WOMEN HAVE A CONFIDENCE PROBLEM
Women have a glaring problem. A problem we rarely talk about . . .
Though we have gained competence, we still lack confidence. Though we can feely chase our dreams, we still trip over our insecurities. Though we’ve been groomed to brim with self-assurance, we are still mired in self-doubt.
What can we do about this lack of confidence? How do we transform our can’t-do into a can-do? How do we turn our cowardice into bravery?
THERE's A DIFFERENT SOLUTION
Self-help gurus say the answer to a lack of confidence is to believe in ourselves more. But haven’t we already tried the self-affirmation solution? Will more rah-rah girl power genuinely quiet the insecurity gnawing at our souls? Could it be that there is something missing in this well-worn confidence formula?
The Bible provides a different solution. . . A counterintuitive solution.
It teaches that the way to combat fear is with more fear–fear of a different kind.
Gain strong confidence!
As you put fear in its place, you will grow bolder, braver, and more certain. You’ll become a gutsy woman with remarkable grit.
Daring. Determined. Undaunted.
Reverent fear will help defeat your fear of other things–so that even your deepest fears can be met with a mirror response of courage.
You will become a strong, confident woman. The kind of confident that will enable you to face even the most daunting challenge. . . The right kind of confident!
What if we stopped placing our confidence in the things of this world—and instead put our trust in the only one who is truly trustworthy?
In this follow-up to her popular book The Right Kind of Strong, Kassian again draws on her vast biblical knowledge to show us a better way to navigate life. She compares the Bible’s definition of confidence with the world’s well-worn self-help formulas and sets us on the right path. As you begin to apply each chapter’s material, you’ll discover:
- the true meaning of confidence;
- the difference between negative fear and positive fear; and
- how to turn the Enemy’s tool of fear on its head with strong confidence.
Whether you’re seeking more confidence or already feeling full of it, when you lean into a source of confidence that is unchanging, firm, and trustworthy, you’ll become more like the bold, courageous woman God created you to be.
“In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence.” (Proverbs 14:26)
