Step 2 in the TRUTH Mindset™ Framework

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." — Psalm 119:105 KJV

Once the Lie is Exposed, Truth Must Take Its Place

In the first step of the TRUTH Mindset™ Framework, we learned to Target the Lie by identifying false beliefs that have been shaping our thoughts, emotions, and actions. But awareness alone will not set us free. A weed pulled up without being replaced leaves empty ground, ready for another seed — possibly another lie — to take root.

That is why the second step is Replace with Scripture — an intentional choice to anchor your mind in the unchanging truth of God’s Word.

Scripture is the Only Firm Foundation

The world’s advice often changes with trends, opinions, and feelings. God’s Word never changes. His truth has remained steadfast through every culture, generation, and season of life.

Jesus said in John 17:17: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
When we replace the lies we have believe...

John C. Maxwell wisely says, “The ability to connect with others is a major determining factor in reaching your full potential.” He goes on to remind us that “connecting is all about others.”

This principle is especially true for Christian women seeking to cultivate healthy, meaningful relationships. Whether in marriage, friendship, family, or community, connection is the bridge that allows us to love well, grow together, and fulfill God’s purposes.

📖 “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow.” — Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 KJV

Connection Is About Others

We live in a world where relationships often get reduced to convenience or self-interest. But true connection requires selflessness. It is about stepping outside ourselves to listen, care, and invest in the lives of others.

When we connect, we communicate: “I see you. You matter. You are valued.”

This is not just a leadership principle from John Maxw...

In a world that constantly pressures women to prove their worth, earn approval, and strive for perfection, it is easy to live in a state of exhaustion and insecurity. But the truth of God’s Word reminds us of something greater: our lives are not defined by performance—they are secure in Christ.

📖 “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” — Colossians 3:3 KJV

This verse calls us into freedom. The old life of striving, fear, and self-sufficiency has been put to death. Our true life is hidden in Christ. That means we no longer need to depend on our own strength—we live in His.

Lie-Locked Living vs. Truth Mindset

The Lie: “I must hold everything together on my own.”
The Truth: “My true life is secure and hidden with Christ in God, and I live in His strength, not my own.”

Lie-Locked Living tells us that security comes from achievement, reputation, or control. But the Truth Mindset declares that security comes from Jesus alone. When we rest in Him, no circumstanc...

John C. Maxwell, one of the world’s most trusted leadership experts, often says: “In order to reach your potential, you must be intentional about personal growth. Growth does not just happen.”

Those words ring true for every Christian woman. We desire to grow—in faith, in family, in our careers, in confidence—but if we are honest, growth can feel frustratingly out of reach. Why? Because growth does not happen automatically. It requires intention, strategy, and accountability.

This is where life coaching becomes so powerful.

Growth Does Not “Just Happen”

Too often we think time alone equals growth:

• “I’ll grow wiser as I get older.”

• “Life experience will teach me everything I need to know.”

• “If I wait long enough, I’ll figure it out.”

But as Maxwell reminds us, growth is never guaranteed with time—it is only guaranteed with intention. Without purpose and direction, many women live the same year over and over again, never stepping into their true potential.

World-renowned leadership expert John C. Maxwell once said, “Everyone communicates, but few connect.” His book Everyone Communicates, Few Connect reminds us that true success in business and leadership depends not on how much we say, but on how deeply we connect with others.

For Christian women in business, connection is more than a leadership skill—it is a Kingdom calling. Jesus Himself modeled the art of connection, whether He was speaking to crowds or ministering one-on-one. He found common ground, communicated clearly, inspired deeply, and always stayed authentic.

📖 “Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” — Colossians 4:6 KJV

Five Principles of Connection for Christian Women in Business

1. Find Common Ground

Connection begins where you and the other person meet. Whether with clients, coworkers, or team members, seek the things you share.

• Ask questions.

• Listen with genuine curiosity.

• Show

Lie-Locked Living Begins in the Mind

Many Christian women walk through life weighed down by invisible burdens — assumptions, wounds, memories, and voices from the past that whisper, “You are not enough,” “You will always be stuck,” or “You will never change.” These lies become so familiar that we begin to operate as though they are truth.

But here is the good news: You were not created to live lie-locked. You were created to live truth-liberated.

The first step in the TRUTH Mindset™ Framework is to Target the Lie — a process of spiritual awakening and mental awareness. Before you can replace, align, or activate truth, you must become aware of what is actually shaping your thoughts and behavior.

What Does It Mean to “Target the Lie”?

To target means to pinpoint, to aim directly at something, to bring it into focus. This first step is not about judgment — it is about clarity. In order to be tran...

September begins with Labor Day, a time to honor the contributions of workers across our nation. It also marks the start of Healthy Aging Month, a national awareness campaign reminding us to care for our health and embrace the beauty of growing older.

For Christian women, both observances carry a spiritual reminder: our work and our well-being are gifts from God that must be stewarded with faith and intention.

📖 “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” — Colossians 3:23 KJV

Rest, Work, and God’s Design

Labor Day reminds us that work is not just a paycheck—it is worship when offered to the Lord. Whether you are in a career, managing a household, serving in ministry, or caring for others, your labor has eternal value.

But God also reminds us of the importance of rest. From the very beginning, He modeled Sabbath as part of His creation design. Labor Day is a call to pause and reflect: Are we working from a place of striving, or from a place of a...

Every Christian woman longs for closeness with Jesus, yet life’s demands can make that relationship feel distant. Between responsibilities at home, pressures at work, and the busyness of daily life, intimacy with Christ can easily get pushed aside. But true spirituality is not about what we do for Him—it is about who we are with Him.

📖 “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” — James 4:8 KJV

Jesus does not call us to religion or routine. He calls us to relationship. He longs for daily communion with His daughters, where His truth brings peace, His presence brings comfort, and His Spirit brings guidance.

Why Relationship with Jesus Matters

• He is our foundation. Without Him, we build on shifting sand (Matthew 7:24–27).

• He is our peace. His presence calms every storm (John 14:27).

• He is our guide. His Spirit leads us into truth and wise decisions (John 16:13).

• He is our friend. Jesus calls us friends, not servants (John 15:15).

Do you ever find yourself wondering:

• Why am I here?

• What is the point of all this effort?

• Will my life ever truly matter?

For many Christian women, beneath the busy schedules, achievements, and responsibilities, there lingers a quiet ache —
a fear of living a life that lacks true purpose and meaning.

But here is the beautiful truth:

God has created you on purpose, for a purpose — and no season, no circumstance, and no past mistake can erase His plan.

 

💔 The Lie: “My life has no purpose or meaning.”

This lie sounds like:

• “I missed my chance.”

• “Other women are more gifted or called.”

• “It is too late for me.”

But God says:

Truth Declaration:
“I am fearfully and wonderfully made. God has prepared good works for me to walk in, and my life has purpose and meaning in Him.”
