Have you been believing things about yourself that don’t align with what God says?

In this episode of The Word Woman Podcast, we’re talking about how to break free from lies about your identity and step into who God says you are. So many women are carrying labels from their past—rejection, failure, insecurity—and those labels begin to shape how they think, live, and show up in the world.

But the truth is: your identity is not found in your past, your pain, or people’s opinions—it’s found in God.

If you’ve been struggling with insecurity, confusion about who you are, or feeling like you’re not enough, this episode will help you renew your mind, reject false beliefs, and anchor your identity in Christ.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

• How the enemy attacks your identity through lies and negative thoughts
 • Where false identity beliefs come from (pain, rejection, past experiences)
 • What God says about who you are according to scripture
 • How to renew your mind and replace lies with truth
 • How to stop striving for identity and start living from it

Key Bible Verses in This Episode

1 Peter 2:9
“You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession…”

Psalm 139:14
“I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made…”

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation…”

 • You are who God says you are

False identity comes from lived experiences—but true identity comes from God’s Word.

If you don’t challenge the lies, you will start living like they’re true. But when you replace lies with truth, your life begins to change.

Practical Steps to Walk in Your Identity

• Identify the lies you’ve been believing about yourself
 • Find scriptures that speak truth over those lies
 • Speak God’s Word out loud daily
 • Be intentional about renewing your mind
 • Stop seeking validation from people and rest in God’s truth

Do you ever feel like you're constantly striving — pushing, forcing, worrying, and trying to make life happen in your own strength?

In this episode of The Word Woman, we talk about the struggle many Christian women face: wanting to trust God but still trying to control everything ourselves. When life doesn’t move the way we expect, it’s easy to fall into striving instead of surrender.

Through Psalm 46:10, we explore what it really means to cease striving and rest in God's power instead of our own effort.

If you’ve ever struggled with control, anxiety about the future, or feeling like you have to make everything happen on your own, this episode will encourage you to release the pressure and trust the God who is already working on your behalf.

God never asked you to carry life alone.

In This Episode You'll Learn

•  What the Bible really means when it says “be still”
•  The difference between healthy effort and unhealthy striving
•  Why striving often comes from fear and lack of trust
•  How Psalm 46:10 invites us to surrender control to God 
•  Why we cannot live spiritually apart from God’s strength 
•  How the Holy Spirit helps guide and lead us daily
•  Simple spiritual practices that help you grow in trust with God 

Key Bible Verses Mentioned

• Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God.” 
• Romans 8:14 – “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” 
• John 15:5 – “I am the vine; you are the branches… apart from me you can do nothing.” 

Key Takeaways

Many of us spend years striving — trying to fix problems, force outcomes, and carry burdens that were never ours to carry.

But God invites us into something different.

The phrase “cease striving” in Psalm 46:10 actually comes from a Hebrew word that means to relax, let go, or sink down.

God is inviting us to release control and trust that He is already working.

When we stay connected to Him, like branches connected to the vine, He gives us the strength, direction, and peace we cannot produce on our own.

Learning to trust God is not a one-time moment — it’s a daily surrender.

Spiritual Practices Mentioned

If you're learning to trust God more deeply, try these simple practices:

Pray often
Invite God into your daily decisions and struggles.

Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance
He is our helper and counselor.

Practice fasting
If you are able, consider fasting one day a week. If a full day feels difficult, start by fasting one meal. Fasting helps quiet the flesh and draw closer to God.

Reflection Question

Are there areas of your life where you are striving instead of trusting God?

Take a moment today to surrender those things to Him.
