The Lie of Self Improvement & When Strivings Cease with Ruth Chou Simons
We hear or see it on the daily, 'YOU are enough!', 'YOU can do it!', 'YOU make your dreams come true', but this mantra is impacting the core of our belief and keeps us from understanding the truth that ONLY with Jesus we are enough. Desiree has the honor of chatting with Ruth Chou Simons, author of her new book, When Strivings Cease, to discuss society's pull on everyone and how easily we can get lost in it if we aren't trusting God. This also pertains to our dreams, goals and everyday life. Have we lost track on what God wants for us as we seek after it ourselves? Something we reflect on in this episode.
