into what we want to talk about today, we want to remind our regular listeners about something really exciting that\u2019s happening here at FamilyLife \u2013 here at year end we\u2019ve had some friends of the ministry who have stepped forward.\u00a0 Well, they\u2019ve made an exciting offer!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 An exclamation

here for your December match the largest gift you\u2019ve ever had for this match \u2013 one million dollars \u2013 because we see what you\u2019re doing, we see the timeliness of the message of <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em>\u00a0 You\u2019re anchored in the scripture, you\u2019re for the family, you\u2019re known by what you\u2019re for, and we like the way that you\u2019re doing

we want to give some money to the matching gift fund as well\u201d.\u00a0 So, what\u2019s happened is now we\u2019re able to come to listeners and say, \u201cIf you make a donation during the month of December, your donation is going to be matched on a dollar for dollar basis up to a total of $1,250,000.\u201d\u00a0 Which again as you said the largest December matching gift we\u2019ve ever received, and frankly we\u2019re wondering do we have enough listeners to help us take full advantage of this matching gift?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>We are, in fact I wish you could be here as a listener in the halls at FamilyLife.\u00a0 There is an electricity here of anticipating God doing something very significant here at year end

\u2013 actually the first book you wrote together?\u00a0 <em>Building Your Mate\u2019s Self Esteem<\/em> \u2013 is that right?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s right. I thought, here\u2019s a book we\u2019re looking at called\u00a0 <em>I\u2019m Not Good Enough, <\/em>which is kind of the other side of the coin.\u00a0 I wondered did Dennis and Barbara write <em>Building Your Mate\u2019s Self Esteem <\/em>because Dennis was struggling with self-esteem, or because Barbara was struggling with self-esteem or just because you saw other couples doing it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Well, I was struggling with knowing how to love my wife, and she was struggling with self-esteem, which is probably why she wasn\u2019t.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Because her husband didn\u2019t know how to love her very well?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Because I was in the process of learning that.\u00a0 I do think though honestly helping her believe the truth about herself according to the scripture, and at the same time her belief in me speaking the truth in love to me was all about building one another up.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s a timeless message from the scripture that our guest on today\u2019s broadcast has picked up in her book:\u00a0 <em>I\u2019m Not Good Enough and Other Lies Women Tell Themselves.<\/em><em>\u00a0 <\/em>Sharon Jaynes joins us again on <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em><em>\u00a0 <\/em>Sharon, welcome back.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Thank you \u2013 I\u2019m delighted to be here!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Sharon is an author, a speaker at women\u2019s conferences, she has been married to her husband Steve since 1980, and they have one adult son.\u00a0 You know I\u2019m looking over all the books that you\u2019ve written Sharon \u2013 have you always believed in yourself as a writer?\u00a0 Or, is this part of the message of this book:\u00a0 <em>I\u2019m Not Good Enough?<\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>You know it\u2019s so funny because people say is this something that you dreamed about when you were a little girl?\u00a0 Absolutely not.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t spell when I was younger:\u00a0 I\u2019m still not a very good speller!\u00a0 I didn\u2019t read much when I was in high school, and a funny thing when my son was born in 1984 I just started reading everything I could get my hands on, and I began to love words, and love writing.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s as if God just opened up this whole part of my brain that I didn\u2019t even know was there.