Stop performing your faith
Jordan Okafor
Oct 26, 2026
The most tired people in the room are usually the ones who look the most put-together.
Notes
We opened Unfiltered by naming the thing nobody says out loud: a lot of us are performing a version of faith we do not actually have the energy for.
Matthew 11:28–30
Jesus does not invite the impressive. He invites the tired. If your faith only works when you are “on,” it is not a faith — it is a show.
Talk it through
Where are you performing this week? What would rest look like if nobody was watching?
