Gehssa Hope's Podcast

S/O to all my new listeners & especially my besties from TikTok! Y'all are amazing! 

Although self-confidence can mean different things to different people, in reality it simply means having faith in yourself.

Listen to find out how I first started to build my confidence. Of course, there is so much more, which is why I decided to make this a series. Stay tuned for part 2! Keep up with me on Instagram to find out more! @iicy.g

If you're still here on the planet, God's got a plan for you. 

Sometimes, it seems to you like God's forgotten all about you. He hasn't. He hears you. He sees you. You're not invisible.

God knows exactly where you're at and He knows exactly what's going on in your life. He knows exactly how much you can take and how much you can't take. He may not be early, but He won't be late. 

Another way God tests our faith is through delays. We often ask ourselves, "When is this going to happen?! When am I going to get that job?!" 

It pays to be patient. But while you wait in faith, just know that God is working. God is doing things behind the scenes that you can't see.

Trust Him!

Being tested by God is simply part of the process of becoming more like Him. 

The more we lean into Him, the more grace He can pour on us.

Here is a the second way God tests our faith. Listen to Episode 20 for a dive deeper into my faith and your faith too!

God uses tests in your life to grow your character and strengthen your faith.  As long as you’re on Earth, you’ll be in constant growth and development to become more like Jesus. Hear my story of my faith being tested in this episode.

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." James 1: 2-4

The path alone is your greatest self growth journey. No matter where you are or what you're doing by yourself, God is always with you.

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." -Isaiah 41:10

Happy birthday to me! Thanks to God for 20 amazing years of life. 

How astonishing is it that today is June 16, and I am currently in John 16 in the Bible. It is not luck! It's God's grace.

I love Jesus, and my life could never and will never be the same because of Him. In this episode, I talk about how I was led to Christ in San Angelo, Texas. It's amazing! If you haven't listened to ANY of my episodes, give this one a chance!

No script. No bullet points. Straight from the top of my head. 

I want to be an echo of Christ.

When you're getting yourself together, it gets lonely. Choose growth over company anyway.

Those people may or may not stick around. But you will do what it takes to reach your dreams choosing growth over company. Your future self will thank you for the work you put in today.

Embrace the journey.

Here is a deeper version of this concept.

The way you see other people is the way you see yourself.

It's none of your business of what another person may think of you. That's their problem or insecurity to fix.
