Do you ever catch yourself comparing your life to other people’s and then when you do, it leaves you feeling empty or like somehow you’re coming up short?   Comparison is a slippery slope that can lead us away from God’s purposes for our lives and give the devil a foothold on our hearts and minds, allowing him to overtake our joy and peace.   But, when you learn that comparison is a tactic from Satan, you’re able to put on the full armor of God against his schemes and take a stand to get your Godly confidence back.   Today I’m going to walk you through why comparison is holding you back, and how you can overcome it to walk fully in the purposes that God has for you.   Grab your FREE Bible Reading Plan here!   Verses I reference in today’s show: Proverbs 14:30 Romans 12:4-7 Philippians 4:11-12   Next Steps:   Join the email list: https://bit.ly/fitbykersey_mailinglist    Apply for 1:1 Online Personal Training: https://bit.ly/fitbykersey_application    Join the Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/fitbykersey-community

If you’re anything like me, you’ve struggled with having confidence in some area or another in your life. For me confidence has always been something that I’ve strived to attain, but never seem to reach. It’s easy to pretend that we’ve got it all together when deep down inside we feel nothing but empty and dissatisfied with ourselves.   Today I want to teach you the difference between worldly confidence and Godly confidence. I’ll share with you how to let go of the worldly standards of confidence and step into Godly confidence so that you can find freedom over your negative self-image and begin to see yourself as God does.   I’ll help you reframe your mind to understand that lacking confidence isn’t a YOU issue, but actually a perspective issue. It’s not who you are that’s the problem, it’s about what you’re focusing on that determines your confidence level. I’ll share with you five tangible steps that you can take in order to let go of the pressure that the world places on you and grow more Godly confidence.   At the end of the episode I share an important part of how you can implement the steps I’ve provided in today’s episode.

There are broken places in your life that you wish you could cover up.    There are painful reminders of your imperfections that overshadow you more days than not.   We all go through life and find ourselves a little broken and work hard to pick up the pieces and put ourselves back together as best as we can.   But, what if I told you that all those broken places, all those flaws, and all those cracks have a purpose? What if I told you that God wants to use your imperfections for His glory?   I want to share with you a powerful message God has placed on my heart recently. I believe that God wants you to break free from the bondage you’ve been under and step out to find freedom from your flaws and learn that He is ultimately sovereign over those areas. God wants to remind you that your imperfections are the places from which His glory shines forth and His strength is made evident.   Today I’m going to dive into why our flaws actually have a purpose and how we can use them to glorify God. I KNOW God is going to move in some powerful ways! Verses I cover today: Galatians 2:20 - “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”   2 Corinthians 5:17 - “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!”   2 Corinthians 12:9 - “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” Next Steps:   Join the email list: https://bit.ly/fitbykersey_mailinglist    Apply for 1:1 Online Personal Training: https://bit.ly/fitbykersey_application    Join the Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/fitbykersey-community    Follow me on Instagram: @fit.by.kersey
