- Hi beautiful people :)
This topic is SO important to me. I learned different 'tricks' and 'quick fixes' for confidence over the years, but I've found those are just like putting band-aids over a wound. It helps for a bit (a temporary solution), but what you really need is to dig deep into that wound to clean it out so the actual root of the problem is fixed. The reason I titled the video how to "build" confidence is because of what I talk about in the video: The way you can build confidence is through BUILDING your foundation on God, and from there confidence comes naturally. I talk about this in the video haha just watch it & it will make more sense :)
Verses I paraphrase/mention in this video but don't say directly:
God wants you to love Him more than anything/anyone else: Deuteronomy 6:5
God created you: Genesis 1:27
God knitted you together in your mother's womb: Psalm 139:13
You are God's masterpiece: Ephesians 2:10
You are fearfully & wonderfully made: Psalm 139:14
God delights in you: Zephaniah 3:17
You are valuable: John 10:11 (Read all of this parable - God, the good Shepherd, lays down His life for YOU - His sheep - because He sees YOU as valuable!) :)
God loves you: John 3:16, 1 John 4:19
God died for you: 1 Peter 2:24
Jesus resurrected, so you will resurrect too: John 11:25
God is your firm foundation: Isaiah 28:16, 2 Timothy 2:19, Acts 4:11
No matter what storm comes, your foundation is secure in Him: Matthew 7:24-27 (SO GOOD!!!)
God wants you to be salt & light to the world: Matthew 5:13-16
God works good out of all bad situations: Romans 8:28
God is faithful: Lamentations 3:22-23
You are not alone; God is with you: Matthew 28:20, Acts 17:27, Isaiah 41:10
Song in the outro:
You Make Me Brave by Bethel
I make all of my videos for Jesus. I don't know where I would be without Him.

While he was still far away, his Father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, threw his arms around him...[and said,] "let’s eat and celebrate! Because my son...was lost and has been FOUND." Luke 15:20,23 ISV
YOU ARE LOVED BEYOND MEASURE!!!

Love it !!!!
Jesus loves you John 3:25, Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 28:11
I never thought I would love God more than anyone else. I found it hard to comprehend how I could love him more than my family. Then everything changed and I realized I love him most. It's amazing how he changed me.
Hi there :D I was wondering if you would mind checking out my channel? I just uploaded my first video - my testimony :)) I'd really appreciate it! :)Thanks :) xx
Will do. I can't wait to see it.
Hayleighana Thank you so much! x
Hayleighana God bless you!
Hey, I'm just curious as to how you love God at all (let alone more than anyone else) when you can't see Him? I'm a Christian so I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, but I've been struggling with this for basically all my life.
I caught myself nodding along with you, and realised that you are the only youtuber who actually makes me forget it's a video and feel like I'm literally in a conversation with you!
Sincerely Rhiannon that is actually the sweetest thing ever!!!!! Thank you so so much!!!❤❤❤❤
I feel that as well!
Right! I am aware I have a short attention span but with her I’ll watch the entire video and feel like she’s talking directly to me.
Jesus loves you John 3:26, Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 29:11
It's so sad that at nearly 50 I still suffer from insecurity and worth issues even though I know all these verses and truly believe in the Christian message for myself. I think it has to do with my experiences as a child and with some physical deficiencies. I appreciate this video, and I realize that whatever confidence I do have comes from God alone.
Jesus loves you 🤍
Your accent honestly is the cutest thing, just saying! xx LOVED this Becca, so encouraging!!
Katie Gregoire Hahaha I have an accent?!🙈You're the best though thanks girl!
FarAwayDistance Where you from? Sounds like a local accent people have around where I live.
I don’t trust “ beautiful people “ who talks smooth and all the time nicely . I’d like to hear from a while when this smooth voice will be cursing and saying profane language , that’s will be fair and square both sides of the coin.
Lewis Anthony why?
jeremy brent I know your comment is 2 months old but GOD knows you better than you know yourself he will know what kind of sign that you won’t miss and if your not good with subtle signs you will get like a strong shove in the direction he wants you to go personally I was recently on vacation for 2 weeks straight started to get drawn to end times and I asked him to help me with a specific sin that I just couldn’t stop doing and after that I didn’t get the desire. Also whenever I get depressed he draws me to a song or a movies that he knows will make me feel better. Also mind you I was angry at GOD in March we had to put our dog Bella to sleep I even said I was done with him even after all that he still loves me and helps me when I need it. Also yes I always capitalize GOD because he deserves it. So remember he will always be with you and love you God bless you amen.
