Episode # 50, Insecurities can get the Best of Me! host Jackie Brindle

A number does not define you! My encouragement in the 50th episode, is to let you know all know how valuable you are and that you matter! It does not depend on the number of likes, number of followers you have, or the productivity of your day! I have to be honest, I've let the number be my idol, without even without me realizing it. I can get stuck on what the "number" means to the world.  But when I choose to interrupt those lies and negative thinking, I always land on the truth that sets me free. I am a child of God, so precious to Him. The outcome of what God did for us on the cross trumps all lies, fear, anxiety, and doubt of who God says I am! God knew we'd spiral into downward thinking that we aren't enough which is why He gave the greatest sacrifice --- GRACE -- which says we are more than enough! does in my life and in yours,  is more valuable to anyone than any "thing", like a number.  I am passing through, this thing called life. As are you. I want to leave behind a legacy so that when my race is finished, people were encouraged by what God has done in and through my life, for His glory! It's never been about me! The podcast, what I create, my actions, my productivity, my workout, my parenting, my relationships, is all FOR CHRIST! If I focus on it's all about "me" that insecurity is sure to creep in, again and again.  Here's a few ways that can keep you looking up and onward:  1. Call out all your insecurities and give it to God first, because He cares for you! SO much so, that He wants you to lack nothing! (reference James) 2. Call on a friend. Talk out your insecurities! Pray about them together! 3. Listen in to a podcast or read something positive, thought provoking, and encouraging!  Thank you so much for listening! I am so grateful that you listen in because I know your day has a lot going on in it from day to day! And yet you chose to push play!! Thank you!  I hope this continues to leave you ENCOURAGED!  Jackie  Click here:  https://linktr.ee/jackiebrindle Bible Devotions and Reference: James 1:4, James 1:16-27, James 3:13-16 Book suggestion: Jennie Allen, "Get Out of Your Head" https://www.jennieallen.com/gooyh
