    Clarity is Power – How Faith, Resilience & Self-Awareness Leads to Breakthroughs Many people give up—not because they lack talent or intelligence, but because they lack faith and try to focus on too many things.

Here’s what we’ll cover: 1️⃣ How to spot the lies fear tells you and hand them over to God (because spoiler: they’re not helping). 2️⃣ Why connecting with God doesn’t require perfect prayers or a gold-star devotional routine—just you, being real. 3️⃣ How to practice boldness, even when it feels like jumping into the deep end of a pool without floaties. And yes, we’re pulling wisdom straight from Caleb and Joshua’s story in Numbers 14. If they can face giants, you can face your next challenge—no literal giants required. Let’s grow in faith, purpose, and emotional strength together. Reflection Question: What’s one area in your life where fear has convinced you to stay silent?