Aww that was so uplifting! 😊 I love seeing the joy you have on your face when you talk about Jesus! It's so beautiful 😊
Aww you are so sweet, thank youuuu!
I really needed to hear this today I have never struggled with confidence I have always loved myself and every part of myself....I have always loved God and trusted I. Word for my life...in September I was diagnosed with stage 3 aggressive breast cancer and my whole world shook. I lost my hair I lost over 40 pounds my husband started cheating on me and I lost every once of confidence in myself. I have always told my children to build everything in their life on the foundation of Jesus Christ but yet my foundation when put thru the fire fell apart today I am going to rebuild my foundation on Gods word and what he says about me. I will build it on the blood of Jesus and his truth over my life. Thank you sooooo very much May God bless you for revealing truth to me on this day be blessed my sister in Christ❤️
Your video moved me to tears. I too often believe that I have so much path to walk to get to the point where I'll feel better about myself. Your video reminded me that there are shortcuts to this path through Jesus. Thank you 🙏
You are absolutely beautiful!!! I can see Gods light in you 10000% it's awesome to find another Christian youtuber! :)
Thank you for this video. My friend told me about your channel btw. I wanted to share something: she heard me talk about God at school and invited me to join her Bible study she just started. I happily joined and got really excited. Several weeks later, we became really close and we are the only friends in our lives to talk openly about faith. We are just as passionate when it comes to our love for God. It was perfect timing because the previous week, I was trying not to be depressed that I was rejected once again from friends. I have isolated myself because of how uncomfortable it is to even be around them. It doesn't hurt me based on what they think about me, it hurts me based on the fact that they don't know what truly saved life is like. They don't have the Lord and they go through tough times just like anyone else. I've talked to them about faith before but they didn't seem to care and that just breaks my heart. My friend and I are going to start something really great at our school. We use a teacher's classroom for our Bible studies because he is supportive and is also a Christian. If you don't mind, Will you pray for our wisdom, people's hearts, and that God will bring this to life and help us? Thanks so much. Hope you have a great day! :)
I hope i am not late
You and your friend are in my prayers🧡
Definitely talk more about this topic and also how to find out your purpose, what God wants us to do❤️
This is such a needed message for so many, and you did this beautifully! I love the analogy of how we often just put a band aid (or we'd call it a plaster in England 😂) over our issues instead of letting God heal our hearts! Thanks for this, girl! - Est X
Aww haha you call band-aids plasters? That is so funny haha I love little English words. :) But thank you so much beautiful! x
Band Aid sounds weird to us though :) Makes me think of pretentious 80s musicians with headphones.
Mat & Est - ChristianVloggers it's called plaster in Norway too!
guestinformer Hahahah that's hilarious to me!!!
Hi there :D I was wondering if you would mind checking out my channel? I just uploaded my first video - my testimony :)) I'd really appreciate it! :)Thanks :) xx
Your videos always give me so much encouragement in my faith ❤ thank you!

i really needed this, thank you
God has given you an amazing voice and feeling that go hand in hand in all your expressions...
after finding your channel, you really inspired me to strengthen my relationship with God, thank you so much :) xx
That makes me so happy :)
Thank you so much! because I am struggling with loving myself and knowing that I am beautiful.
I am aso struggling with what God only say about me and need to stay with his words not others. Thank you so much for this video.
God Bless and have a blessed day!
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
I needed this video. God helped me because I watched this video. Thanks my friend.
Girrrlll, God is using you!!!❤️ needed this!!!
Thank You so much Becca💗:) Needed this tonight!
Exactly what I needed to hear. You're so encouraging 💕👌 God bless!
Becca, your videos are always so encouraging, thank you so much!! You are such a beautiful human.
You are so so so incredibly inspiring! Extremely glad I found your channel.
Believing what God says about us is something that it is easy to lose focus on. Thanks for the great reminders!!
