The call to Christ is a call to a new life. This new life begins with a new mind. Therefore, we must view the fearful/timid mind as contrary to our calling and God’s purpose.
What are the thoughts that hinder you?
What are the fears that paralyze you from forward movement?
- Rejection
- Failure
- Judgment

- Responsibility
- Accountability
- Vulnerability
- Exposing of my past
- Lack of wealth
- Lack of knowledge

Know that God has given you the capacity for greatness.
