Identity

In this episode Hope is joined with her friend Lorianne as they have a conversation about comparison. 

We live in a time where we are constantly faced with comparisons. As we scroll through instagram and facebook it's easy to compare ourselves to what we see. It's easy to feel as though we need to look a certain way or try to act a certain way to be liked by others. A lot of times we let the people around us be the loudest voice in our life. The truth is, Jesus should be the loudest voice in our life. Our value and worth is found in Christ, not in people's approval of us. Some of the things we say about ourselves, we would never say to a friend. We say things like 'I can't do this or that', and the truth is, we wouldn't say that to our friend so why do we say it about ourselves? 

We look at 3 simple steps we can begin taking today, to live out who God says we are.

1. Start listening to who God says we are, not who other people say we are. The more we begin to love God the more we begin to love ourselves and who He has created us to be. How we do that is by reading our Bible and praying. 

2. Create the narrative. When you begin to have a negative thought, about your self, flip it around and instead of saying "I'm not good enough", you say "I am good enough because I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God." Psalm 139:14

3. Rally around your friends and hold one another accountable. Lift one another up!