\u00a0 But, no that wasn\u2019t something I have always wanted to do.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t something I thought about.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, my college degree is in dental hygiene, so I actually took all Science and Math classes in college.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Well, your book outlines a number of lies that women can believe.\u00a0 In a moment I want you to go over just a number of them real quickly.\u00a0 But, I was looking forward to asking you this question \u2013 do you think the title of this book, and the lie I\u2019m not good enough is the biggest lie that women are tempted to believe, and to embrace in their lives?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I do.\u00a0 I think it just spills over into every area of our life.\u00a0 We say I\u2019m not a good enough wife, I\u2019m not a good enough mother, I\u2019m not a good enough daughter, I\u2019m not a good enough child, and as I\u2019ve talked with women in ministry for the past 25 years that\u2019s what keeps coming up.\u00a0 It comes across in different ways, and they say I\u2019m not good enough at this, or I\u2019m not good enough at that, but that\u2019s the lie that they\u2019re buying into.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDennis, they\u2019re looking in the culture \u2013 they\u2019re seeing billboards, magazines, they\u2019re seeing women on the television screen, they\u2019re comparing themselves to other people, they\u2019re getting a message from the world that they\u2019re definitely not good enough, but they\u2019re getting that lie from the enemy, too.\u00a0 He\u2019s the one that\u2019s feeding all of that to tell us that we\u2019re just not measuring up.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>So, is the lie one of inadequacy?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Inferiority, insecurity, and inadequacy those are the three \u201cI\u201ds.\u00a0 It\u2019s interesting they all start with I because we\u2019re focusing on ourselves, and not who we are as a child of God.\u00a0 So, I wrap it up in those three words.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>For some women all three of these \u2013 inferiority, inadequacy, and insecurity it can be like the lie gets a grip on a woman\u2019s soul and they\u2019ve tried to get loose from that, and they don\u2019t know how to.\u00a0 You talk about it as strongholds in their lives explain what you mean by that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Well, a stronghold is a thought pattern that\u2019s formed over a period of time that\u2019s just brick by brick, thought by thought.\u00a0 It really holds you captive and that becomes the undercurrent of every decision that you make.\u00a0 A stronghold can also occur from a one-time traumatic event.\u00a0 Let\u2019s say someone was raped, or they were beaten \u2013 they can have a stronghold of fear that comes out of that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe only way to destroy that is to change the way that we think.\u00a0 We in the Christian realm, and I guess in the world\u2019s realm, too, we are all the time trying to change the way we act.\u00a0 But, you cannot act differently than you think so we have to change the way that we think.\u00a0 The Bible talks about renewing your mind:\u00a0 It says, \u201cDo not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Do you think your insecurity that you had growing up was a stronghold in your life?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>It absolutely was a stronghold!\u00a0 Someone might be thinking oh but then she became a Christian, and it was all gone, and God healed her, and it was happily ever after.\u00a0 But, you know what that wasn\u2019t the case.\u00a0 I became a Christian when I was 14 through a mother in my neighborhood.\u00a0 I was so insecure before but then you know what happened?\u00a0 I became an insecure saved Christian.\u00a0 I mean I was going to heaven, but I wasn\u2019t sure what I was supposed to do until I got there.\u00a0 So, I was just wrapped up in all those feelings of inadequacy.