Are you using your gifts for God's glory? With Rebecca George

<h2>Often, things hold us back from doing what we’re called to do, or what an experience has led us to. It may be fear, doubt, or it may be a lack of confidence from deep-rooted insecurity.</h2> <p>These thoughts and emotions often stem from not being rooted in Biblical truth. And when this happens, using your gifts for God's glory is almost impossible.</p> <p>When you are rooted in deep Biblical truth, even though doubt sets in, because you are human, you’ll know where to turn.</p> <h3>When using your gifts for God's glory, don’t let Satan hold you back</h3> <p>Listen.
