We have a new identity in Christ... yet so many of us struggle with walking in our God-given identity because of negative self-talk.
Even though we're connected to God, we listen to the enemy's lies instead of God's truths and we are robbed of the peace, joy and confidence that comes from living in our new identity.

How can we manage our inner critic and stop negative self talk so that we can let our new identity in Christ change our lives?
If you struggle with this too (and what Christian woman doesn't?) then you'll love this episode with my dear friend (and Bible teacher extraordinaire) Octavia Louis!

Today is part 1 of this 2 part series on identity (Octavia shared so many truth bombs that I had to split it into two episodes)!

Octavia tells honest stories from her own struggles with identity, gives powerful tips, and girl, we LAUGH. I can’t wait for you to hear our conversation!

YOU'LL LEARN:

• What our God-given identity is (and what it is not)
• How to walk in your true identity (not your lie-dentity)
• Tips for managing self talk and the inner critic

NEXT STEPS: Join Us in the Connected Bible Community as We Study Our Identity in Christ

What does the Bible say about who you are as a daughter of God?
Spending time connecting with Him everyday (through Receiving wisdom through Bible study; Recognizing God at work in your life; and Releasing fear and worry) is a wonderful way to learn more about who God is and allow His truths to change your negative self-talk and silence the inner critic!

If you’re looking to:

• Be challenged in your faith to grow deeply with God;
• Find spiritual and emotional healing (especially in your identity); and
• Discover accountability and friendship with other Christian women...

Then the Connected Bible Community is exactly what you need!
