Using the Cognitive Ladder, I break down the thought patterns in the David & Goliath story - David’s identity - based thinking vs. Israel’s fear - based thinking.

When I finally realized that Christ doesn’t just save me but actually lives through me, everything changed. My confidence stopped coming from my own strength and started flowing from His presence within me. The pressure to perform, impress, or prove myself lifted. Christ in me is not an idea—it’s a reality. His life becomes my life, His peace becomes my peace, and His power becomes my power for everyday moments.

I tried so hard to live the Christian life, but deep down I felt like a fake Christian- caught between who i was supposed to be and who I actually believed myself to be.
