#102: Skill Set: Accepting your enough-ness in Christ with Rachael Gilbert

Why do we battle against receiving our enough-ness in Christ? What’s going on when we turn “shining our light” into a call to be Super-Jesus? What’s one simple way to receive our belovedness?

Listen in to this episode with counselor and author Rachael Gilbert as we tackle how not feeling enough leads us to shame ourselves, decide we must perfect witnesses for Jesus, and believe the false narrative that a life with Christ ALWAYS means choosing the sacrificial, hard, morally-obligated task even when we feel like we’re dying on the inside.

This episode is the first in our Skill Set series, one in which we’ll take God’s wisdom and overlay it onto our real-life struggles so we can know what practical tools are at our disposal to help us overcome our struggles with God’s truth and grace.
