Welcome to episode #107 of the Building Great Lives podcast!

In this episode of the Building Great Lives podcast, we delve into the profound impact of self-perception. The wise man Solomon, in Proverbs 23:7, wrote about how our thoughts shape our identity and destiny.

Think of self-perception like the steering wheel of a car; it has the power to guide our lives either towards or away from the purpose God has designed for us.

We’ll explore the importance of developing a biblically balanced view of ourselves, avoiding the extremes of arrogance and excessive self-criticism. Achieving this balance comes from seeing ourselves as God does: as victorious overcomers through His grace.

Consider the Israelite spies in Numbers 13. They saw themselves as insignificant grasshoppers, and as a result, their enemies viewed them the same way. This skewed self-perception led them to miss out on entering their promised land.

Join me in this episode as we learn to “conquer the grasshopper complex" and embrace the victorious identity God has given us.