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, I had a new lie you see \u2013 the new lie was I\u2019m not a good enough Christian.\u00a0 I can\u2019t pray like other people pray.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have the faith other people have.\u00a0 I don\u2019t see God doing in my life like I see in other peoples lives.\u00a0 It was a whole new set of lies, and we see that with Christians.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tChristian women have such a feeling of inadequacy in their faith and in their Christian walk.\u00a0 They compare themselves which is really dangerous because we mess up.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to all make mistakes.\u00a0 We can look through scripture and see that.\u00a0 I mean Peter is such a good example of someone who messed up.\u00a0 He made a terrible mistake.\u00a0 Three times he denied Christ.\u00a0 Did He say three strikes you\u2019re out, and cut him off?\u00a0 Absolutely not, I mean when He was resurrected He said, \u201cGo tell Peter and my disciples that I am alive.\u201d\u00a0 Then we see when He met him on the beach and He asked him three times Peter do you love me?\u00a0 He was reinstating him into ministry basically.\u00a0 He was telling him I love you even though you made this terrible mistake.\u00a0 That is hard for us to grasp and to learn because you know what?\u00a0 We as humans don\u2019t act like that.\u00a0\u00a0 We don\u2019t love that way naturally so it\u2019s hard for us to understand that is how God loves us.\u00a0 We think we do have to perform.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember a friend of mine Annabel Gillham telling me a story about her son and how he taught her how God loved her.\u00a0 Annabel\u2019s second child was born profoundly retarded and by the time he was moving into his early teen years they couldn\u2019t care for him \u2013 he needed full-time care.\u00a0 He was actually in an institution at that point, but they would bring him home on the weekends.\u00a0 One particular weekend Mason was strapped in a chair.\u00a0 He had food and drool coming down his face, and she was washing dishes just mourning the fact that she was going to have to take Mason back to his home, and God just began to speak to her:\u00a0 Well, Annabel do you love Mason?\u00a0 \u201cOh God \u2013 I love Mason so much!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell, why?\u00a0 He can\u2019t perform for you, he\u2019s never going to walk down the aisle of a church and accept Christ, he\u2019s never going to get on a school bus, he\u2019s never going to get married, and have children.\u00a0 He can\u2019t perform for you.\u00a0 Why do you love him?\u00a0 She said, \u201cOh God, I love him because he\u2019s mine\u201d.\u00a0 He said, \u201cAnnabel that is why I love you just because you\u2019re mine.\u00a0 I don\u2019t love you because you\u2019re neat and tidy, and you can perform well.\u00a0 I love you just because you\u2019re mine.\u201d\u00a0 So, God sent her that incredible picture that day of God loving us just because we\u2019re His.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, and it seems like in most human relationships they\u2019re earned.\u00a0 Love and acceptance comes as a result of our performance.\u00a0 In the world it\u2019s the same thing.\u00a0 To really get a new standard and a new picture of how we have worth and value apart from our performance is really one of the keys to being able to answer this lie that the enemy throws at us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I think we really need to get a handle on comparison.\u00a0 People compare themselves to other people, women compare themselves to other women, and people in ministry compare themselves to other people in ministry.\u00a0 We\u2019ve got to stop doing that.\u00a0 We\u2019ve got to be as you mentioned earlier, we\u2019re God\u2019s workmanship doing a work that He\u2019s planned for us to do.\u00a0 It\u2019s very unique, it\u2019s very specific, and it\u2019s for us, and we need to stop comparing.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Comparison is really a trap!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>It is such a trap \u2013 nobody wins in comparison.\u00a0

