Faith Over Fear

Silence Your Inner Critic and Live Your Best Life


Listen Later

We've all got an inner critic who, when listened to, can hinder, if not shatter, our confidence, increase our shame, and challenge our ability to accurately hear the voice of God. In this episode, author and speaker Will "Joy" Acuff shares some practical ways we can decrease our negative self-talk, increase our self-compassion, and learn to recognize when our loving Father is calling us out of shame and into a deeper experience of His grace.

  1. What part of today’s conversation resonated most deeply with where you are right now?
  2. What’s one small step you could take toward Spirit-led self-awareness this week?
  3. Are there any “old messages” from your inner critic you’ve been rehearsing? What might God want to speak over you instead?
  4. How might your imagination be part of your spiritual renewal? What would it look like to get curious instead of critical?
  5. Who in your life needs to hear this message today—and how can you share it with grace?
  6. How have stress and busyness shaped your view of God—and what might change if you gave yourself permission to slow down and simply be with Him?
