061 | Gaining confidence in your own abilities - Part 1: Spiritual Growth


Listen Later

The world can make us feel like failures… people can make us feel like failures, but we are capable of anything in Christ!

In this 4-part series, I’ll discuss with you how you can gain confidence in your abilities and stop feeling like a failure, stop feeling like you’re not good enough and start believing that through Christ, you can do anything you set your mind to.

We all have a story of how we came to God, whether it was a long time ago or recent. But just like any relationship, you can’t grow in that relationship if:

  • It’s only one-sided
  • You don’t spend time together
  • You don’t listen to one another
  • You fight all the time
  • So too, in our relationship with God, we can’t grow, if we don’t treat the relationship, like a relationship.

    6 Ways to grow spiritually and in your relationship with God:
    1. Spend time in the word with God. If you don’t know where to start, choose a bible reading plan on the YouVersion Bible App. Or Get a study bible that will take you through the passages and explain them to you.
  • Spend time talking to God - praying, talking to Him and listening to sermons are some ways in which you can spend time with Him
  • Fellowship - growing with others by your side is a really amazing way to grow spiritually and you experience and feel different things in your relationship with God, when you are with others.
  • Standing up for your faith - a tough one, but the more you stand up for your faith, the more confident you grow as well. 
  • Sharing/living your faith - with your children, with others around you and sharing when people ask, invite people to church with you, give people bibles
  • Praise and worship - there is something about praise and worship that just connects my soul directly with the Lord. Taking the time to praise him and worship him and thanking him for what he has done, for who He is and for what is to come, grows you spiritually with the Lord.
  • Stay tuned, in the next couple of episodes, I’ll be chatting with you about:
