Overcoming Low Self-Esteem

There are many voices which seek to define us as women. The
pressure to live up to the standards imposed on us can be
overwhelming and, for some, can lead to feelings of inadequacy
and insecurity which in turn give way to a negative self- image
and low self-esteem.


 


In this episode, we treat the issue of low self-esteem. Our
guests, a panel of women from the Cornerstone African House of
Praise in Singapore, discuss the causes and effects of low
self-esteem. In heartfelt dialogue, we examine how our self-image
can be influenced by painful experiences which have left deep
seated wounds. Listen to these women share how low self-esteem is
the inability to see ourselves the way God sees us, and how God
desires to restore our understanding of who we are in Him.


 


By the end of this episode, you will appreciate that it is
possible to overcome Low Self-Esteem by aligning our lives to
God’s truth.
