Addicted to Approval: Recovering Identity in Christ
A 21-day journey to overcome people-pleasing and fear of man by finding true identity and worth in Christ alone.
📖 Introduction
Welcome to this 21-day Bible study on addiction to approval. If you have ever found yourself trapped in a cycle of people-pleasing, craving acceptance, or deeply fearing the opinions of others, you are not alone. These struggles point to a deeper longing — a longing for identity, worth, and belonging.
In this study, we will discover how to reclaim our identity not from human approval but from our unchanging relationship with Jesus Christ. The addiction to approval can feel like a powerful chain that limits our freedom and joy, yet Scripture offers us a liberating truth: our identity is rooted not in the fluctuating opinions of people but in the steadfast love and acceptance of God.
Each day will guide you through essential biblical truths, practical reflections, and heartfelt prayers focused on healing the wounds created by the fear of man. You will be encouraged to see yourself through God's eyes, to embrace your worth as His beloved child, and to break free from the exhausting need for external validation.
As you engage with these passages and devotionals, be patient and kind with yourself. Transformation is a journey, not a quick fix. You are invited to surrender your need for approval to Christ so He can renew your heart and set you free in your true identity.
Let’s begin this healing journey together, stepping into the freedom and joy found only in Jesus. 🌿
