Summary

We live in a society that tells us that selfishness and self-centeredness are okay so that we can be happy, successful, and feel important. But, the world is full of foolish, evil, and demonic wisdom.

We need to be cautious of what we are looking to and where we are looking for truth and guidance.

This all goes back to knowing what you believe and why you believe it. We will never be enough and find true fulfillment if we aren’t relying on godly wisdom and truth. If you are acting with humility and seeking Heavenly discernment, the lies of this world will have a harder time taking hold on your heart.

Listen to the latest episode of the #FearlessPodcast where I look at the “Lies of I’s”—Wise instead if I’s—and where we should look for fulfillment and wisdom in our lives.

If you're watching on YouTube, which I was just talking to one of my best friends, she said her and her husband have been watching the YouTube channel, which I started laughing because it's just odd when one of your best friends tells you she's watching me on YouTube. But for the last couple of years, I've been recording out of my home, which you've been following me, or maybe I've shared, I think I've shared it here on Fearless, that I live in about 900 square feet.
