Have you ever felt the weight of pressure you couldn’t explain? The kind that keeps you up at night, makes every decision feel heavier, and whispers, This is all on you.
We’ve all been there—caught in the endless cycle of expectations and deadlines, believing that if we just push harder, we’ll finally feel at peace. But what if the pressure we’re under isn’t the real problem? What if it’s the lies behind it?
The Lies We Don’t Even Know We’re Believing
Lies have a sneaky way of embedding themselves into our lives. We don’t even recognize them at first.
“I have to do this alone.”
“No one really cares.”
“If I don’t hit this deadline, I’ve failed.”
Sound familiar? These false beliefs drive our decisions, shape our interactions, and keep us locked in a cycle of pressure. But here’s the truth: peace isn’t found in pushing harder—it’s found in uncovering the lies and replacing them with truth.
Truth Changes Everything
In our latest episode of Peace Over Pressure, Chris and Tori unpack how the lies we believe can destroy not just our peace, but our ability to lead, connect, and create.
Here’s what we’ve discovered:
- Truth brings clarity. When we identify the lie, we see the situation for what it really is.
- Clarity gives confidence. With truth guiding us, we can make decisions without second-guessing.
- Confidence leads to vision. When we’re free from false assumptions, we see the bigger picture and the path forward.
Operating from truth doesn’t just ease the pressure—it transforms the way we lead and live.
How to Start Seeking Truth
If you’re ready to break free from the lies, here’s a starting point:
- Ask the hard questions. When you feel the weight of pressure, pause and ask: Where is this coming from? What am I believing about this situation?
- Invite others in. Sometimes, we’re too close to the problem to see the lie. Surround yourself with people who love you enough to speak the truth, even when it’s hard.
- Trust the process. Finding the truth takes time. But it’s worth every question, every conversation, and every step toward peace.
There’s a Better Way
The pressure you feel isn’t permanent. The peace you’re looking for isn’t out of reach. It starts with uncovering the lies and embracing the truth of who you are and what you’re called to do.
