Summary
What if we truly believed God’s power gave us everything we need for life and godliness? That His power really is made perfect in our weakness? That His grace is actually sufficient for every circumstance we encounter?
In this episode, we dive into the kind of thought patterns that keep us stuck in resentment + bitterness, instead of contentment (“must be nice” and “if I had what she had, I’d be able to…” are big ones!). And we talk about practical ways to reshape our thoughts to align with Truth from God’s Word.
The Bible tells us we are already overcomers if we have Christ. The goal is to truly start to believe and act on it!
