Last Sunday, we discussed what Naomi can teach us about:
- Fear of failure
- How to overcome it
In that devotional, I particularly focused on Ruth 1:20-21 which says:
But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi [meaning "pleasant"] call me Mara [meaning "bitter"] for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the Lord has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”
On inspecting that scripture further, I realised that it didn't just:
- Speak of Naomi's mindset
- Give insight about the fear of failure and how it works, as I said last week
But it also gives us some insight into imposter syndrome- all of which I shared on my Facebook page this week via the (live) video below.
Here's a little bit of what you can expect in terms of:
TOPICS DISCUSSED
- What imposter syndrome is and why it seems to affect women more than men
- How imposter syndrome causes us to act like Naomi in "changing our names"
- 3 practical; actionable tips for overcoming imposter syndrome today
- And much more!

And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
