"Such a powerful reminder! I truly needed to hear this. Thank you!" Every person has a recording that plays over and over in their mind. We repeatedly tell ourselves things that may or may not be true on a daily basis. Some of the things we tell ourselves are accurate, encouraging, edifying and Christ-centered. But just as often, we tell ourselves things that are completely untrue and the fruit of false beliefs or false gospels that we've allowed to take root in our heart. Some people spend the bulk of their lives engaging in negative self-talk. They keep themselves in a constant state of discouragement and mental defeat with the words and mantras they repeat to themselves every single day. But Christ wants more for His people. The truth of His Gospel is rich and deep and this truth has the power to counteract the negativity and false beliefs that try to take root in our lives and our thinking. In this book, we will be examining the only message that can defeat our negative self-talk for good. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is good news for the hurting and discouraged soul. The coming pages and chapters are all geared toward pointing our hearts back to Christ and learning to see ourselves from His loving and gracious perspective. We'll also take a look at a simple, but effective, 7-step process that we can implement when we're ready to overcome the daily presence of negative self-talk in our lives. If you've been repeating a stream of negative self-talk to yourself for years, this book is for you. My hope is that after reading through these pages, you'll feel equipped with the truth of Christ's Gospel as well as a helpful technique that can help you identify, address and counteract the pattern of negativity and discouragement you've been struggling with.
