Have you ever caught yourself angling the camera just right, choosing the words that make your ministry sound a little more impressive than it actually is? What if the pressure to perform is actually the thing standing between you and the life God designed you for? What if joy is closer to your insecurity than you ever imagined?

In this episode, Stephanie sits down with author, speaker, and former ambassador Bob Goff for a conversation that is equal parts hilarious and deeply freeing. From Bob's own struggle with insecurity to why we should all aspire to be Roombas, to the time he walked into San Quentin dressed as Santa Claus, this episode will make you laugh, exhale, and give you full permission to stop spinning.


In This Episode, You’ll Learn

  • Why the most joyful people are often the most insecure, and what that means for the way you show up on the field
  • How to tell the difference between leading from love and leading from fear, and why one of them is slowly exhausting you
  • Why God delights in your small, bumbling, imperfect steps far more than you have been giving him credit for
