The Bible Speaks to You: Think, Pray, Love like Jesus
Have you ever poured out your heart, almost begging God to solve a problem, but it doesn’t feel like your prayer is ever answered? You wonder if there’s a better way to pray you don’t know about. Then some days, you really connect with God in prayer and it just makes you want to be closer to Him?
Each week The Bible Speaks to You Podcast helps you rediscover the original Christianity of Jesus. Host James Early, Bible teacher and speaker, and an occasional guest dig deep into how to think, pray, and love like Jesus. And how to experience more of Jesus’s promise that “the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

377 – The Kind of True Confidence Jesus Wants You to Have

377 – Where does your confidence come from?
Are you a confident person?
Or do you sometimes feel a lack of confidence in yourself that keeps you from accomplishing things or even attempting to do something?
Or maybe you’re confident about some things and not so confident about others.
All too often, we get our confidence or lack of confidence from external factors like...family heritage, education, how much money you have, how you look in the mirror.
But true confidence can only come from
- God
- understanding your relationship with God
- knowing you are a child of God
- knowing God loves you
The best way to increase your true confidence is to practice your faith, to follow the teachings of Jesus.
When you are conscious of God’s will and obey it, you are no longer trusting in your own abilities, your own wisdom, your own will power to get things done. You’re listening for God’s voice and following His guidance.
And this is the basis for true confidence.
