    How to Stop People Pleasing and Live from God’s Approval

    What do you do when the fear of people’s opinions quietly shapes your decisions, your faith, and your relationship with God? How do you follow Jesus when approval feels like something you cannot afford to lose? In this message from the Burn The Ships series, Pastor Scott Savage confronts the exhausting reality of people pleasing and invites us to discover a better way to live. Drawing from Galatians 1 and 1 Thessalonians 2, this sermon reveals how people pleasing is really about misplaced approval and why trying to satisfy everyone eventually keeps us from fully serving Christ. Scott unpacks the difference between living for approval and living from God’s approval, showing how the gospel frees us from anxiety, fear of rejection, and the constant pressure to be liked. When our identity is rooted in what God says about us, we are finally free to live with courage, compassion, and faithfulness. If you find yourself replaying conversations, avoiding hard truths, or feeling worn down by the need to meet expectations, this message will meet you right where you are. Learning how to stop people pleasing is not about becoming careless or harsh, but about trusting that God’s approval is already secure in Christ. When you live from that truth, it changes how you love people, make decisions, and follow Jesus in a world that constantly demands your approval. 📖 Scripture: Galatians 1:6–10, 1 Thessalonians 2:1–8, Proverbs 29:25, John 14:15, Hebrews 4:12 🎙️ Speaker: Scott Savage 📍 Cornerstone Church, Prescott, AZ 🗺️ Yavapai County | Evangelical Free Church of America 🗓️ Series: Burn The Ships 📅 January 25, 2026 🌐 Learn more or plan a visit: https://prescottcornerstone.com

    Why You Can’t Move Forward While Holding Onto Pain

    Why does moving forward feel impossible even when you want healing? What happens when old wounds, bitterness, and unresolved pain quietly shape your relationships, your faith, and your future? In week three of the Burn The Ships series, Scott Savage, Josh McClintock, and Jake Downing sit down for an honest and practical conversation about church hurt, relational wounds, and the pain many people carry for years. Through Scripture, real stories, and thoughtful reflection, this message explores why holding onto hurt keeps us anchored in the past and how forgiveness is often a personal decision before it ever becomes a shared one. You will discover why healing does not always require an apology, how bitterness affects your spiritual life, and what it looks like to release pain without minimizing what happened. If you feel stuck, guarded, or weighed down by past experiences, this message offers clarity, hope, and simple next steps toward healing. God does not ask you to forget the hurt, but He does invite you to stop letting it define where you are going. 📖 Scripture: Ephesians 4:25–32, Mark 7:20–23, Romans 12, Isaiah 53, Proverbs 4:23 🎙️ Speakers: Scott Savage, Josh McClintock, Jake Downing 📍 Cornerstone Church, Prescott, AZ 🗺️ Yavapai County | Evangelical Free Church of America 🗓️ Series: Burn The Ships | Week 3 📅 January 18, 2026 🌐 Learn more or plan a visit: https://prescottcornerstone.com
