Striving vs. Surrender: Are We Doing More Than Being?

Better Than Best Podcast with Coach Red Wallace

Have you ever sung lyrics like "I want to be tried by fire, purified" or "break my heart for what breaks yours" without fully understanding what they mean? Are we ready to live out the words we sing, or are we stuck in the cycle of performing for approval from God and others? In this video, I’ll share a personal experience that revealed the power of resting in God's presence rather than striving to be “enough.” Join me as we dive into the story of Martha and Mary and discover the difference between doing for God and simply being with Him.
