Denial is the action of declaring something to be untrue. As we close out our 3-part series on 'Anxious and Faking It,” we tackle the gatekeeper to our growth forward. Denial can lock us out from working on our hearts. It can deceive and manipulate us to be unaware of our struggles and the broken relationships around us. May we all be encouraged to conquer denial and find our purpose and live it out.

We all struggle with being fakers at some point in our lives. We do this by trying to be someone that we're not.

We also talk about how we can counter-attack these faker-tendencies by caring about others.
