STOP SITTING ON YOUR GIFTS!
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” – 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
Witnessing my son slide down the highest slide at Kalahari Resorts this past week ignited reflection on how you can truly do ANYTHING… if you release yourself from fear.

Now the question for you:
Have you ever felt the nudge to step out in faith—start the business, launch the ministry, write the book—but fear, self-doubt, or procrastination held you back? You're not alone. Many of us sit on our gifts, waiting for the “perfect” moment, when God has already equipped us for the assignment.
You see, psychology tells us that confidence is built through action, not just mindset shifts. Studies show that when we take small, consistent steps toward our goals, our brain rewires itself to believe we are capable. This aligns with James 2:17, which says, "Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
Confidence isn’t about knowing every step; it’s about trusting God as you walk. Psalm 37:23 reminds us, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord." That means when you move, He aligns your path!
3 Ways to Kickstart Your Confidence Today
Here are three ways to kickstart your confidence.
Seek God First – Confidence isn’t about self-reliance; it’s about God-reliance. When Moses doubted his ability to lead, God reminded him: "I will be with you." (Exodus 3:12). Spend time in prayer and ask God to reveal your next steps.
Speak Life Over Yourself – Your words shape your reality. Neuroscience confirms that speaking positive affirmations rewires the brain for confidence. Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." Instead of saying, “I’m not ready,” declare, “I am equipped and called by God!”
Take Immediate Action – Waiting for the “perfect” time is a trap. Instead, do something today that moves you forward—send the email, make the call, and write the first page. Please hear me beloved… JUST DO IT! Joshua 1:9 says, "Be strong and courageous... for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
