14 // Refreshed & Renewed - PART 3: How to Truly Believe God’s Word, Who Does God Say I Am, and Growing Faith Through Identity in Christ

Hey hey!
Today we’re talking about seasons of refreshment and renewal. It is important to know how to find true refreshment in Christ in the midst of busy mom seasons and hard ones alike. Renewal begins in our minds and flows out into our everyday life and has everything to do with learning to apply the bible to everyday life. 
Join us in part 3 of this 3 part series on being renewed in Christ and finding refreshment in God through the truth of the Bible. 
 
In this episode I share:
 
What are “lies women believe”?
How can I renew my mind in Christ?
Biblical truths and bible verses about your identity in Christ. 
What the bible says about feeling shame, rejection, inadequacy, abandonment, worthless, alone, too much, not enough etc.
What is a stronghold? What you can do about it and what God’s word says. 
Having a truly biblical mindset in life as a busy mom, Christian wife, or even Christian business owner and Christian entrepreneur. 
TONS of scripture reading in this episode speaking truth over YOU, a beloved daughter of the King. 
What are Christian affirmations, biblical declarations, and Christian “I am” statements and are they biblical?
Want to answer the question, Who am I in Christ? This is the episode for you!
Grab your Bible and a journal and let's dig in! 
Coram Deo,Misty
 
Reflection Questions :
What could “having the mind of Christ” look like for me?
What could it mean for me to “set my mind on things above”?
What lies am I believing? Where is this coming up in my daily life?
What truth do I feel God calling me to set my mind and heart on?
What is one thing that needs to change?
What resources can I pursue to grow in this? Is it a person, a pastor, a Christian life coach, counselor, Christ-loving friend, small group etc. 
What is one small step or thing I can do TODAY to be intentional about this?
Summary:
God’s word combats lies like feeling shame, rejection, inadequacy, abandonment, worthless, alone, too much, not enough etc. 
failure to take your thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ and choose to live GODS truths can lead to strongholds being developed or perpetuated. 
We all have strongholds, many come from the way we were raised. As a born-again believer in Christ, you have the opportunity to walk free of the lies that come against who God says you are and against who God wants to be to you. 
You get to decide if the way you’re currently operating and responding in your relationships is what you want or not. It is not easy to rewrite these responses (habits) but it is absolutely possible as you renew your mind in truth and train your mind to believe God’s truth vs. your own. 
You have power and authority in Christ to break any stronghold, you just need to be intentional, consistent and aware of them and how the enemy desires to sidetrack you in your life.
