Ever felt like you have to “look” like a strong Christian even when you're struggling? Like faith means always smiling, always steady, always having the right words? In this episode of Little Sparrow Loved, we’re getting real about the pressure to perform in our faith—the guilt, the expectations, and the fear of not measuring up.
I’ll share my own journey of trying to “prove” my faith while secretly feeling exhausted, and how I finally learned that Jesus never asked us to be perfect—He just asked us to come.
If you’ve ever hidden your struggles behind an “I’m fine” or felt like you had to ‘try harder’ to be a “better” Christian, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about what it really means to live an authentic faith—one where you don’t have to perform, pretend, or have it all together.
Listen in for:
✨ The real reason we feel pressure to “look” like good Christians
✨ How performance-based faith leaves us exhausted and distant from God
✨ What Jesus actually asks of us (hint: it’s not perfection)
✨ A simple challenge to help you step out of performance and into real, honest faith
Grab your coffee or tea, get comfy, and let’s have a heart-to-heart.
Love, Sarah x.
