Have you lost your self-confidence? Maybe you’ve been living in constant stress, stuck in fight-or-flight, and doubt feels louder than your faith. As a Christian life coach, I know what it’s like to feel unqualified, overwhelmed, and unsure if you can really do what God has called you to do.
In this episode, I share my personal story of struggling with low self-confidence, how God used a simple mustard seed necklace to remind me that my faith belongs in Him—not in myself—and how that shifted everything. You’ll learn:
-
How living in chronic stress affects your brain and body (and your ability to hear God clearly)
-
Why negative thought pathways (RAS) reinforce lies like “I’m not enough”
-
How the enemy uses doubt to keep you stuck
-
Why the world says “self-confidence” but the Word teaches “God-confidence”
-
Practical steps and Scriptures to help you move forward boldly in your calling
You don’t need perfect self-confidence. You just need mustard-seed faith in the One who called you.