are.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>You can \u2013 always!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Well, and we\u2019re all aware of our flaws, but we\u2019re also aware of our failures.\u00a0 How does a woman or how does anyone for that matter deal with the reality of failure in your life?\u00a0 I mean you think, I have blown it, I\u2019ve made a mess of things.\u00a0 I\u2019ve made mistakes that have been life altering mistakes for you or for other people you know.\u00a0 I mean I\u2019m thinking about folks I know who have been in some pretty messy situations in their lives.\u00a0 They\u2019re very aware of their failures \u2013 do they just kind of think well I\u2019m going to pretend that never happened and put on a happy face?\u00a0 What do you do?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I think that our failures can be incredible springboards for ministry.\u00a0 I think about the account of Jesus being resurrected from the dead.\u00a0 When He came back, and He went before those disciples they didn\u2019t know who He was until what \u2013 He held out His hands \u2013 they saw His scars.\u00a0 Once they saw His scars they knew it was Him, and I started praying about that.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLord why did He keep the scars?\u00a0 I mean He raised the dead, He healed the sick, He made the blind to see, He put fresh skin on the leper\u2019s hand, why did He keep the scars?\u00a0 Then it occurred to me \u2013 He kept the scars so that people would know who He was because they were precious to Him.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSee, when we aren\u2019t ashamed of our failures God will use those very failures \u2013 those are scars in our lives you see.\u00a0 People will come to know Christ because we\u2019re not ashamed of our scars.\u00a0 See Satan wants us to think \u2013 oh you don\u2019t want anybody to know you\u2019ve done that \u2013 you can\u2019t tell anybody you\u2019ve done that.\u00a0 You\u2019ve had three abortions.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t let anybody know that \u2013 they\u2019ll kick you out of the church.\u00a0 So, we hide it \u2013 we don\u2019t want anyone to know.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know I think about my own Father \u2013 this mean snake of a man, who drank, beat his wife, and he was a horrible man.\u00a0 But, when I was in my 20\u2019s my Father came to the Lord.\u00a0 You know what happened was God sent him on a five hundred mile trip away from home.\u00a0 He needed someone to pray for him, he found this pastor in the woods and my Father just poured out his heart to him, and just told him everything he had ever done.\u00a0 That man put his arm around my Dad and said, \u201cNow Alan \u2013 let me tell you what I have done.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe began to share that he had done the same things in his life \u2013 the same failures in his life that my Father had committed in his own life and my Father saw Jesus in him.\u00a0 So, when we think of our failures and think God could never use me \u2013 I\u2019ve messed up terribly \u2013 all that is so much a lie of the enemy.\u00a0 Because see when you have a beautiful scar not a wound but something you\u2019ve gone through:\u00a0 A failure that God has then healed in your life He\u2019s redeemed it!\u00a0 Then we turn around and use that for good \u2013 we turn around, and it helps other people.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPeople are a lot more impressed with our failures that God has turned around and used for good than they are with perfection in our life.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know many people who\u2019ve come to Christ because somebody has come up and told them how perfect they were, but they do come to Christ when someone says, \u201cYou know what \u2013 I have messed up terribly, and this is how God has forgiven me, this is how He is redeeming that, and He\u2019s turning it around, and He\u2019s using it for good.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I think a lot of people today are looking for the very authenticity you are talking about.\u00a0 It\u2019s people who are willing to peel back the layers of their lives, and let others look in and see where they have failed.\u00a0 The very issue of three abortions\u2014we\u2019ve told some of those stories here on <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em><em>\u00a0 <\/em>When we tell those stories here the phone calls come in from other people who\u2019ve been locked up, and imprisoned in a self-imposed isolation around their sin.\u00a0 When finally somebody else came clean publicly, and declared it.\u00a0 It gave them the freedom to say, \u201cYou know what \u2013 there really is freedom in coming clean of your shame, and talking about the forgiveness of Christ that He offers.\u201d\u00a0 The great lie of the enemy is:\u00a0 What you\u2019ve done, Christ won\u2019t forgive you for, or He won\u2019t forgive you for that.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean, the cross represents forgiveness but God won\u2019t forgive you for that \u2013 well that\u2019s a lie and that lie is trying to keep individual people locked up in their own sin, and their own shame, and their own guilt, and not experiencing the love of Christ that ultimately came to set them free, and to use their story in other peoples lives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Revelations says, \u201cThey overcame him\u201d \u2013 talking about the enemy.\u00a0 They overcame Satan by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony.\u201d\u00a0 Just think about that \u2013 that our own personal stories have so much power that they\u2019re in the same sentence with the blood of the lamb.\u00a0 That is amazing \u2013 so no wonder he wants us to keep it quiet, no wonder he doesn\u2019t want us to know when to feel shame.\u00a0 But Dennis as you\u2019re talking about people saying, \u201cGod can\u2019t forgive me of that.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat I see even more than that is I hear women say, I know God forgives me, but I just can\u2019t forgive myself.\u00a0 I just can\u2019t forgive myself.\u00a0 When they say that, that\u2019s like saying that what Jesus did on the cross is not enough \u2013 that there has to be something more.\u00a0 That is one of the lies that I have to help women work through on just accepting and receiving that forgiveness.\u00a0

