Let’s Talk About Performance Pressure

Audra + Em | Summer Series: From Performance to Partnership
3
4

In this first episode of the Summer Series, we dive into the weight of performance pressure—the kind that creeps into ministry, motherhood, business, and calling. We open up about the moments we found ourselves burned out, anxious, and wondering if any of it was actually bearing fruit.

Together, we explore how performance culture—both in the Church and in the world—has shaped how we see ourselves, our gifts, and even God. We talk about what it looks like to lay down the pressure to “prove” and instead pick up the peace of true partnership with Him.

We remind you of this freeing truth:

You don’t have to hustle for the Father's heart. You already have it.
And before you try to achieve for Him, we encourage you to receive from Him.

This conversation is all about resetting and reframing—so you can stop performing for God and start partnering with Him.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • Why some of us are quietly untangling from the language of ‘calling’

  • Signs you might be operating from performance: constant pressure, moving goalposts, spiritual fatigue

  • The deeper fears beneath our doing: fear of missing out, of disappointing God or others, of being disqualified

  • First steps toward freedom

Keep your eyes peeled for next time, where we’ll be thinking about why your gifts aren’t the problem…
(and how to stop carrying pressure that was never yours to bear)
