Karen is a mindset coach with the power to help you transform the way you think. When we know the voice of God - we are free to care more about what He thinks than what others think.  God calls us to listen to His voice, but often times the enemy wants us to be distracted by the thoughts and voices of others in our lives. The enemy wants you to believe that people are against you, that they think you are a fraud, and he wants to destroy any chance he gets to take you off course. But God! Join us for a deep dive into why we care so much what others think and practical steps to make a change - through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Follow Karen @Karenmillsap and karenmillsap.com
