Summary
As part of the Steadfast Heart series, Leslie unpacks a little-known secret to emotional health - living for God's glory instead of for ourselves. While it seems counter-intuitive, when we choose to get out of the way so that Jesus can be seen through our lives, we experience lasting joy and peace. There is tremendous emotional freedom that comes from choosing to step out of the way, so that Jesus can clearly be seen in and through us - just as John the Baptist did when he said "I must decrease, but He must increase." (John 3:30) When we fix our gaze on Jesus and let others follow our gaze upwards, we will experience a soul-level emotional peace that can never be found in focusing on ourselves.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Leslie Lutty, host of the Setaparte podcast, Biblical Encouragement for Women. |
| 0:04.8 | And we're in our steadfast heart series where we've really been exploring keys to true |
| 0:09.6 | lasting emotional health. And that can only be found when our souls are anchored in Jesus Christ |
| 0:15.0 | and our hearts are steadfast towards him. So in this episode today, we're going to be talking about |
| 0:19.5 | what does it mean to live for the |
| 0:21.6 | glory of God to have that be the motive behind everything that we do versus living for self-glory. |

| 1:24.1 | And this is an incredible opportunity to just come away from the cares and the busyness |
| 1:28.7 | and the distractions of life, sit at the feet of Jesus, become grounded in truth. And so if you |
| 1:33.9 | are looking for an opportunity to become grounded in your faith and really understand what |
