We all want to know we are accepted and loved for who we truly are.

Joshua MacLeod discusses the challenge of finding purpose, shares stories of awkward obedience, and examines how God's joy provides freedom and direction. You are invited into a journey of learning to listen, slowing down, and choosing practical steps toward wholeness.

Regardless of your past or doubts, you can find belonging, replace shame with acceptance, and realize that God communicates with those seeking something genuine.

Psalm 16:11, 23:1, 25:11-14; Proverbs 9:10; Isaiah 62:3-5; Jeremiah 29:13-15; John 10:14-17, 14:15; Romans 8:12-17; 1 John 2:16

1. God’s delight in you does not depend on your perfection. He calls you to relationship, not just activity.
2. Real belonging starts by hearing God’s voice for yourself, not just through others.
3. It is normal to struggle with doubt, distraction, or thinking you are “unqualified.” God meets you there with love and not condemnation.
4. Slowing down, turning off distractions, and honest prayer are simple, life-changing ways to grow closer to God.
5. Obedience may feel awkward or risky.
6. Believing God delights in you dismantles fear and shame, freeing you to live out your true identity and serve purposefully.
7. Community grows as we confess, pray for one another, and refuse to pretend.

2. Intimacy with God requires vulnerability, communication, and authenticity.
3. Jesus’ prayer in John 17 reveals God’s desire for oneness with His people.
4. Emotional closeness with God grows through daily faith and active trust.
