In today's episode of Morning Light with Mike Franklin on My Country 99.3, Pastor Mike digs into a life-changing question: How do you see yourself?

So many people carry around the weight of a broken self-image shaped by past wounds, hurtful words, family dysfunction, rejection, or the voices of people who never saw their value. But God invites you into a completely different way of thinking… one shaped by His truth, His calling, and His grace.

Pastor Mike walks through Romans 12:2, showing how God transforms us from the inside out by renewing our minds. When you begin to see yourself through the lens of God's Word — rather than through the opinions of others or the mistakes of your past — everything changes.

Inside this episode you'll discover:

• Why self-perception determines so much of your life

• How the Holy Spirit reshapes the way you think after salvation

• Why the world's definition of you is flawed — and how God redefines you

• How childhood wounds and past voices shape your identity… and how God breaks that cycle

• What Paul meant when he said, "By the grace of God, I am what I am"

• How to finally stop seeing yourself through your failures and start seeing yourself through God's purpose

Pastor Mike reminds us:
You are gifted.
You are chosen.
You are called for such a time as this.

And when you replace old thought patterns with God's truth, your entire life transforms from the inside out.

A powerful, hope-filled episode for anyone who has ever questioned their worth, struggled with negative self-talk, or wondered if God could truly use them.
