In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Empower Connect Conversations, we uncover the truth about narcissistic behavior—what it is, how it shows up, and how God’s Word speaks directly to it.

With scripture, real-life reflection, and five practical tools, this episode will challenge you to stop skimming and start soaking in God’s truth.

You’ll learn:
Why the Bible is living and active (Hebrews 4:12)
How to invite the Holy Spirit into your study time
What it means to read with your heart, not just your eyes
The power of obedience after revelation
How transformational reading leads to inner healing

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Carolyn challenges us to examine the words we speak and the mindset we carry.

You cannot declare healing while holding onto hurt.
You cannot speak victory while secretly living in defeat.

In this episode:

• Discover how victim thinking forms and how it affects your voice

• Learn to replace toxic thoughts with God’s truth

• Get 3 steps to shift from “Why me?” to “God, use me.”

• Be encouraged to rise, speak, and walk in the authority God has given you

You are not too broken to be powerful.
You are not too behind to catch up.
You are not too wounded to win.
It’s time to speak like a victor and live like a warrior.

Tune in now and begin your journey from victim to victorious.
Subscribe. Share. Speak life.

When we build walls to protect ourselves, we might feel a temporary sense of security, but we also isolate ourselves from the love and support that others can offer.

Following ourselves costs us to emotional and spiritual emptiness. We become disconnected from God. It affects our relationships and we have lack of peace.

Following Jesus we have to die to self, we will face opposition, we can embrace the unknown.

Following Jesus bring us true peace, purpose and eternal rewards.
