"If I Just Did Everything Perfect..."

Religion can complicate our relationship with God and it can feel more like a heavy burden or boxes to check than a deeply personal connection with our Creator. ⁣⁣We are also surrounded with messages that tell us that our value is our ability to get things done while at the same time saying that we as Christian women shouldn’t stand out or draw attention to ourselves.⁣⁣My name is Emily Louis and for 26 years of my life, I felt like it was my responsibility to keep God happy by doing all the things. I was desperate to be good and to belong so I exhausted myself by checking the boxes and squeezing myself into the expectations of what others and, what I thought God, wanted from me. But when I learned that God loves me unconditionally and with radical grace, that allowed me to let go of toxic relationships with the church and myself.⁣⁣Now as a beloved daughter of God, a wife, a mom, a kids’ ministry pastor, a speaker, and a worthiness coach I am confidently living the life that was meant for ME. I’m here to help you overcome beliefs that are no longer serving you so that you too can live a well rested life, ask for what you want, confidently expecting to receive what you’re worth, and have deeper, authentic relationships with God, yourself, and others! You're not too much. You are enough. When you are grounded in God’s grace and OWN who he says you already are, it opens the door for the abundant life that Jesus came to give us!⁣⁣This podcast is for you if you've asked questions like: ⁣How can I live more authentically?⁣Is God happy with me?⁣Is it OK for Christians to say "I am enough"?⁣Is it biblical to say "I am enough"?⁣How can I stop people pleasing?⁣How can I rest more?⁣How can I live with with more confidence?⁣Is it OK for Christians with confidence?⁣⁣We'll cover topics such as:⁣Healing from spiritual abuse, religious trauma, and church hurt.⁣Rest from achieving.⁣Growing a personal relationship with God.⁣Increasing your self-confidence and self-worth.⁣Learning to love yourself so you can care for other people better.⁣⁣I’m Emily Louis, and I’m so glad that you’re here, friend!
