Do you ever get trapped in a negative headspace? In this episode, some of our campus pastors share ways to embrace God’s promises and a faith-filled mindset.

So Good Moments: 

• When we try too hard to be accepted, loved, heard, and seen, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparison. We might be tempted to project a fake version of ourselves, but this is dangerous because even if others accept that version of us, they don’t know the real us and, therefore can’t love our true selves.
• Our identity in Christ is contrary to what culture wants women to have. Embrace being a servant of God who pours your life out to Him. Strive to serve God in your home, job, and with the people in your life. 
• To have a faith-filled mindset, Pastor Erin does two things intentionally and proactively: 1) She declares Scripture over her life, situation, and family.  2) Having daily declarations helps her renew her mind so that she thinks like Christ. There’s power in our words, which is why choosing daily declarations to speak life gives you a more faith-filled mindset. 
• To have a faith-filled mindset, Pastor Amy puts Spiritual disciplines into practice—reading the Bible, praying, listening to worship music, going to church, and being in community with other believers. We must intentionally do this every day so that our days are focused on God instead of our to-do list.
• Trust what you know instead of what you feel. Trust that God has put you where you are for a purpose. Do the Word of God every single day, and He will bless you.