after a good nights rest he unlocks it, and he lets himself out.\u00a0 I was laughing about that scene one day, and I thought \u201cO Lord we do that.\u00a0 You have set us free \u2013 you\u2019ve set us free but we get those keys you see, and we unlock that door \u2013 we go back in there.\u00a0 We lock ourselves up into that prison of shame and that prison of condemnation.\u00a0 Jesus is standing on the outside thinking what in the world are you doing in there?\u00a0 I\u2019ve already set you free.\u00a0 We need to stop locking ourselves back up!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>One of the very first Bible verses I ever learned was 2 Corinthians 5:17.\u00a0 If any man is in Christ he is a new

it says, \u201cI am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0

remember?\u00a0 That really confused me, and then I went back through scripture, and I looked every time when it says, \u201cGod does remember.\u00a0 He remembered Noah, he remembered Sarah, it means He was about to do something.\u201d\u00a0 He was about to act so when it says, \u201cThat God doesn\u2019t remember or God forgets our sins that means He\u2019s not going to act on them anymore.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, He goes on to say in that same book Isaiah that He will make a roadway in the desert:\u00a0 Springs like an oasis to replenish and it\u2019s a picture Bob I think of the verse you just quoted how He makes us new and does a miracle in our lives.\u00a0 The issue is are we going to believe Him?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, that\u2019s the issue of faith.\u00a0 Are we going to believe that what God has said is true

culture around us?\u00a0 Really if we\u2019re going to reorient our thinking and rest in what is true then we need to be reminded of what is true.\u00a0 That\u2019s what Sharon has done for us in the

into what we want to talk about today, we want to remind our regular listeners about something really exciting that\u2019s happening here at FamilyLife \u2013 here at year end we\u2019ve had some friends of the ministry who have stepped forward.\u00a0 Well, they\u2019ve made an exciting offer!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 An exclamation

here for your December match the largest gift you\u2019ve ever had for this match \u2013 one million dollars \u2013 because we see what you\u2019re doing, we see the timeliness of the message of <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em>\u00a0 You\u2019re anchored in the scripture, you\u2019re for the family, you\u2019re known by what you\u2019re for, and we like the way that you\u2019re doing

we want to give some money to the matching gift fund as well\u201d.\u00a0 So, what\u2019s happened is now we\u2019re able to come to listeners and say, \u201cIf you make a donation during the month of December, your donation is going to be matched on a dollar for dollar basis up to a total of $1,250,000.\u201d\u00a0 Which again as you said the largest December matching gift we\u2019ve ever received, and frankly we\u2019re wondering do we have enough listeners to help us take full advantage of this matching gift?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>We are, in fact I wish you could be here as a listener in the halls at FamilyLife.\u00a0 There is an electricity here of anticipating God doing something very significant here at year end and then throughout 2010 as he uses us to rebuild the Christian family in America.\u00a0 We\u2019re just inviting you to be a part of it, and you know what if you do that we\u2019re going to be able to take full advantage of this matching grant that\u2019s been offered by these families.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>So, we\u2019re hoping to hear

\u2013 actually the first book you wrote together?\u00a0 <em>Building Your Mate\u2019s Self Esteem<\/em> \u2013 is that right?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s right. I thought, here\u2019s a book we\u2019re looking at called\u00a0 <em>I\u2019m Not Good Enough, <\/em>which is kind of the other side of the coin.\u00a0 I wondered did Dennis and Barbara write <em>Building Your Mate\u2019s Self Esteem <\/em>because Dennis was struggling with self-esteem, or because Barbara was struggling with self-esteem or just because you saw other couples doing it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Well, I was struggling with knowing how to love my wife, and she was struggling with self-esteem, which is probably why she wasn\u2019t.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Because her husband didn\u2019t know how to love her very well?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Because I was in the process of learning that.\u00a0 I do think though honestly helping her believe the truth about herself according to the scripture, and at the same time her belief in me speaking the truth in love to me was all about building one another up.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s a timeless message from the scripture that our guest on today\u2019s broadcast has picked up in her book:\u00a0 <em>I\u2019m Not Good Enough and Other Lies Women Tell Themselves.<\/em><em>\u00a0 <\/em>Sharon Jaynes joins us

