Have you ever felt the weight of insecurity—wondering if you’re enough, measuring yourself against others, or carrying the burden of impossible expectations? I know I have.

That’s why I was so grateful to sit down with Sharon Hodde Miller for this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast. Sharon is the author of Free of Me and her newest devotional, Gazing at God. Both books offer a refreshing, hope-filled message: true freedom doesn’t come from fixing ourselves but from fixing our eyes on Him.

Sharon invites us to embark on a grace-filled journey toward freedom from self-centeredness. In her 40-day devotional, she gently guides readers to:
identify the wounds, assumptions, and scripts that keep us stuck in self-focus
· recognize our true identity in Christ
· break the bondage of insecurity so we can freely love God and others

As Sharon writes, “We are never more fragile than when we make ourselves the center of our story.” The good news is that our story doesn’t begin or end with us—it begins and ends with God.

If you’ve been weighed down by insecurity or caught in the cycle of striving and self-doubt, I encourage you to listen to this week’s conversation. Sharon’s wisdom will help you exchange the exhausting work of self-focus for the joy of gazing at God.

I pray this episode helps you lift your eyes, find rest, and walk in the freedom that comes from knowing your Creator deeply loves you.

Cheering you on,
Rachael
