Real Confidence: Agreeing With Truth, Not Your Feelings

In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, Michael McIntyre breaks down what real confidence actually is—and how it has nothing to do with your mood and everything to do with agreeing with God’s truth about who you are. He talks about separating your identity from your performance so you can take risks, receive feedback, and even fail without calling yourself a failure. Michael dives into the power of “micro-bravery” (small daily reps like speaking up once in a meeting, introducing yourself to someone new, or hitting publish on that scary post) as the true way confidence is built over time. He also challenges listeners to drop the performance mask, lead with honest presence, own their limits, and anchor their confidence to God’s calling rather than people’s applause. If you’ve been riding the emotional roller coaster of the stock market, social media likes, or other people’s opinions, this episode will remind you that you were created to show up big, on purpose, right where you are.
