Are you comfortable with how God made you?

If we are honest, many of us aren’t. We struggle to be everything for everyone. We strive to make sure we are checking off all the boxes. We work to meet everyone’s expectations. And in the end, all of our effort still causes us to feel less than and uncomfortable in our own skin. 

That’s not how God desires for us to live and flourish!

He offers us abundant life. He desires for us to walk in freedom. His purpose for our life is dependent on us learning to accept the fullness of who we are and how He made us.

This is the journey Dr. Jackie Greene took and shares about in her latest book, Permission to Live Free. Dr. Jackie, as she is often called, is a co-pastor with her husband, a Bible teacher, a women’s ministry leader, and an author. She also is passionate about helping women build community with each other while living authentically and fully free. 

Join Dr. Jackie and I on the Sister Circle Podcast as we discuss how you can learn to live in true freedom by: 

  • Giving yourself permission to be authentic
  • Recognizing you are enough
  • Finding comfort in how God made you
  • Owning the path God wants you to take

Completion is no longer the goal. Success is no longer the goal. Being better than everyone else is no longer the goal.

Your goal is to let Him lead you through each day based on what He desires for you and your life. You no longer spend your time pursuing things. You pursue him. He becomes the destination you hope to reach. The labels of your past do not define your identity. You can find a real, full, authentic life –not because you arrive in your career or meet a long-term goal. You find real life because you find Jesus. And in Him, you find yourself. 

The “you” He created you to be. 

Be open. Be vulnerable. Be liberated. 

God put together your unique characteristics for the purpose of your calling. You are His creation, His beautiful masterpiece. In order to move forward in freedom, you have to be willing to own these truths. This means you no longer have anything to hide. You no longer have to try and prove to others you are free. 

You simply are…. 

Free.
