From Unworthy to Beloved (Breaking Free From Insecurity)

In, From Unworthy to Beloved – Breaking Free from Insecurity, Lenae shares her struggle with feelings of insecurity, unworthiness, and fear. Her self-worth was largely determined by what others said (or did not say) about her and by society’s definition of success. As she sought to find her true identity in Jesus Christ, she became able to calm her fears, unmask her insecurities, and let go of her desire to be in control so that she could follow Him. In doing so, God led her down an unexpected path that turned out much differently, but much more beautifully, than she could have ever imagined.
