You're listening to the Confidence Podcast.

You're one-stop-shop for motivation, inspiration, and confidence to help you boldly take action on your dreams.

I'm your host, Trish Blackwell, internationally recognized confidence coach and founder of the College

of Competence and I teach women how to take their thoughts captive, how to step out of their shadows of

self-doubt, and how to courageously step into their purpose with confidence.

It's time to train your thoughts. Let's get started.

Hey guys, it's Trish Blackwell. You are listening to a faith take, which means you are a supporter of the Confidence Podcast and from the bottom of my heart I have to say again thank you for helping us

just support the show and and and cover the cost and

man your encouragement means a lot to me and I am really excited about this episode. Man your context. This is a this is a an episode on how to walk spiritually with

confidence in your identity in Christ in your confidence as a child of God.

And I grew up, it's important that you know

that I grew up in the church, I grew up going to Sunday school

and I grew up with that support.

I have always known this truth that I am a child of God, but it has taken me until my,

honestly, until 35 years old for the past two years to really understand what that means,

like what that actually means in my life and the and the identity that I have

sort of not embraced fully and I hope this episode will challenge you to look at your identity differently and for you to straighten your crown.

Our verse for the episode is Romans 8, 14 through 17.

I'm going to read it to you in the NLT version. It's one of my favorite versions to read the Bible in because it just I grew up on the

NIV and I love the NIV. I love all the translations of the Bible. I think I'm fascinated in fact by multiple

translations but I love the narrative and how easy to read to read in the N.L.T.

It really just pulls me in. So this is Romans 8, 14 through 17.
