56. Trading Culture's Lies for Christ-Centered Empowerment with Becky Beresford

In this conversation, Monika Kirkland and Becky Beresford discuss the themes of empowerment, cultural lies, and finding identity in Christ. They explore the challenges of balancing family life with personal aspirations, the journey of writing and sharing one's story, and the importance of trusting in God rather than relying on self-dependence. Becky shares her personal experiences and insights from her book, 'She Believed He Could, So She Did,' emphasizing the need for truth and healing in a world filled with deception.   Takeaways: The journey of empowerment is a daily step of surrender. Cultural lies can seep into the church and affect believers. Finding identity in Christ is crucial for true empowerment. Self-dependence leads to weariness and frustration. Trusting in God opens doors and brings peace. The enemy uses subtle lies to keep us in bondage. Sharing our stories is important, but we must speak truth. Healing comes from recognizing our identity in Christ. Belief in ourselves should be rooted in belief in Jesus. Creating safe spaces in the church is essential for healing.   CONNECT TO BECKY Her Book: https://a.co/d/eI4Ljar Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/becky.beresford/ CONNECT WITH MONIKA  Sign up for my monthly email list and receive a FREE PDF copy of my four-week devotional "Draw Near." https://mailchi.mp/488305f9845f/oh-hello Follow Monika on Instagram for more faith, lifestyle, & encouragement https://www.instagram.com/monikakirkland/
