STEP THREE
What you believe about yourself silently shapes every decision you make. Step Three challenges the internal narratives that have kept you stuck—stories of limitation, shame, and fear—and replaces them with truth, grace, and empowerment. This is your invitation to rewrite the script and start believing in the most powerful version of you.
Step Overview
So many people live with a false identity—not because they’re dishonest, but because they’ve been defined by past wounds, labels, or lies. Reframing your truth is about identifying the core beliefs you’ve carried and realigning them with God’s vision for your life. In this step, you don’t just change your thoughts—you change your story.

Deep Dive
Truth is more than facts—it’s the foundation of freedom. When your inner dialogue is shaped by criticism or fear, your life contracts. But when it’s shaped by grace, love, and divine identity, your life expands. Reframing doesn’t mean pretending everything is fine. It means being honest enough to see pain—and powerful enough to transform it. It means learning to say, “That happened, but it doesn’t define me.”
