Step 3 in the TRUTH Mindset™ Framework

📖 “Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.” — Psalm 119:34 KJV
📖 “In all thy getting get understanding.” — Proverbs 4:7 KJV

After exposing the lie (T – Target the Lie) and replacing it with Scripture (R – Replace with Scripture), it might be tempting to stop there. But God does not invite us to simply repeat His Word as though it were a chant. He calls us to understand it, believe it, and live by it.

This is where alignment happens. It is the moment when a verse moves from your head into your heart. Knowledge alone will not transform you—but Spirit-revealed understanding will.

Understanding Matters

Many Christian women know Scripture but still struggle with fear, shame, or doubt. Why? Because the Word has not moved from information to revelation.

Think of it this way:

• Information is knowing what the verse says.

• Revelation is knowing what it means for you right now.

Independence is a skill that not every woman possesses at birth. Of course, everyone has to become somewhat independent as they grow up towards adulthood, but it is far easier for some to accept their independence than others. Evading independence as an adult creates problems in many different areas of your life, especially as you enter into professional and personal interactions.

Learn to:

• be your own strongest supporter – vital to success in any area of life.

It can be challenging for some women to realize they are responsible for any life occurrences—choices made shape your life. Your decisions develop your direction. Being practical about this is beneficial and necessary. When you know you can rely on and take total care of yourself, you can accomplish anything.

• stand on our own two feet – although trust is not always detrimental.

It is healthy to be able to trust and rely on others. What you should not do is leave your potential for joy in someone else’s h...

As long as I allow myself to see the beauty surrounding me, my life is enhanced a hundred-fold. Therefore I strive to release any negative thoughts and feelings that can blind me from this beauty.

Beauty abounds in my loved ones and my relationships with them. Each one has its unique beauty, unlike anyone else. I see this beauty in their smile, feel it in their caress, and hear it in their song of life.

They share their beauty in their hopes, dreams, and aspirations. I listen and am lifted as I encourage them. When I feel down, they let their beauty shine through to bring me back up again.

I find beauty in everyday things - a wildflower lifting its bloom through the rocky soil, the puppy that greets me with glee, the crystals of the morning dew, and the soft comfort of my bed at the end day.

Even humdrum routines bring the beauty of their own. When I get something done at work, it is a beautiful thing! When I make a tasty dinner, that is beautiful also, and I thoroughly...

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.

Why 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 bel...

How I deal with the world each day largely determines the kind of day I have and the quality of connections I experience. So I make a conscious decision daily to be cheerful. I strive to spread joy.

Because I prefer that people positively affect me, I want to do the same for everyone I come into contact with too. This means managing my mood and ensuring that I stay positive.

However, to have something to share with others, my cup must be full. So I also tend to my joy by engaging in interests that satisfy me. This helps uplift my mood and empowers my approach to life to be filled with joy and passion.

I do my best to both uplift others and be uplifted by individuals I meet. Life is more pleasant when I am in the company of happy people. To boost the spirits of others, I am joyful and spread happiness and positivity among those around me as much as I can.

Today, I promise to put all my effort into releasing joy everywhere I go. I stay on top of my moods so I can consciou...

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 in a lie-locked existence. 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 shaping your thoughts and behavior.

Target the Lies

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. To be transformed by the renewing of your mind, you must identify what needs to be renewed.

Ask yourself:

• What lie am I believing about myself, my wort

You cannot talk about independence in life without mentioning financial freedom. Becoming an adult comes with many responsibilities, not the least of which is making your own money and learning to provide for yourself appropriately.

Learning how to budget your money is also essential. As you enter adulthood, learning to budget and pay your bills every month on time will allow you to build strong credit.

And just about every major purchase you will make will look to your credit score and credit report as representative of how consistently you pay your bills and utilize your available credit.

Here are five ways to grow your financial independence:

1. Learn to live within your means. What this means is, do not spend all the money you make. When you bring home your paycheck, you will have bills that you must pay first to make sure you are on time. After that, you can decide what to do with the rest.
2. Learn to create a realistic budget and stick to it. By utilizing a budget, you

Life can be overwhelming. Work is busy. My home life is hectic. And my social calendar is full. So I make conscious decisions to schedule free time to engage in activities that fulfill me.

I understand that I am the only one responsible for ensuring I do things that bring me joy. It may be spending time with my husband, going out with my friends, playing a game with my child, or just having some “me” time.

The more joy I experience, the better prepared I am to make it through the challenging moments in life.

I attempt to end my days by engaging in activities that bring me comfort and solace. I often read a book, paint a picture, or watch an old movie to relax. I might call my parents or a close friend.

I take part in actions that make me smile or laugh. I am excited and happy to spend time doing my favorite things. I know I am blessed.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How much spare time do I have daily, on average?
2. When was the last time I spent my time doing somethi

“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.” – Brian Tracy

Ladies, have you ever found yourself juggling doubt, fear, and insecurity—and deep down, you knew the thoughts swirling around in your mind did not align with God’s Word?

You are not the only one.

As Christian women, we often face internal battles that no one else sees. But the enemy’s most effective weapon is subtle: a lie believed as truth. That is why we must learn to recognize, confront, and replace those lies with the unshakable Word of God and develop a Truth Mindset.

That is where the T.R.U.T.H.™ Mindset Coaching comes in!

T – Target the Lie (Awareness)

Life Coaching breakthroughs begin with awareness. You cannot overcome what you will not confront.

Ask yourself:

• What am I believing right now that is keeping me stuck?

• What thought plays on repeat that cause

One of the most challenging aspects of independence is that many people today fear it. They fear to be in control of their own life because that means that you cannot place blame - for anything - on anyone but yourself: scary prospect, that.

But society today has a confused outlook on what independence truly is. Freedom is not about you hardening yourself, suppressing who you are, and never letting anyone help you. Surprised?

Dependence and independence are pretty misunderstood.

• Independent does not mean you are narcissistic and anti-social, overly-driven and aggressive.
• Dependence does not mean you are weak, spineless, or cannot do anything for yourself.

First of all, society hints that depending on anyone is a sign of weakness. Anytime you get involved with another, and you begin to feel as if you can rely on them (a significant definition of dependence), others may make you feel as if you are doing something wrong.

This is not the case. But if you listen to that l...
