Summary

Welcome to Teachback Tuesday, where you'll hear some of the most popular episodes from previous seasons. I blame the beauty queen in the waiting room. She prompted this podcast. We were talking about things in general when she suddenly inserted that she was a former beauty queen. It was such an odd insert that it confused me at first, but as I continued to listen, I heard the voice of insecurity in the background. I don't remember inviting insecurity into our conversation. Insecurity is a creepy beast that preys on our vulnerabilities. Whether we're frequently putting ourselves down or elevating ourselves on pedestals, insecurity is the driving force behind the self-absorption. There are ways we can overcome this unhelpful habit. Let's consider five suggestions in this episode.

0:00.0	Welcome to Teachback Tuesday, where we play the most popular episodes from previous seasons.
0:05.3	This week's episode, Five Practices for Overcoming Insecurity, was really heavily downloaded.
0:13.1	And I think that's because so many of us have had to wrestle this beast of insecurity,
0:17.2	and we don't like it. But, you know, it can be successfully defeated, but we have to use
0:23.3	biblical principles to win this one. Have you been putting yourself on a pedestal? Can you have
0:29.6	something great happening in your life and you don't actually have to tell anybody about it or write a
0:34.6	post about it or broadcast it? If you're able to do those things,
0:38.7	you've already developed spiritual strength in this area. But if you feel like you have to puff
0:44.1	yourself up, you have to put yourself out there, you have to describe all your endeavors and
0:48.8	tell people how great things are going, that's insecurity hanging out. and you might want to tuck that back in.
0:56.0	Let's listen to this episode again. I was sitting in a waiting area at a clinic when the woman
1:02.9	next to me struck up a conversation. She looked to be in her 80s or so, and I was enjoying the
1:09.5	friendly exchange. I'm especially fond of older people. And by the way,
1:14.3	at 63, I am an older person to some of you who are listening. After a few minutes of chit-chat,
1:21.1	the woman asked, so what are you doing here? You look perfectly fine. I told her I was at a routine
1:26.7	visit.
1:32.3	What she said to me next was a statement that really made me wonder.
1:37.5	Is insecurity still an issue even into our later years?
1:48.5	Thank you for joining Keep the Heart for today's podcast with Francie Taylor.
1:52.1	Francie is an author, teacher, and conference speaker.
