enough… this episode is for you.
We talk about that quiet pressure so many of us carry as Christians. The pressure to perform, to be “good,” to never fall short. Everyone online makes it look so easy… their routines, their faith, their peace and you start wondering, What am I missing? Why do I feel exhausted?
But what if God isn’t asking for perfection? What if He’s asking for presence?
In this episode, we unpack what it really means when Scripture says, “to obey is better than sacrifice.” We talk about fear, people-pleasing, burnout, and why God values mercy over performance.
This isn’t about doing more, it’s about drawing closer.Because you’re not a bad Christian. You’re just tired.And maybe… God’s been waiting for you to rest.