began to love words, and love writing.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s as if God just opened up this whole part of my brain that I didn\u2019t even know was there.\u00a0 But, no that wasn\u2019t something I have always wanted to do.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t something I thought about.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, my college degree is in dental hygiene, so I actually took all Science and Math classes in college.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Well, your book outlines a number of lies that women can believe.\u00a0 In a moment I want you to go over just a number of them real quickly.\u00a0 But, I was looking forward to asking you this question \u2013 do you think the title of this book, and the lie I\u2019m not good enough is the biggest lie that women are tempted to believe, and to embrace in their lives?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I do.\u00a0 I think it just spills over into every area of our life.\u00a0 We say I\u2019m not a good enough wife, I\u2019m not a good enough mother, I\u2019m not a good enough daughter, I\u2019m not a good enough child, and as I\u2019ve talked with women in ministry for the past 25 years that\u2019s what keeps coming up.\u00a0 It comes across in different ways, and they say I\u2019m not good enough at this, or I\u2019m not good enough at that, but that\u2019s the lie that they\u2019re buying into.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDennis, they\u2019re looking in the culture \u2013 they\u2019re seeing billboards, magazines, they\u2019re seeing women on the television screen, they\u2019re comparing themselves to other people, they\u2019re getting a message from the world that they\u2019re definitely not good enough, but they\u2019re getting that lie from the enemy, too.\u00a0 He\u2019s the one that\u2019s feeding all of that to tell us that we\u2019re just not measuring up.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>So, is the lie one of inadequacy?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Inferiority, insecurity, and inadequacy those are the three \u201cI\u201ds.\u00a0 It\u2019s interesting they all start with I because we\u2019re focusing on ourselves, and not who we are as a child of God.\u00a0 So, I wrap it up in those three words.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>For some women all three of these \u2013 inferiority, inadequacy, and insecurity it can be like the lie gets a grip on a woman\u2019s soul and they\u2019ve tried to get loose from that, and they don\u2019t know how to.\u00a0 You talk about it as strongholds in their lives explain what you mean by that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Well, a stronghold is a thought pattern that\u2019s formed over a period of time that\u2019s just brick by brick, thought by thought.\u00a0 It really holds you captive and that becomes the undercurrent of every decision that you make.\u00a0 A stronghold can also occur from a one-time traumatic event.\u00a0 Let\u2019s say someone was raped, or they were beaten \u2013 they can have a stronghold of fear that comes out of that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe only way to destroy that is to change the way that we think.\u00a0 We in the Christian realm, and I guess in the world\u2019s realm, too, we are all the time trying to change the way we act.\u00a0 But, you cannot act differently than you think so we have to change the way that we think.\u00a0 The Bible talks about renewing your mind:\u00a0 It says, \u201cDo not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Do you think your insecurity that you had growing up was a stronghold in your life?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>It absolutely was a stronghold!\u00a0 Someone might be thinking oh but then she became a Christian, and it was all gone, and God healed her, and it was happily ever after.\u00a0 But, you know what that wasn\u2019t the case.\u00a0 I became a Christian when I was 14 through a mother in my neighborhood.\u00a0 I was so insecure before but then you know what happened?\u00a0 I became an insecure saved Christian.\u00a0 I mean I was going to heaven, but I wasn\u2019t sure what I was supposed to do until I got there.\u00a0 So, I was just wrapped up in all those feelings of inadequacy.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, I had a new lie you see \u2013 the new lie was I\u2019m not a good enough Christian.\u00a0 I can\u2019t pray like other people pray.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have the faith other people have.\u00a0 I don\u2019t see God doing in my life like I see in other peoples lives.\u00a0 It was a whole new set of lies, and we see that with Christians.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tChristian women have such a feeling of inadequacy in their faith and in their Christian walk.\u00a0 They compare themselves which is really dangerous because we mess up.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to all make mistakes.\u00a0 We can look through scripture and see that.\u00a0 I mean Peter is such a good example of someone who messed up.\u00a0 He made a terrible mistake.\u00a0 Three times he denied Christ.\u00a0 Did He say three strikes you\u2019re out, and cut him off?