Join other Female Christian Leaders!

I’d like to invite you to come and join a community of female Christian leaders who are all seeking to glorify God in their leadership roles. Women like you are also dealing with difficult people who might be in their very first leadership role, seeking others to connect with. Come over, and let’s discuss things like team dynamics, Christian leadership, and so many more topics.

Once a fortnight, I’ll be going live in the FB group and provide a short training that I won’t be featuring on the podcast, so you don’t want to miss out!

Simply navigate to womenoffaithinleadership.com

Let's define confidence

confidence ≠ being loud or extroverted.

It's trust in one’s abilities and God-given purpose.

A perfect example of this is ESTHER.

Leading with Boldness

  • Bold leadership comes from aligning with God’s will, not from trying to be someone you’re not.
  • Stop trying to please others, only aim to please GOD.
  • Practical strategies:
    • Listening more than speaking.
    • Leaning into strengths instead of comparing weaknesses.
    • Seeking wisdom and courage through prayer and scripture.

Overcoming Self-Doubt

  • Explore root causes of self-doubt (comparison, fear of failure, perfectionism).
  • Strategies to combat self-doubt:
    • Daily affirmations grounded in scripture (e.g., "I can do all things through Christ").
    • Remembering past wins as evidence of God’s faithfulness.
    • Surrounding yourself with supportive and honest accountability partners.
    • Remember making mistakes is okay!

Confidence grows with practice and trust in God.

Your Challenge: take one bold step this week (e.g., speak up in a meeting, pray aloud in a group).

Joshua 1:9

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
