When Following the Rules Feels Like Rebellion | Anchor Points | Ep. 29

Have you ever noticed how what used to feel rebellious… now feels normal—and what’s right can feel like the real rebellion?

In this Anchor Point, I reflect on how our relationship with rules has shifted over time. What once felt like pushing boundaries now shows up in unexpected ways, even in how we respond to God. It challenged me to look deeper at why resistance rises up in us, and what that reveals about our hearts.

Faith was never meant to be forced. It’s an invitation. And how we respond says more than we think.

Scripture (NIV):

James 1:22 — “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”

Reflection Questions:

• Where do I feel resistance when it comes to doing what’s right?
• Do I see God’s guidance as restrictive… or as an invitation?
• What might my response to obedience reveal about my heart?
