ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!
Our guest for today’s episode is my friend, Kristen Dalton Wolfe. Kristen is a former Miss USA, an author, a speaker, and a coach — who has dedicated her life to helping women grow in their confidence and their callings.
And that’s exactly what we’re talking about today… confidence.
Now, if you’re anything like me, you’ve spent a lot more of your life feeling insecure than you have feeling confident. You want to feel confident, like, deeply truly confident, but you’re not sure how to get there. And there also might be part of you that wonders if confidence is something we should be striving for. Should we be striving for confidence? Or to know our identity in Christ? And again, how do we do either of those things? And also, aren’t we supposed to be humble? Is confidence the opposite of humility? Like I said — we have all kinds of questions.
And really, when it comes down to it, we want to know who God created us to be, and stand tall and confident in that identity, but for a million reasons that’s just really hard.
We’re going to talk through so much of that today. Kristen has some incredible, life-changing wisdom to share and I can’t wait for you to hear from her!

When we start to believe what God says about us, what changes in our lives?
You start to own who you are
You’re unapologetic
You start setting boundaries
Scripture Mentioned:
“You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.” Song of Solomon 4:7
“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” - 2 Timothy 1:7
“So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.” - James 3:5-8
