About this video
In a world where external voices constantly judge us based on our appearance, wealth, and status, it’s easy to fall prey to negative self-talk. Though this self-criticism can be debilitating, there is hope in God. He sees beyond our flaws and limitations, offering a solution to our self-doubt and self-criticism.
When we let the Bible teach us to develop a learner’s heart, we can silence the voice of self-criticism and embrace feedback as a tool for growth, rather than a weapon against our confidence.
Simon, Simon, how Satan has pursued you, that he might make you part of his harvest. But I have prayed for you. I have prayed that your faith will hold firm and that you will recover from your failure and become a source of strength for your brothers here.
Luke 22:31-32 Voice
Peter learned to overcome his emotions and negative thoughts by learning to love like Jesus did. We too can overcome self-hate and criticism by approaching life with a humble and teachable spirit.
As we develop spiritual incrementalism — taking things on one step at a time — we can discover the life God is calling us toward.
God wants to show us the truth about ourselves so he can help us discover our purpose.
