Summary
Jennie continues the The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe book club by focusing on one of the most important steps toward freedom: naming the lie you’ve been believing.
She walks through the three core lies - I am helpless, I am worthless, and I am unlovable - and how they quietly shape our lives, keeping us stuck in shame and striving. But the good news is that God offers a different story. Instead of trying to prove ourselves, control everything, or earn love, He meets us in the gap we could never cross on our own.
