We've grown up surrounded by beauty ideals that promised confidence, but often delivered shame.

In a special episode of a millennial mind, I sat down with Nicola Adams to explore how

I'm always focused on the fact that I'm going

to be productive, efficient, and on task. But what I've realized is I'm always my best self when I'm in

Christ. And I'm really learning and seeing in real time that peace isn't about circumstance

or condition, but peace is a person.

At any time that you know that if you're constantly in God's presence and walking in step with him,

there's nothing that can take you out of the state that you're in.

It's almost like you're on cloud nine, you're in this euphoria,

and that's the effect that just being with God has on

every part of my life. And so no matter if I'm productive or checking off everything that I need

to do for the day or efficient with the time that I'm managing, if I'm doing any of that apart from him I'm still

always empty feeling a little drained not always my best self so as we know perspective

changes everything and that's what's really got me fueled going into the top of this week
