When Letting Go Matters More Than Trying Harder

Aug 10, 2025    Phil Stout

We work so hard to prove we’re “good enough”—to God, to others, to ourselves.

But in Galatians, Paul says something radical: “It is for freedom that Christ has set you free.” Not freedom so you can do more. Not freedom so you can earn it. Just… freedom.

This message takes on perfectionism, performance-based faith, and our obsession with keeping all the plates spinning. You’ll hear why real freedom isn’t found in trying harder—it’s found in bringing your whole self, even the messy parts, to Jesus… and resting in the love that’s already yours.
