Friends, I can’t wait for you to meet Catherine Gates, Executive Director for Women in the Marketplace, a national non-profit that equips working women to confidently pursue their faith and career for the glory of God. Today’s episode is all about cultivating Godly confidence!
In this episode, Catherine and I:
- Discuss the prevalence of self-doubt and negative self-talk that hold women back from stepping into leadership opportunities.
- Explore the issue of women not feeling as confident as men, even when they are equally qualified.
- Differentiate between worldly confidence and Godly confidence and how to cultivate Godly confidence.
- Encourage listeners to dig into Scripture and see the amazing things women in the Bible accomplished, including building cities.
- Share the importance of finding accountability partners and taking care of physical and emotional well-being.
Confidence is a topic that’s often discussed in today’s world. However, seeking confidence from worldly sources will always leave us unsatisfied. Cultivating Godly confidence provides us with the solid foundation we need to move forward, even when we face self-doubt that tries to hold us back from the leadership roles we are called to.
