269. Silence the Inner Critic with Mary Marantz

<p>In this episode, Rebecca and Mary talk about the importance of silencing our inner critic and focusing our hearts on God’s word. This podcast series follows each individual chapter of Rebecca's debut book <em>Do the Thing: Gospel-Centered Goals, Gumption, and Grace for the Go-Getter Girl</em> and explores relevant scripture passages in each episode (this one is about Chapter 10 - Silence the Inner Critic). She shares a journaling exercise she has developed based on a passage from Philippians (verse 8) that can help identify incorrect or unhelpful beliefs. In this episode, 2 Corinthians 2:14-17 is discussed which reminds us that we are the &quot;aroma of Christ&quot; and to spread the fragrance of the knowledge of him. The inner critic and overthinking are common themes explored in the conversation, and small steps are encouraged to move forward.</p>
