How many of us have made choices solely to please or impress others? If we’re honest, we all have done that at one time or another. But what would our lives look like if other peoples’ opinions truly didn’t matter to us? Would our priorities be different? Would we spend our time differently? Make different choices if we had no need to impress others? In today’s podcast, Yael Eckstein explores what it looks like if we followed the wise advice Moses gave to the Israelites on this topic. Yael shares how this very advice transformed her life and led her to where she is today — as the leader of the largest philanthropic organization in Israel, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. The good news is that if we shift our focus of pleasing others to pleasing God instead, we, too, can be free to live our best and most authentic lives.