Thank you tons for the wonderful, encouraging words. Much needed!
So good! Thanks for sharing this - it is a powerful, life-giving message.
What amazing timing. This is exactly what I needed. God is amazing. ❤️
You are such a beautiful soul. Gods light shines bright in you, thanks for the video!
I was SO blessed by this video. thank you for this encouragement.
Such good truth. I needed this message. Thank you for doing these videos. Such a blessing. I can see God through you.
Yes Becca, you're an amazing sister! You are so on point in everyhing you said. Love you!
Wooow. Just right spot on! Just when I was praying to God to help me with confidence.
God bless you Becca!!
Constantly in awe of how clearly God's light shines through you ❤️ You've got such a gift for conveying messages in an impactful and easily comprehensible way, I especially love that you've taken the time to list out specific verses in the description with links to corresponding times in the video - so helpful!
I'm not sure if you've already covered this in another video, but I'd love to get some ideas on how to do quiet times, like how to choose which book to read next, your process when reading the bible (I sometimes struggle to find the relevance of certain passages to my own life) and maybe bible study devotionals you could recommend? Basically anything related to keeping the momentum and motivation for personal bible study sessions :)
Thank you SO much!!!! :) You're soo sweet! I'll definitely have to think about making a video like that! Although I wonder the same things you do haha I definitely don't have all of the answers yet to some of those questions myself!
I'm crying. Thank you
I'm a 25 year old dude, very capable but have struggled with confidence my whole life. I'm not too proud to admit that I need/needed help with this and I'm glad I found this video. If we are to claim to be Christian, we are to believe the theology in the Bible. That includes knowing that we are loved and strong through Christ whether we feel it in the moment or not. It's the same as turning away from lust when we are tempted. Our minds go there so often but we are to believe in God's word and turn from temptation. There isn't a magical moment in this life when we can claim "I am finally 100% confident". Perfection won't come until Christ returns. But we can keep our minds on him and continually turn from the lies our minds create. There's no need to overthink because we KNOW we are loved. Thank you for allowing God to work through you. PRAISE JESUS!!
You are so mature in your faith and I can sense that God has amazing plans for you! It’s really great watching your videos.
Such a good video!! God really spoke to me through you! Thank you for being obedient to the LORD❤️
2 minutes in and i’m loving you already. You’re such a beautiful creation of God, may our Father keep blessing you.
you're so pretty and YES you're so confident!!!!! ilyour videos so much ahhhh
We thank Yah for you and the Holy Spirit working in you! You are a blessing to our family!
Every time I watch one of your videos I feel so motivated and encouraged to read my bible. It is so clear how much effort you put in to these videos and they are always beautifully said. Thanks for sharing
amen sister. i love the message. you're certainly doing work for God, and thank you for spreading The Word, i love your videos. God bless.
this was the message i needed to hear more than anything right now thank you so much for the messages you share.
Thank you for this beautiful video! You’re such a spiritual youth, to God be the Glory! May God continue to use you for his Glory and Honor!!🥰
It's really amazing how this video and the last one came at such a perfect time💕 I thank god for using you to talk to me and thank you for making this video😊I really needed it! Keep up the great work Becca, you're so inspiring😊💕
Wow, really good things to think about! I've struggled with anxiety my whole life and I've only gained a little more confidence since since I've gotten right with God in the past few years. So thank you. I'm gonna give this a lot of thought. Blessings.
I really needed to hear this. Thank you for making this video :)
Hi, I just wanted to say that you encouraged me so much by just reminding me of these truths and I truly felt like you were really speaking to me personally, and usually with youtube I don't get this personal feeling! Thank you so much and I encourage you to continue doing God's work because it's truly awesome and you don't know just how many people all over the world you impact this way!
I really needed to watch this video, since I struggle with confidence sometimes quiet a bit... thanks for your encouraging video! :) I LOVE all your videos!!! You are so confident (yes! :).), honest, Christ-centered and down-to-earth. God bless you!!!!
You bring a smile to my face, thank you. :)
What the heck you’re such a blessing to my life! God lead me to your channel.
I’m praying for you and your journey! I pray the peace of God falls upon you now and that you stand firm against any of the lies the enemy tries to put in your head! (I know you’re already strong but we all need prayer ❤️) Can’t wait for more videos!
