So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God,
you will receive what he has promised.Hebrews 10:35-36
Today we have a short video message based on our key verse. I recorded this message to encourage and equip you as we begin our Confident Heart journey! In my video message I share how we can stop throwing away our confidence and start throwing away our doubts instead! I also show you how to replace your uncertainties with the certainty and security of God’s promises – every day! Please click the arrow below to watch.

- Message Notes: Although the bideo and message notes say Segment 3, I decided to make this Segment 1 for us, so just ignore that little detail. You can download my video “Message Notes” in a PDF format here or in a MSWord doc here. I encourage you to watch the message once and let God just speak to your heart. Then watch it again and follow along with the message notes (if you want to) which include parts of the message, verses and blanks to fill in. 🙂
- This Week’s Assignments: Please watch today’s video today and finish reading (or start reviewing) Chapter One. Then when you have time, answer the questions at the end of the chapter. I’ll post a PDF to download with our word and verse of the week here later today. (Heading out the door to a Dr appt this morning.) Then on Friday we’ll have another post where we’ll share/discuss our answers and get to know each other a little better.
- Connecting in Community: Ok friends, let’s talk. What are your thoughts about today’s video message? Are you going to take the 7-day challenge and actually write down your doubts? What about printing the download? Where will you put a copy or two so that you have it with you to help you identify your doubts and replace them with God’s truth?

this study has been such a blessing, because every area of my life is a walk in faith right now. god is calling me to some pretty ….intense areas of faith lately. letting him take control of my career and my love life is not easy, and very painful, and i often feel very insecure as a result. taking steps boldly in faith is very hard, but i’m excited to see what god is doing. trusting god while he’s doing it, especially since i don’t see a way out, is not easy, but then…he never calls us to easy, does he?
I think I am going to like this study. I have been involved in ministry for the past 7 years and yet this is still a struggle for me. My mentor tells me that I am negative and that I need to find my peace in God. She also has pointed out how I doubt myself so. I am going to try the trashcan idea every a doubt arises this week because I don’t want them to paralyze me anymore.
I ilked throwing away every doubt-holding onto God’s truth by making a commitment to His truth- to be confident we must hold on to God’s promises His word. I too am going to be intentional about holding on to His word, His truth this week.
I love the act of writing down my doubts and throwing them away. It’s such a simple thing and yet such a powerful reminder that I do not have to live with them.
I am hoping to get a lot out of this study. I am constantly doubting myself and I’m scared of what plans God has for me. I am trying to get back into church and becoming a good christian. I often let my past get the best of me and I feel like it may be holding me back. My husband isn’t a christian and that’s part of why I have stopped going to church, I don’t want to go alone and I don’t want him to go because everyone can tell he doesn’t want to be there. I don’t apply to jobs because I’m afraid I will fail and that I’m not good enough so I stick with my dead end job. I would love to become a more confident woman and look forward to reading this book.
