293 - Artificial Confidence
Do you consider yourself to be a confident person? In this episode, the guys discuss how to differentiate between natural and artificial confidence. True confidence comes from knowing who you are (your traits) and whose you are (a child of a loving God). Once you are confident in who you are in the spirit realm and you can activate that confidence in your daily life. When you depend on people liking what you have or getting caught up on what they say, you shift to operating with artificial confidence. Your confidence must always come from within. Listener Perks