Thank you and God bless you. I'm 28 and still struggling with confidence issues and fear. I've just started my journey a year now as a Christian and I have been looking for a video or something to help me build my confidence in myself through Christ. I've tried almost anything and I am so grateful that I come across your videos. Been looking for something more explanatory and the Lord has to lead me to you and wow I'm in awe. I literally love all your video and I haven't watched them all lol.Everything that I am struggling with in my life right now you have a video for it. That's not luck that's God. I have faith that the Lord has sent me here to learn from you. Keep doing the lords work you are truly blessed and blessing in my life. Thank you girl.
I am so glad you included that example of allowing what others say dictate how we see ourselves. I didn't think I did that but I have, because when those people did leave my life I felt empty and unwanted and a bunch of other unpleasant emotions. Wow! So true. I needed to here that. I never heard it explained that way. It all makes sense. Very helpful!
This was so encouraging!! 🤗 A new perspective for me about confidence☺️ Thank you so much!
Am starting my senior year and i really needed this thank you...May God bless you!
Amen🙏🏽🙏🏽 this is a blessing !
Thanks girl because honestly confidence I believe it's a process, like for me it can be a struggle but I have to remember that my confidence doesn't come from the world perspective but the word of God.
This has made my mind n heart lighten up, so thankful.
Wow, I am amazed at the knowledge that God has given you. I actually have in my journal a page, titled "What does God say about me?" and I have ben trying to flill in the list. Now with your input, I can add those to my list. I truly appreciate you sharing this knowledge!
While u are talking I am so moved feeling emotional... thankyou fornsharing your perspective and faith Sister.. u inspire me to focus on God more
You are a truly beautiful person Becca! God bless you!
I really needed this, God bless you🙏🏾
Thank you for this!! 💕
Thank you so much for this! I had hard time with self confidence :)
Dear Becaa.. Thanks a lot for making this video.. I had the same struggles.. but once I started to believe what God says about me.. I felt more confident😊
Amen love this thank you for posting!
I’ve been watching your videos the past few days.. I recently was accepted into a school for ministry and I am constantly seeking advice on how I should approach this new journey... I have been so inspired by your videos. I’ve read so many books written by Christian authors and you should truly consider writing. I’m so grateful I stumbled upon your videos! It was perfect timing 🙌🏻💗
This is so great! Thank you so much! You are such an amazing woman😍 and I'm so happy that one day I will get to know you💖
I love how much you anticipate in talking about our Lord's word. God's light is definitely seen in you.
I love this so much!!
So awesome! Guys struggle with worrying about what girls think and say. Making them an idol is something we have to guard against too to find confidence in God. This is so amazing, I especially love the part about wrestling with your faith and making it your own at the beginning :)
For some reason I watched this video again... lol. Something stood out to me, when you were talking about how we build our foundations on what others think. I know you used the opposite sex example. Lately, I’ve been so consumed on what others think. My coworkers mainly, and I cannot believe I have been setting my foundation on that. Making them happy, and overworking, and just going home feeling unappreciated and just bitter. How can I put my worth and value on what someone thinks, or feels about me. I’ll never feel like I’m enough. This video really spoke to me today. Thank you God. Also, there’s a beautiful confidence in Christ centered people. It radiates and it’s beautiful. That’s one of the reasons why I am pursuing God, the beauty and happiness that are in His people!
I rarely comment videos, but I had to today. Your message made me realize the reason why I was feeling insecure about everything : it was because my faith in God was not solid enough. Starting now, I am going to study a part of the bible everyday and make sure to really understand and try to memorize God's words. Now I've realized that if I believe in God, I have to completly trust His words and that is only when I have a complete faith in Him that I will be able to overcome my insecurities.
I can't thank you enough for making me realize this !! Hope you have a wonrderful day and God bless you :)
I discovered your channel yesterday and now I’m obsessed!! Definitely subscribed😄
Thank You. HE HAS RISEN
So glad you shared this! Although I am a little bit older than you (27), this is honestly something I still struggle with so much, especially in this current season of my life. I have been allowing other people and circumstances dictate how I see myself rather than what God says about me. In spite of being strong in my Christian faith, I have found it challenging to look at what God says about me and to then intentionally remind myself of it again and again. I desperately needed this reminder. I have been getting seriously depressed because I have been letting myself believe the negative thoughts in my own head and the negative opinions of a co-worker.
