83 | God’s Voice vs. Inner Critic: How to Tell the Difference in Business
Show notes
Key Talking Points:
Understanding the Inner Critic
Fear-based, critical, negative.
Points out your flaws, magnifies insecurities ("You're not ready," "You're not qualified").
Often rooted in past experiences or comparison.
Characteristics of God’s Voice
Always aligned with Scripture.
Encourages, corrects lovingly, brings peace (John 10:27, Romans 8:1).
Prompts growth but not out of fear or shame.
Practical Ways to Discern the Difference:
Test the thoughts against the Word (2 Timothy 3:16).
Notice the fruit: Does it bring peace or anxiety? (Galatians 5:22-23)
Pray & pause: Talk to God and listen for the response
Seek wise counsel: Other believers/experiences can help confirm.
Why It Matters in Business Decisions:
Your calling requires bold steps—don’t let the inner critic paralyze you.
God equips those He calls (Exodus 4:10-12).
Daily Practices to Strengthen God’s Voice in Your Mind:
Daily Scripture reading.
Journaling God's promises over your business.
Replacing negative self-talk with truth.
