Find your brave! Guest, Amy Debrucque is the Founder of the Life On Purpose Movement and the host of the Life On Purpose Podcast. She has also co-authored a book with her young adult daughter Blair, entitled Embolden. And that is what our conversation is based on today. What does embolden mean and how can this book, this tool help us to overcome the things that hold us back in life.
On the cover of the book is the definition of Embolden, to give someone the courage or confidence to do something or behave in a certain way. If you struggle with anxiety, fear, worry, or stress then Embolden is a great resource to engage with. It is a self-help book that will help you find your brave! Amy and Blair have blended together what I would define as a reflective journal with Biblical encouragement.
It’s a soft back book with beautifully saturated colors and images. It takes you through 4 weeks of daily, simplistic steps that focus on 4 areas. Week 1 is fear. Week 2 is kindness. Week 3 is temptation and week 4 is growth. It’s a very thoughtful presentation with regard to the way it’s laid out. It’s uncluttered, which I think is so nice if you’re dealing with anxiety because it immediately gives you a calm feeling.
The content is easily digestible for both comprehension and engaging the activation steps. Which by the way, I get no financial benefit if you order this book. It’s just that I am in love with the process and the presentation. It’s the best tool I’ve seen on living out 2 Corin 10:5 which says, “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.“
So this process of the 4 weeks of focusing on specific areas of our lives will equip us to take what we believe, hold it up to Christ’s word. When we do that we allow God to speak His truths into our beliefs. Because God’s truths never fail to overwhelm a lie, we win. What does that mean for us?
We gain victory over the lies we have believed based on the truths of God’s word. That’s how we bring our thoughts and beliefs captive to the truth of what God says. We believe God’s word and we transform our thought life, our running internal dialog making it obedient (changing our belief patterns) to the truth.
Feel like you need a breakthrough? Want to find your brave?! Check out the process that Embolden lays out. Small incremental steps…which reminds me of Zachariah 4:10 …. “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.” So, small incremental steps and in no time you will have dismantled the fear that was keeping you from living out all that God has created you for!
As Amy says, “Fear isn’t going to go away, but courage can get the final say”
Come on get your breakthrough!
Live Loved and Thrive!
