Why Bible studies? (20:06) When going through the study, what was the tension between "I'm checking all the boxes" and "this is not the God I know"? (24:41) What has been some of the feedback you've recieved from women going through An Unexpected Revival? (28:51) What would you say to the Christian mom who is embarrassed to say she isn't spending time in God's Word daily? (34:08) What about the teenager? What would you say to her?

One of the first things that invades our minds when God calls us to some new ministry or way of life is self-doubt, the haunting feeling that what God wants is just too far beyond us. Moses is the classic biblical case, told to become the instrument of God's deliverance of the Hebrews in Egypt. Excuses flowed from his lips: “I can't do it!” “I'm not qualified!” “I can't speak well!” “Just send someone else!”Sound familiar? Been there? Well, today's guest is going to help you with that. She is an award-winning author, and founder of Every Life Ministries, Erica Wiggenhorn. Writer of several books, she tells us in her most recent work, Letting God Be Enough: Why Striving Keeps You Stuck and How Surrender Sets You Free how to overcome self-doubt from a biblical perspective.

We ask ourselves questions like, “What if I can’t perform? What if I fail? What if I miss out on the life I am supposed to live because I can’t shake this fear?” Founder of Every Life Ministries, Erica Wiggenhorn, will show you the path to freedom and help you see that self-doubt is closely connected to self-sufficiency. She faced a personal battle with imposter syndrome as the result of being told as a child that her value was based on her performance. These lies can form false identities and value systems and wreak havoc in a person’s life. Erica is the author of An Unexplainable Life Bible Study series and her latest book Letting God Be Enough: Why Striving Keeps You Stuck and How Surrender Sets You Free is a must read! Just be you and enjoy the journey and mission God has for you. TAKEAWAYS How the Imposter Syndrome keeps you stuck in the cycle of striving We must move past our fear of failing to meet impossible expectations What it looks like as a mom to surrender your inadequacies to God If we expose our secrets Satan will no longer have power over us

Have you ever felt like an imposter? Self-doubt is common among women and Imposter Syndrome is a thing. It's a debilitating, exaggerated sense of doubt that can keep us from walking with joy in the plans God has for us. When it hits it keeps us stuck but we don't have to stay stuck. So if you've ever been worried that people will find out who you really are and how you don't actually have what it takes to do what you're probably already actually doing, this episode is for you. And what about that striving, striving, striving game that keeps us running in circles and thoroughly exhausted? My guest today is author, speaker, and Bible teacher Erica Wiggnehorn. We're talking about this and more and stay tuned to learn how you can grab a free copy of Erica's new book Letting God Be Enough: Why Striving Keeps You Stuck and How Surrender Sets You Free, just released by Moody Publishers.

"As I dove into Moses, I really began to take a good hard look at how God dealt with Moses and his fear of inadequacy--and our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever so how He dealt with Moses and the truth that He gave Moses, and the promises He gave Moses are the same truth and the same promises that He offers to us if we will embrace them.

Episode Summary: Today we're going to be talking about the tie between self-sufficiency and our fear of inadequacy. My guest today is Erica Wiggenhorn who knows what it's like to live under the shadow of the imposter syndrome, but who has learned how to untangle herself from the fear of inadequacy and let God be enough for her. She shares how she did it. Quotables from the episode: Early on in my faith walk, I cried out, “Jesus, how am I supposed to follow you if I don't understand you?” We have multiple barometers of success, but if it isn't based in what God says about us, we will continue striving until we are exhausted. The imposter syndrome is when you feel like a fraud or a fake and are waiting to fail and be rejected. When we feel like an imposter, inwardly we isolate and that creates a setup for great loneliness. Rather than striving, we have to rest in who God is and who He says we are. When I face circumstances in this life that are overwhelmingly huge I will know for a fact that I'm not enough and I'm not supposed to be God is enough. When I stop striving to be enough to everyone and in everything and allow God to be enough, I surrender in trust over to Him. When I make peace with my limitations, I find peace in my relationships. No human can thwart a divine plan. God's plan doesn't rest on our performance but on His promises. God is faithful to fill in our gaps. Our limitations provide an invitation for His limitless power. Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 3:5 NASB “Not that we are adequate in ourselves so as to consider anything as having come from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God. Exodus 3:11 ESV But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharoah and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” 2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon Me.  Recommended Resources: Free eBook set The Busy Woman's Bundle to Grow Closer to God Letting God Be Enough: Why Striving Keeps You Stuck and How Surrender Sets You Free by Erica Wiggenhorn Unexplainable Jesus: Rediscovering the God You Thought You Knew by Erica Wiggenhorn An Unexplainable Life by Erica Wiggenhorn The Unexplainable Church by Erica Wiggenhorn Who God Says You Are: 17 Scriptures About Our True Identity Finding Your Identity in Christ: 20 Truths from God's Word Lies We Believe vs. Truths From The Bible About Our Identity – Episode 100 Our Identity in Christ is Certain Hope for Living in our True Identity in Christ – Episode 38 Remember Who You Are: 10 Scriptures to Remind You of Your True Identity Revive and Thrive Summit 1 Revive and Thrive Summit 2 Revive and Thrive Summit 3/4 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Free Download: How To Fight Fearful/Anxious Thoughts and Win Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Social Media Links for Host and Guest: To connect with Erica Wiggenhorn: Website / Facebook / Instagram For more hope, stay connected with Dr. Bengtson at: Order Book Breaking Anxiety's Grip / Order Book Hope Prevails  /  Website  /  Blog  /  Facebook / Twitter (@DrMBengtson)  /  LinkedIn  /  Instagram / Pinterest / YouTube Guest: Erica Wiggenhorn is an award-winning author and the founder of Every Life Ministries, bringing you the truths of Scripture to transform your life.

