The Voice That Tells You You’re a Failure

About this episode

The episode discusses the negative impact of our inner voice and its relation to feelings of failure and hopelessness, as suggested by Scripture.

Most of us would never speak to another person the way we speak to ourselves. The voice in our head feeds us false information, replays failures, and whispers that it’s hopeless. It’s loudest when we let our guard down, when confidence takes over, or when the path ahead feels hard. We usually assume that the inner voice is just “us,” but Scripture suggests that something far more is going on.
