Living Authentically: Faith Paxton on Faith, Gossip, and Being Christ-like
I can't spend my life dwelling on what people think, but I do think I need to spend some time just being aware of it and see if there's changes that need to be made for the better, so that I can be a better witness for Christ and people will see more Jesus in me and see less Christian in me.
Ever wonder what people are saying about you behind your back? In this thought-provoking episode of the 'Mess It Up Podcast', Faith Paxton from Paxton Pantry joins the Bow Tie Guy to tackle the tough topic of societal opinions. They dive into living out one's faith amidst the chatter of gossip and the pressures of people-pleasing. Faith opens up about her personal battles with codependency and the constant struggle to align her actions with her beliefs.
She candidly discusses how challenging it can be to embody Christ-like qualities when everyone has their own flaws. The conversation doesn't shy away from the power of words and how they can shape perceptions and relationships. Faith's insights are a reminder that while we can't control what others think, we can focus on being true to ourselves and our faith.
She leaves listeners with a powerful message: 'I can't spend my life dwelling on what people think, but I do think I need to spend some time just being aware of it and see if there are changes that need to be made for the better, so that I can be a better witness for Christ and people will see more Jesus in me and see less Christian in me'.
