Pastor Kellie’s Summer Workshop

NEGATIVE SELF-TALK & SELF-DOUBT: HOW THE BIBLE & PSYCHOLOGY CAN HELP YOU RESHAPE YOUR THOUGHTS 

You are not alone. We all battle negative self-talk and self-doubt, but we don’t have to let it control our lives. Like a bad habit, we’ve all tried to talk ourselves out of being negative from our daily thoughts about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Drawing on Scripture & the application resources of psychology, we can learn strategies to help change our thinking so God can change our lives.     

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world,

but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. ~Romans 12:2

God has a better life in store for you. What we think shapes who we are. Stop letting unhealthy thought patterns rule the day. Join Pastor Kellie on the journey to freedom from self-doubt and to experience the joy and peace God has in store for you.