\u00a0 Absolutely not, I mean when He was resurrected He said, \u201cGo tell Peter and my disciples that I am alive.\u201d\u00a0 Then we see when He met him on the beach and He asked him three times Peter do you love me?\u00a0 He was reinstating him into ministry basically.\u00a0 He was telling him I love you even though you made this terrible mistake.\u00a0 That is hard for us to grasp and to learn because you know what?\u00a0 We as humans don\u2019t act like that.\u00a0\u00a0 We don\u2019t love that way naturally so it\u2019s hard for us to understand that is how God loves us.\u00a0 We think we do have to perform.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember a friend of mine Annabel Gillham telling me a story about her son and how he taught her how God loved her.\u00a0 Annabel\u2019s second child was born profoundly retarded and by the time he was moving into his early teen years they couldn\u2019t care for him \u2013 he needed full-time care.\u00a0 He was actually in an institution at that point, but they would bring him home on the weekends.\u00a0 One particular weekend Mason was strapped in a chair.\u00a0 He had food and drool coming down his face, and she was washing dishes just mourning the fact that she was going to have to take Mason back to his home, and God just began to speak to her:\u00a0 Well, Annabel do you love Mason?\u00a0 \u201cOh God \u2013 I love Mason so much!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell, why?\u00a0 He can\u2019t perform for you, he\u2019s never going to walk down the aisle of a church and accept Christ, he\u2019s never going to get on a school bus, he\u2019s never going to get married, and have children.\u00a0 He can\u2019t perform for you.\u00a0 Why do you love him?\u00a0 She said, \u201cOh God, I love him because he\u2019s mine\u201d.\u00a0 He said, \u201cAnnabel that is why I love you just because you\u2019re mine.\u00a0 I don\u2019t love you because you\u2019re neat and tidy, and you can perform well.\u00a0 I love you just because you\u2019re mine.\u201d\u00a0 So, God sent her that incredible picture that day of God loving us just because we\u2019re His.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, and it seems like in most human relationships they\u2019re earned.\u00a0 Love and acceptance comes as a result of our performance.\u00a0 In the world it\u2019s the same thing.\u00a0 To really get a new standard and a new picture of how we have worth and value apart from our performance is really one of the keys to being able to answer this lie that the enemy throws at us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I think we really need to get a handle on comparison.\u00a0 People compare themselves to other people, women compare themselves to other women, and people in ministry compare themselves to other people in ministry.\u00a0 We\u2019ve got to stop doing that.\u00a0 We\u2019ve got to be as you mentioned earlier, we\u2019re God\u2019s workmanship doing a work that He\u2019s planned for us to do.\u00a0 It\u2019s very unique, it\u2019s very specific, and it\u2019s for us, and we need to stop comparing.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Comparison is really a trap!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>It is such a trap \u2013 nobody wins in comparison.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>No, they don\u2019t \u2013 you can always find somebody who\u2019s doing it better than you are.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>You can \u2013 always!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Well, and we\u2019re all aware of our flaws, but we\u2019re also aware of our failures.\u00a0 How does a woman or how does anyone for that matter deal with the reality of failure in your life?\u00a0 I mean you think, I have blown it, I\u2019ve made a mess of things.\u00a0 I\u2019ve made mistakes that have been life altering mistakes for you or for other people you know.\u00a0 I mean I\u2019m thinking about folks I know who have been in some pretty messy situations in their lives.\u00a0 They\u2019re very aware of their failures \u2013 do they just kind of think well I\u2019m going to pretend that never happened and put on a happy face?\u00a0 What do you do?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I think that our failures can be incredible springboards for ministry.\u00a0 I think about the account of Jesus being resurrected from the dead.\u00a0 When He came back, and He went before those disciples they didn\u2019t know who He was until what \u2013 He held out His hands \u2013 they saw His scars.\u00a0 Once they saw His scars they knew it was Him, and I started praying about that.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLord why did He keep the scars?\u00a0 I mean He raised the dead, He healed the sick, He made the blind to see, He put fresh skin on the leper\u2019s hand, why did He keep the scars?\u00a0 Then it occurred to me \u2013 He kept the scars so that people would know who He was because they were precious to Him.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSee, when we aren\u2019t ashamed of our failures God will use those very failures \u2013 those are scars in our lives you see.\u00a0 People will come to know Christ because we\u2019re not ashamed of our scars.