“Well pleased,” is what Jesus hears God say after his baptism. Pleasing God and people pleasing are different. People pleasing steals joy and is based in fear and a lack of self-worth. What pleases God is for us to live into the fullest version of our unique selves and know peace. What pleases God is for us to be unchained from fear in all its guises and to finally recognize our worth does not have to be won through achievement. What pleases people is when we are as domesticated as they are. What pleases God is when we are genuine and free.
For People with Bishop Rob Wright
The podcast expands on Bishop’s For Faith devotional, drawing inspiration from the life of Jesus to answer 21st-century questions.
Agradable
«Bien complacido», es lo que Jesús oye a Dios decir después de su bautismo. Agradar a Dios y agradar a la gente es diferente. La gente agradable roba alegría y se basa en el miedo y la falta de autoestima. Lo que agrada a Dios es que vivamos en la versión más completa de nuestro ser único y conozcamos la paz. Lo que agrada a Dios es que seamos liberados del miedo en todas sus formas y que finalmente reconozcamos que nuestro valor no tiene que ser ganado a través del logro. Lo que agrada a la gente es cuando estamos tan domesticados como ellos. Lo que agrada a Dios es cuando somos genuinos y libres.
