Hey Sis 💛

People-pleasing has a way of making us second-guess what we already know is true.

Today we’re studying Galatians 2:11–21, where Paul confronts Peter after fear of criticism begins influencing the way he lives.

Peter knew the truth. But when certain people entered the room, his actions started telling a different story.

And Sis, that can happen to us too.

We can know who we are in Christ and still find ourselves adjusting, shrinking, performing, or changing how we move because of someone else’s opinion.

But Galatians 2 brings us back to one of the most important truths of the gospel:

We are made right with God through faith in Jesus, not through performance.

There is freedom in no longer living for approval you were never called to earn.

Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛
