3 Steps to Apply God's Word to Your Insecure Thoughts with Susie Mendoza

3 Steps to Apply God's Word to Your Insecure Thoughts with Susie Mendoza

Author: Kim Dolan Leto | Bestselling Author, Christian Speaker & Podcast Host September 15, 2026 Duration: 41:56

Have you ever looked in the mirror and before you even realize it, you're picking yourself apart? If we know what God says, why do we keep having thoughts that lie to us? What if we could learn to hit pause, zoom out, and spot the lie underneath the thought before we let it take control?

In this episode of the Go to God First podcast with Kim Dolan Leto, I'm talking with Susie Mendoza about how to recognize negative thoughts, uncover the lie underneath them, and agree with God's truth instead.

Susie shares a simple three-step practice.

In This Episode

  • How to recognize the lie hiding underneath a negative thought
  • Susie's three simple steps.
  • How to use a Mirror Moment to catch insecurity and replace the lie with your identity in Christ
  • Why agreeing with God's truth is different from positive thinking, affirmations, and manifestation
  • How to turn routines you're already doing into opportunities to apply God's Word