\u00a0 See Satan wants us to think \u2013 oh you don\u2019t want anybody to know you\u2019ve done that \u2013 you can\u2019t tell anybody you\u2019ve done that.\u00a0 You\u2019ve had three abortions.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t let anybody know that \u2013 they\u2019ll kick you out of the church.\u00a0 So, we hide it \u2013 we don\u2019t want anyone to know.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know I think about my own Father \u2013 this mean snake of a man, who drank, beat his wife, and he was a horrible man.\u00a0 But, when I was in my 20\u2019s my Father came to the Lord.\u00a0 You know what happened was God sent him on a five hundred mile trip away from home.\u00a0 He needed someone to pray for him, he found this pastor in the woods and my Father just poured out his heart to him, and just told him everything he had ever done.\u00a0 That man put his arm around my Dad and said, \u201cNow Alan \u2013 let me tell you what I have done.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe began to share that he had done the same things in his life \u2013 the same failures in his life that my Father had committed in his own life and my Father saw Jesus in him.\u00a0 So, when we think of our failures and think God could never use me \u2013 I\u2019ve messed up terribly \u2013 all that is so much a lie of the enemy.\u00a0 Because see when you have a beautiful scar not a wound but something you\u2019ve gone through:\u00a0 A failure that God has then healed in your life He\u2019s redeemed it!\u00a0 Then we turn around and use that for good \u2013 we turn around, and it helps other people.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPeople are a lot more impressed with our failures that God has turned around and used for good than they are with perfection in our life.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know many people who\u2019ve come to Christ because somebody has come up and told them how perfect they were, but they do come to Christ when someone says, \u201cYou know what \u2013 I have messed up terribly, and this is how God has forgiven me, this is how He is redeeming that, and He\u2019s turning it around, and He\u2019s using it for good.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I think a lot of people today are looking for the very authenticity you are talking about.\u00a0 It\u2019s people who are willing to peel back the layers of their lives, and let others look in and see where they have failed.\u00a0 The very issue of three abortions\u2014we\u2019ve told some of those stories here on <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em><em>\u00a0 <\/em>When we tell those stories here the phone calls come in from other people who\u2019ve been locked up, and imprisoned in a self-imposed isolation around their sin.\u00a0 When finally somebody else came clean publicly, and declared it.\u00a0 It gave them the freedom to say, \u201cYou know what \u2013 there really is freedom in coming clean of your shame, and talking about the forgiveness of Christ that He offers.\u201d\u00a0 The great lie of the enemy is:\u00a0 What you\u2019ve done, Christ won\u2019t forgive you for, or He won\u2019t forgive you for that.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean, the cross represents forgiveness but God won\u2019t forgive you for that \u2013 well that\u2019s a lie and that lie is trying to keep individual people locked up in their own sin, and their own shame, and their own guilt, and not experiencing the love of Christ that ultimately came to set them free, and to use their story in other peoples lives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sharon:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Revelations says, \u201cThey overcame him\u201d \u2013 talking about the enemy.\u00a0 They overcame Satan by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony.\u201d\u00a0 Just think about that \u2013 that our own personal stories have so much power that they\u2019re in the same sentence with the blood of the lamb.\u00a0 That is amazing \u2013 so no wonder he wants us to keep it quiet, no wonder he doesn\u2019t want us to know when to feel shame.\u00a0 But Dennis as you\u2019re talking about people saying, \u201cGod can\u2019t forgive me of that.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat I see even more than that is I hear women say, I know God forgives me, but I just can\u2019t forgive myself.\u00a0 I just can\u2019t forgive myself.\u00a0 When they say that, that\u2019s like saying that what Jesus did on the cross is not enough \u2013 that there has to be something more.\u00a0 That is one of the lies that I have to help women work through on just accepting and receiving that forgiveness.\u00a0

us free but we get those keys you see, and we unlock that door \u2013 we go back in there.\u00a0 We lock ourselves up into that prison of shame and that prison of condemnation.\u00a0 Jesus is standing

remember?\u00a0 That really confused me, and then I went back through scripture, and I looked every time when it says, \u201cGod does remember.\u00a0 He remembered Noah, he remembered Sarah, it means He was about to do something.\u201d\u00a0 He was about to act so when it says, \u201cThat God doesn\u2019t remember or God forgets our sins that means He\u2019s not going to act on them
