This week on Made for Mondays, Joe is joined by Heather, Doug, and Chelle as they continue unpacking Week 5 of Losing Myself. Looking at Exodus 17, they explore what happens when fear, criticism, and crowd pressure begin to shape our decisions—and how Moses learned to lead by seeking God's approval instead of the approval of people.
Along the way, the team talks about herd mentality, handling criticism, why fear can distort trust, and what it looks like to follow Jesus when the crowd is pulling in a different direction. They also discuss one of the message's biggest takeaways: "I lead by seeking the approval of One."
Plus, a conversation about the Bible Reading Challenge, a few stories from large crowds they've experienced, and practical ways to trust God instead of reacting to the loudest voices around us.
Whether you're navigating criticism, leadership, people-pleasing, or simply trying to follow Jesus more faithfully, this episode offers encouragement and practical next steps for the journey.
This week's key thought: I lead by seeking the approval of One.