Everyone thinks you've got it together. But inside, you're asking, "Am I enough?" No matter how good we look to others, the nagging voice of self-doubt is hard to shake. We ask questions like:• If people really knew me would they still accept me?• Will I be rejected when I can't perform?• Can I pull this off?• What if I end up alone?• Am I missing out on what life should be because I can't shake this fear?If you find yourself having thoughts like these, Erica Wiggenhorn wants to lead you to freedom.

Growing up, having confidence in our abilities was the big goal that led to success. But what happens to those of us who struggle with low levels of self-confidence? We might have to try a different route…looking up! We can turn things around by looking to God—exchanging confidence with “Godfidence.” That's a term that our enlightening guest, Author/Teacher/Speaker, Erica Wiggenhorn, shared with us on this powerful episode.   In fact, it's something we ALL need!                                 Erica Wiggenhorn shows us that our biggest fears, our worst mistakes, and our own self-doubt don't have to hold us back any longer. We don't have to be perfect or even competent in every area because God has a way of taking ill-equipped people and assigning them to get things done that will definitely require His help, strength, wisdom, and competence.  Erica is the Founder of Every Life Ministries, and she has released a new book, Letting God Be Enough: Why Striving Keeps You Stuck and How Surrender Sets You Free. Introspection is a great tool, so we used tips from the book to take a good look at ourselves and our situations, and we encourage you to listen in and lean in to determine what things you need to wholeheartedly surrender to God.Win a copy of Erica Wiggenhorn's new book!

Are you weary of constantly striving? Have you tried everything to move your dream forward but find that no matter how hard you work it's never enough? Erica Wiggenhorn has been where you are. She has walked through the fire and been tempted in her journey to run after self-reliance, people pleasing and self-doubt. It's the reason she is so passionate about seeing revival in God's women in order that we might cease striving and choose to surrender and receive the abundant life Jesus promises. Erica's latest release Letting God Be Enough: Why Striving Keeps You Stuck and How Surrender Sets You Free is hitting the shelves on September 7, 2021, and she's on the podcast today to offer up a little glimpse of the grace-filled Bible teaching to remind us of who we are in Christ and how that changes everything. Erica is passionate about teaching women to dig deeply into God's Word, to discover your unique purpose, accept God's promises, and live by His power. I know you're going to feel so refreshed after hearing from her in this episode. In it we're talking about: How our struggle to trust God when things get hard is actually a lack of intimacy with his character. She reminds us that this an invitation to press into Him and ask for help so we can see Him for who He really is: a loving Father. What to do if you're not hearing from God even though you've been praying and begging Him for answers. And how the poison of self-reliance is a tool the enemy uses to keep us questioning our faith and God Himself.   Loved this interview?

She experienced it herself and was surprised to find it in the Biblical example of Moses!Erica and I had a great conversation about Imposter Syndrome, how to identify it and push back against it, how to stop striving (I'm looking at you over-workers and over achievers), and peace that we experience when we surrender and listen to what God has for our lives.
