Allie Beth Stuckey shared five myths that today’s culture feeds women, which sound good but are not Biblically sound. They’re surprising but freeing!

5 Myths Culture Feeds Women Today

Social media has become a popular platform for people to seek encouragement. Many individuals post videos, blogs, and other content to spread positivity and become influencers. However, not all of the positive words shared on social media are genuine. Some of them may make people feel good initially, but they can ultimately lead to destruction.

During a recent episode of her “Relatable” podcast, Allie Beth Stuckey talked about five common myths that some women tend to believe due to what they hear in the culture. She explained that although these phrases might sound good, they are not biblically true.

In a short clip she posted on Instagram, she stated the five myths:

1. You’re enough
2. You’re perfect the way that you are.
3. You get to determine your own truth.
4. You’re entitled to your dreams.
5. You can’t love other people until you love yourself.

Self-Sufficiency Leading To Destruction

Allie Beth noted how these words may provide comfort to women today. However, in reality, they are a trap that may eventually lead women to a dead end.

“Because all of those mottos, while they may soothe our insecurities temporarily, make us feel good about ourselves for just a moment, all they do is lead us more into the myth of self-sufficiency,” she explained. “That we are enough for our own happiness, for our satisfaction. All we have to do is to follow our hearts, discover ourselves, chase our dreams, then we’ll finally be happy. We’ll find the fulfillment that we’ve been trying to find. And yet, as I argue in my book, that is a dead end.”

Then, the influencer remarked how humans are “finite” and “fallible,” and God had a reason He designed people in such a way.

“All of the things that we are trying and failing to find inside of ourselves can only be found outside of ourselves namely in our Creator,” she stressed. “And so, when we delude ourselves into thinking that we are the source of our own fulfillment and satisfaction and sufficiency, and all of these things, we actually exhaust ourselves with the responsibility of trying to be our own god. And there only is One, and that is the only God that there is, that is Jesus Christ.”
