Stop Telling Everyone "I'm Fine" (The Challenge)
God doesn't want your "customer service voice." 📞
He doesn't want the fake smile you give the cashier. He wants the real you—the broken you, the angry you.
In this video, I’m challenging you to drop the mask. Your pain is not a mistake; it’s a signal that you are alive in a broken world. You can't get to the table prepared for you (Psalm 23) if you refuse to walk through the valley.
👇 The Challenge: This week, when someone asks "How are you?", do not say "I'm fine." Tell the truth. Even if it's just, "It's been a rough week." Drop the mask and see what happens.
