A Biblical Perspective on Confidence

1. Master Yourself → Renew Your Mind

Robert talks about mastering fears and insecurities. The Bible says true mastery begins with the renewal of the mind:

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind…” (Romans 12:2).

Instead of self-control through willpower alone, we find it by letting the Spirit guide our thoughts and emotions (Galatians 5:22-23). Biblical confidence is rooted not in self, but in God’s Spirit within us.

Greene emphasizes reading people well. Scripture agrees—but frames it as wisdom and love:

“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” (Proverbs 20:5).

  Closing: Encourage listeners that true confidence is not self-made but God-breathed boldness (Acts 4:13 ).
