Summary
Let’s start this week off with some good news. Listen to this Monday Mini podcast episode for some quick and practical encouragement to kick off your week and ground you in your calling. No matter what this upcoming week brings our way, we can start it off by centering ourselves on the good of others and the glory of God.
This episode we are talking about imposter syndrome and will give you some tools to fight it.
First things first you’re not an imposter if you don’t act like the expert, if you don’t act like you’re the hero. There is no imposter syndrome for you because you aren’t faking it.
2 Corinthians 10:4 says, We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity.
These 4 tools will help you fight imposter syndrome:
- Ask questions.
- Say sorry when you’re wrong.
- Bless other people.
- Don’t pretend, ever.
We don’t have to pretend that we have it all together, we don’t have to be the hero because God is the hero. God is righteous. God is the source of life. And His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9)
You aren’t an imposter, you are a child of God. So continue to declare His goodness and his glory.
God is the hero.
See you Thursday.

| 0:56.7 | It's estimated that 75% of women deeply struggle with imposter syndrome. |
| 1:04.0 | That means that a lot of us are feeling ill-equipped or in over our heads or terrified |

| 2:20.3 | pretensions. The verse goes on to say that we have the spiritual weapons we need to demolish |
