You might be familiar with self-criticism that says, "Do better. Try harder. Stop making mistakes!" Listening to critical self-talk for too long can tempt us to react under pressure or retreat in shame. Thankfully God's voice of love sings a different song over us — the Lord desires to protect us from ruthless self-criticism.

Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi share how you can replace self-criticism with self-empathy. You'll learn how to watch and pray with Jesus as you trust him to protect you from lies and judgment in areas of woundedness and weakness.
