54 | Do You Need to Confess Every Bad Thought? Just Because You Think It, Do You Have To BE It? Hear What God Has To Say.

This is an excerpt taken from Episode 33. You can find the full episode here [https://morepowerthanyouthink.podbean.com/e/33-counseling-part-2-%E2%80%93-mental-health-awareness/]. There is a lie in Christian circles, specifically in Christian/Biblical counseling, that if pressure reveals thoughts that are not Christ-like, you ARE those thoughts and you need to confess. This subtle deception completely removes the fact that Jesus died to give us "a way of escape." We can resist temptation! We do not have to be who our heart wants us to be.  We have the God-given power to choose because of the shared victory we have as believers in children of God. Thus the entire meaning behind "guide thine heart in the way." WE get to lead our heart, not be led by it. We get to choose! If you believe the truths I talk about in this episode excerpt, your life will be completely changed! **I do briefly discuss mental health in this excerpt. I am not a mental health professional, but I am a suicide attempt survivor and speak from first-hand experience of living with a mental illness called Bipolar Type II. If you are having an emergency, please call 988 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.

52 | What if You Lost it All?

On this one-year anniversary of the More Power Than You Think Podcast, I want to share one of the most vital, life-changing mind set shifts we must make in order to truly keep God in charge of our lives and to avoid resisting His plans for us. And that is, your position is not your purpose. Positions change, your purpose does not. Don’t let yourself believe the subtle lie that your security or purpose is in a position. If you do this, your loyalty, surrender, and devotion are misplaced. Let God use you in whatever position HE chooses. Let yourself be the surrendered vessel in the Potter’s Hands. Trust that if God changes your position/ path/ course, that the new path will bring more glory to God, have more eternal impact, and more fulfillment to you and others than any path you could have chosen for yourself.   Free Course Start - www.morepowerthanyouthink.com/course [http://www.morepowerthanyouthink.com/course]   Email - jennifer@jenniferskaw.com [jennifer@jenniferskaw.com]   Website - www.morepowerthanyouthink.com [http://www.morepowerthanyouthink.com]   Jennifer’s YouTube Music Channel https://www.youtube.com/@JenniferSkaw [https://www.youtube.com/@JenniferSkaw]   Buy Jennifer’s Music Here https://www.morepowerthanyouthink.com/musicshop [https://www.morepowerthanyouthink.com/musicshop]

51 | Hurry Up and Learn

Have you ever said “hurry up and learn” to yourself? Have you ever poured your time and energy into pursuing knowledge and then realized what you’ve learned is just a drop in the bucket of what you should know? This can lead to some anxiety and probably some discouragement. Is there even time for us to learn all that we feel we need to know? As Pastor Scott Pauley says, let’s enjoy the journey! Today I talk about how to get this learning racing stripe off our back so we can instead savor the learning process.   Listen to the song from this episode https://lnk.to/Immanuel-JenniferSkaw [https://lnk.to/Immanuel-JenniferSkaw]   Watch the video of this song here [https://youtu.be/d4QIgyou6Ho&list=OLAK5uy_m07qwHBlWwFVlEId6yE0yliXXnGQanBYg%20].

50 | When Spiritual Leaders Fall - What to Do.

Today's episode is not an attack on fallen leaders, but rather encouragement and instruction for those disheartened or discouraged by leadership that has gone astray or caused harm. I pray what God has led me to share will inspire you or a loved one to continue on as a soldier for Jesus Christ, with focus on our faithful God, all the way to the finish line, regardless of what happens around us.   Free Course Start - www.morepowerthanyouthink.com/course [http://www.morepowerthanyouthink.com/course]   Email - jennifer@jenniferskaw.com [jennifer@jenniferskaw.com]   Website - www.morepowerthanyouthink.com [http://www.morepowerthanyouthink.com]   Jennifer’s YouTube Music Channel https://www.youtube.com/@JenniferSkaw [https://www.youtube.com/@JenniferSkaw]   Buy Jennifer’s Music Here https://www.morepowerthanyouthink.com/musicshop [https://www.morepowerthanyouthink.com/musicshop]
