Today's Episode of the Live From Your Heart podcast is "Your List Is Trash, and I Don't Want Your Garbage."

People who use 'Right Before God' lists to validate themselves will want you to use their list to validate yourself. How do I know this? I used to be one of these people; judgmental, pious, and full of assumptions when others did not adhere to what I thought to be accepted by and in good standing with God.
