Summary
Approval is something we all long for. We long to be found as enough, as acceptable, as good. In fact, it's not whether we will seek approval or not but where we will seek it.
When we look for it in the wrong place, the approval we find will never satiate our desire for acceptance. But when we realize nd truly believe that our drive to find approval is meant to be met and satisfied in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross, our endless search for the approval of man can end. We can see that Jesus fulfills every desire we have for approval by doing what we were powerless to do.
Donna and I talk through some of the ways we wrongly seek approval and how we see in scripture that God is the only One who can offer sound and true approval of us.

| 0:40.2 | Hey guys, welcome to Kindled. This is episode 107. Today I am talking with my friend Donna Harris. |
| 0:49.9 | Donna and I are chatting about approval, seeking approval. There is a war going on for our self-image |
| 0:57.3 | and how we think about ourselves. The war is not whether we seek approval or not, because as a |
| 1:05.1 | human being, we are all wanting approval. It's not even a question of whether a human being |
| 1:10.2 | wants approval, but rather |
| 1:13.7 | where they are seeking it. So are they finding that sense of approval in others or in their work, |
| 1:21.3 | or are they finding it in the only true place it can be found in Jesus Christ and his work on |
| 1:27.0 | the cross? So it's a motivator for us and |
| 1:30.0 | a driver for us in so many things that we do. And Donna and I are going to get into the nitty |
| 1:34.2 | of that today, from our work to motherhood to friendships, how we engage on social media. |
