Summary
The approval trap is ensnaring way too many of us... what do I mean by this? We are drawn into the need for man's approval and applause, for everyone to love us or, at the very least, like us, and to never fail anyone's assumptions about us. But this is unrealistic. Friends, we are now living for an audience of One when we become Christians, and God's approval and affection toward us should be enough! Let's talk about it.

| 0:00.0 | Life Audio. Some of us have been living for the approval and the applause of man when we should be living for God, specifically those magic words we want to hear. Well done, good and faithful servant. That is what we are going to be talking about today. |
| 0:23.0 | Hello, hello, hello, ladies and gents, and welcome to this week's episode of the |
| 0:27.0 | Bot and Beloved podcast. As always, it's a girl, Kirby Kelly, back at it again. |
| 0:31.7 | And this week, we are going to be talking about living for an audience of one, pleasing the Lord, overcoming the applause and the |
| 0:40.6 | approval that we might be craving from the world, from specific people, or even just |
| 0:46.8 | ourselves. I think sometimes we can even get caught up with this idea of, I need to meet |
| 0:52.0 | this specific expectation in my own life when it's just so unrealistic |
| 0:56.9 | and so far attached from what God wants for us and who he has called us to be that we can't |
| 1:03.5 | fully enjoy the calling that he has over us and over our lives. |
| 1:09.1 | So if that is you today and you completely relate to that sentiment, |
| 1:13.4 | that's what we're going to be diving in on. But first, if this is your first time listening and |

| 1:29.8 | I would love to hear how you heard of the podcast. Also, another little fun fact for you all, |
| 1:35.2 | I have an email associated with this podcast where you can directly reach out to me and let me know |
| 1:43.0 | if there is something that you want me to cover on |
| 1:45.7 | the podcast. That email is bought and beloved at gmail.com. It's all spelled out bot a and d beloved |
| 1:53.1 | at gmail.com. And if there are, I don't know, any biblical questions that you have, if there's |
| 1:59.0 | scripture that you're like, Kirby, can you break this down for me? Or maybe you're going through something in your life and you just need |
| 2:04.4 | some sound wisdom from the word of God and you need it broken down and made a little bit |
| 2:10.4 | applicable for your situation. Just email me. Let me know your name, where you're from. |
| 2:15.7 | I'd love to see just like where the podcast goes because this is |
