"I want to look better." "I want to be recognized." 😩 The more we dress ourselves up, the heavier life somehow feels...
Sound familiar?
3,000 years ago, the Bible introduced a man who had all the "perfection" we'd kill for today.
His name was Absalom — flawless from head to toe, with gorgeous hair weighing over five pounds.
The ultimate influencer of the ancient world.
But the very "perfect image" he weaponized ultimately became the trap that destroyed him.Why did a man who had it all meet such a devastating end? And why was his father King David — who made equally terrible mistakes — still loved?
📕 Let's unpack hints from the world's greatest bestseller on how to break free from the pressure of "I have to become somebody" and start living lighter.
