When Confidence Feels Out of Reach

When Confidence Feels Out of Reach

An Invitation to Start Again

Have you ever stood in front of a mirror—or a meeting, or a moment you should feel ready for—but instead, insecurity rushes in like a flood?

Same.

Whether it’s stepping into a new season, navigating motherhood, launching a business, or simply trying to hold it all together, the world’s advice is often this: “Just believe in yourself.”

But what happens when you don’t?
When your strength feels shaky and your self-talk is more critical than kind?
When confidence feels completely out of reach?

If you’ve ever wrestled with self-doubt, questioned your worth, or felt like an impostor in your own life—you are not alone. And you are exactly who this blog series is for.

Why Confidence in Christ Changes Everything

Over the next four weeks, we’re exploring how to build lasting, unshakable confidence—not in ourselves, but in the One who never fails.

This isn’t about faking it, forcing it, or pretending you’re fearless. It’s about rooting your confidence in something deeper. Steadier. Eternal.

We’re digging into what it really means to grow confident in Christ, where identity isn’t tied to performance, but anchored in grace.

The Confidence That Comes From Christ

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water…”
—Jeremiah 17:7–8 (ESV)

Confidence in Christ doesn’t mean we never question or struggle.
It means we know where to turn when we do.

It means we’re learning to plant our roots in truth, not performance.
It means we trust the God who called us more than the fears trying to stop us.

That’s not just mindset work—it’s soul work.
And it’s a journey worth walking…together.

Over the next few weeks, I’d love for you to journey with me (and a few wise friends) as we explore biblical confidence, spiritual growth, and Christ-centered identity.

Bring your doubts.
Bring your dreams.
Bring the part of you that wonders if maybe—just maybe—you’re braver than you feel.

What’s one area where you’re longing for more confidence in Christ?
Leave a comment or send me a message. I’d love to pray for you and cheer you on.

You don’t need to have it all together to start.
You just need to believe that God is already working in you and through you.

Let’s build confidence that doesn’t crumble.
Let’s root it in truth.
Let’s start now.
