The Death of Striving: What is Forming You

Apr 26, 2026

Join Dr. Rusty for this message, which challenges the exhausting cycle of striving by showing that the real issue isn’t effort, but identity. The teaching explains that striving happens when we try to fix behavior without addressing what is forming us internally, forgetting that we are meant to live from Christ, not for Him. Rather than trying harder, the call is to recognize and break agreement with lies, allowing true transformation to take place at the level of being. Ultimately, striving dies when we stop attempting to become something and start living from who we already are in Christ.
