3 Steps to Boost Confidence and Self-Worth

In the video "3 Steps to Boost Confidence and Self-Worth," Pastor Scott Thom discusses how to enhance self-worth and confidence through three key areas: character, competence, and the promises of Jesus. He emphasizes that true self-worth is grounded in one’s character and values, the development of skills and abilities, and ultimately, the unconditional love and validation found in Christ. He encourages viewers to avoid comparison with others and instead focus on personal growth and relationship with God.

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.
- Philippians 3:12 (NKJV)

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
- 1 Timothy 6:12 (NKJV)

[Verse]
Ain't reached the summit yet, No!
Climbs get steeper as I go
Ain't no crown on my head still
Gonna press till I get my fill

[Verse]
Ain't no saint walking on air
Got dirt on my hands, despair
Holding on to what He said
Pull me up from what I dread

[Chorus]
Pressing on through the storm, the rain
Chasing dreams through the grit and pain
Got no halo, just scars and grief
He's got me holding strong in belief

[Verse]
Every stumble, every fall
Climbing higher through it all
Ain't no perfection in sight
But in His grip, I fight

[Bridge]
Eyes fixed on the end unseen
For the hope that burns between
Ain't laid back ain't slowing down
Gonna claim that higher ground

[Chorus]
Pressing on through the storm, the rain
Chasing dreams through the grit and pain
Got no halo, just scars and grief
He's got me holding strong in belief
