Do you ever find yourself working for God’s approval, forgetting that He has already declared you His beloved?

In Episode 42 of The Heart Rest Podcast, Crystal Storms invites you to step off the treadmill of striving and rest in your true identity as God’s daughter. Through the beautiful biblical story of the bleeding woman in Mark 5, we discover what happens when Jesus defines us by our relationship to Him, rather than our struggles, our past, or our performance.

Tune in to explore four soul-restoring truths that will help you stop performing, embrace your divine worth, and finally transition from living for love to living from love.

Your worth isn’t based on your productivity, your past, or your performance. It’s rooted in your identity as God’s child. Learn how to shift from spiritual striving to secure child, and how embracing your belovedness changes everything.
