Sometimes, the women in our lives feel like enemies: The colleague who threatens your position at work. The friend who talks behind your back. The woman who seems to have it all together—while you are barely hanging on.
But the real enemy is the one who is trying to defeat you with lies that lead to isolation, insecurity, and division. Jenn Schultz is on the show chatting about her book She’s Not Your Enemy. On today’s episode she is helping to equip us to battle Satan’s deception through the solid truth of God’s Word. Join us to explore:
- How we find true joy when we recognize our unique roles in God’s kingdom
- What we lose when we see other women as competition
- What to do about envy, jealousy, people-pleasing, and perfectionism
- Why we will never be “enough” on our own—and why that’s great news
- How our view of God affects our view of ourselves and others
When we find our worth and identity in God, we can cultivate empathy and compassion for those we have labeled as the enemy—including the woman in the mirror—and live with greater joy.
Quotes:
I want to build His Kingdom, not mine.
I would look at other women to gauge how I was doing.
I went to other people to get my identity when I should have been going to God.
Once I started dealing with my insecurities, I felt so much more freed up to do what God was calling me to do with confidence.
My insecurities kept me small and in a shame cycle.
It isn’t about your strength. It is about God’s strength.
The truth brings freedom.
The enemy wants to isolate and divide us.
We aren’t meant to be everything. We can’t do it all and be it all.
Encourage and build each other up.
Keep fighting for the breakthrough.
God doesn’t show favoritism.
Success is obedience and building God’s Kingdom.
It’s either all for God or all for us.
No one has it all together.
