Don't Disqualify Yourself, Saying Yes or No- Courtney Lowman- Episode 98

This week I get to chat with you all by myself. Over the last 5 years, God has shown me how we as humans have the tendency to disqualify ourselves from a task or a job very quickly. We don’t ask questions or take time to think….if it sounds hard or scary we say I can’t and don’t give it a second thought. We’re gonna talk about that today and what words we can say instead of “I can’t”. Verses: Ephesians 5:15-17 Hebrews 13:16 2 Corinthians 12:9 Youtube Podcast #journeyofruth #
