Hello, hello, hello ladies and gents. My name is Kirby Mennick also known as Kirby is a boss on YouTube Instagram TikTok and Twitter and welcome to the bot and beloved podcast. I have been having such a good week. I've needed this week and praise the Lord that he is good and he hears the cries of our hearts and

I hope that you are also having an amazing week as well and if not, you know what? That's okay. Let this be a moment of rest of your divination for your soul and I just pray that the Lord encourages you in this moment that you know that he is fighting for you that he's patiently pursuing after your heart and that when we make time to just meet with him, he shows up a men but in case you haven't hit the follow or the subscribe button for the podcast. I'm going to give you a second to do that.

Feel free to do so right now new podcast episodes come out every single Friday and leave a rating in a review if you have a moment. I was actually talking with my one my podcast network leading guys the other day and we were talking about just all the different reviews and how the podcast has been impacting people and a screenshot and you sent me a review that I received and I kind of want to just talk about it the review said man I have found such truth

in listening to Kirby's podcasts. I listened to them as I drive to school and wow have they been such a blessing to me. I've also journaled heaps of what I've been hearing and applying to my life and it's been a game changer. God is so good. Thanks for all you're doing Kirby. God is definitely using you in my life and I'm sure many others and y'all when I read that that made my day like not only do I do this podcast just because it's like oh okay cool like I do social media.

I might as well podcast but like genuinely it is to proclaim the word of God and to see lives changed and it is such a testimony and a testament to God's faithfulness when I read those reviews but just know that y'all encouraged me y'all inspire me so much so thank you thank you for your support and man God

I can see is to humble me every single day my platforms I'm truly blessed and honored to have this responsibility for real but let's get into today's topic as many of you guys know I have a public email it's bot and beloved at gmail.com all spelled out bot a and

D beloved at gmail.com and that's just a place of space where y'all can send in your podcast ideas your topics your questions maybe you're going through something but this week's

podcast is actually inspired by miss Alyssa from Texas yehaw sister that's where I'm from in case y'all don't know but she said in an email that inspired this week's podcast and this is what she said she said hey Kirby this is Alyssa from Texas first I

want to start by saying how much of a positive impact you've had on my life thank you so much for letting God move through you and being such a blessing now to get

straight to it dot dot dot I've always struggled with people pleasing to the point where I'd change almost my entire personality to get people to like me I was just

wondering if maybe you could discuss how to live fearlessly despite what people think about you and how to change people pleasing into God pleasing thank you so much love you

girl God bless I love you too this mission really stuck out to me because people pleasing is something that I have struggled with my

entire life for those of you who've listened to my testimony podcast or maybe you're coming over from my YouTube channel and you saw my video where I

talked about my testimony or heck even my TikTok I don't know then y'all know that I was a people pleaser to the point at which it made me

suicidal because I was putting so much of my worth and my identity and what others had to say about me I mean it completely

diminished my value and was such a wavering foundation that I felt as though I can never live up to this impossible standard of

pleasing people or rather the standard of perfection but I believed this lie that you know if I couldn't be everything for

everyone then I shouldn't live at all and that is such a lie from the enemy like it got to that point but praise God
