Condemnation is no longer a tenant in my head

Brianne McDonough - Norwood, MA

What I like best about my sessions with Steph is that they bear fruit! I’m heard, validated, challenged, and held accountable! I no longer need to perform for God's love and acceptance, instead I live from a place of already being loved "in Christ". I can allow myself to rest and not feel I have to strive so much. As stated in 1 John 4:18, “Perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” And, in 1 John 4:18, "We love because he first loved us.”

​My relationship with the Lord is much more beautiful and consistent. I now live in a steady flow with God rather than being up and down based on my performance, moral barometer, the kind of day I had, or how “good” or “bad” I was. I am allowing myself to "be okay with myself" and to let go of the fear of being wrong! Knowing I’m an adopted daughter of God and not a slave, I can live in freedom - free of bondage to religious performance, perfectionism, or inadequacy. Condemnation is no longer a tenant in my head renting invaluable space. Love and peace rent the space now! ❤️🙏🏼🙌.
