Don't Let Fear Steer Your Ride: Breaking Free from People-Pleasing

Excerpt: Just like a wild cow can send an entire herd running in the wrong direction, the fear of what others think can pull us off course. Proverbs 29:25 warns us: “The fear of man lays a snare.” When we chase approval, avoid criticism, or hesitate to stand firm in our faith, we end up trapped in people-pleasing instead of following God’s path. It’s time to break free! Trust God’s direction over the shifting opinions of others and ride forward with confidence. Who are you riding for—people or the Lord?