Gurl thx so much for this video much love and hugs this helps a lot cause of finals time
Amen, God bless you sis xx🙏🏾❤️
Wow!!! Yes!! Yesterday I was told that make up and nail polish are the things that should make me confident and I responded "no that is now what makes me feel confident" and it's so funny I had that happen and you posted the video
I had been thinking about the subject of confidence lately and of course you produce a video on it led by the Spirit of God!
Blessings
So happy to hear that! :)
This has blessed so much.
Major keys, thanks for this!
Amen, sister Becca! Fantastic video presenting the truth in clear-to-understand terms! Thank you.
What God says trumps what the world says. I had to think of this passage:
_...If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is folly with God..."_ (1 Cor 3:18-19)
Blessings to you!
Thank you so much for that Video, i watched a Lot of Videos about confident's But i feel like that your's is the only one that really helped me. Great video, god Bless you
Thank you. I needed this today ❤️
Honestly you are so inspiring. I relate to you in many things, and I am really happy to know your channel.
Thank you for let God use you.
I am from Brazil so you fans from this side of the world too.
Jéssina Lopes Brasil em Todo canto haha 😍
this is an excellent video! well though through logical points which also speak to the heart. You are very intelligent and glowing with love for Jesus :)
10:38 LOL. "People are not gonna like I said that." LOL
Preach it from the rooftops girl!!!
Bravo!
Hi Becca, I am so blessed by the wisdom God has spoken through you! The best way to learn to trust in God is to trust in God - to give it a shot. Because 101% of the time, I am never disappointed! Praise God!!!!
What a beautiful message
May our father bless you
youre so empowering and uplifting. God Bless you.
super encouraging!! thank you so much!
This was my favorite video in the world thank you so much for your beautiful heart
Thanks so much! That encouraged me! :)
I was just having a conversation with my father(I mean my terrenal father) about my low self esteem, and why i never look good on photos and stuff like that and he told me that everyone is different and beautiful in their own way, and then this video came up and im sharing tears because is like God is talking to me through your blog. God bless you ♥
This video was super awesome. I LOVE how you share your opinions straight out but don't share your opinions straight out like they're facts that everyone must believe right away. So many people are passionate too but don't portray their ideas with the right light. You speak clearly and boldly and are super welcoming as well. I love that. I'm super excited for your videos this summer! Since you're out of school you're probably gonna upload more frequently (no pressure) and I'm really happy about that. You just have such a great TH-cam channel, Becca. I'm almost done for the summer. About a month of testing left and then high school for me! I'm so grateful I get to have such an amazing inspiration to help me make meaningful decisions as a high schooler and not be as lost in confidence as you might've been. You're helping SO many people. ❤️❤️❤️
Arielle Datnoff Aww seriously Arielle that means soooooooooo much to me you don't even know. I am so happy that I come across that way because my goal is to be gentle but bold so I'm glad you're seeing that. Thank you so much for telling me that. And I can't even believe you're almost in high school! The wisdom you have already makes me forget you're not a junior in high school right now haha no joke. Like I know you're in MS but you're seriously so wise. Soo much love for you & im excited you're almost done. :) And yessss I'll be trying to upload weekly - I know I'll be able to this month, but June and July will be CRAZY with work so we'll see what happens! Hopefully I can stick to it!!
I love your videos they are so encouraging!
Becca,
I could not be more thankful that God uses you as a platform to glorify him! You are such an amazing role model for me and lots of other young women like myself! Even though you are older than me, your struggles are so relatable and you solidify exactly what I know God is telling me to do. Sometimes I feel unsure about what God is telling me to do and I feel like I'm not confident or good enough to carry out the plans he has for me. I know that he wants me to love myself the way he does, but I constantly struggle to live completely feeling the way he does about me. I am constantly comparing myself and my gifts to those he gave others. I just can't seem to feel valuable even though I know I am in his eyes. Do you have any advice and did you feel this way in high school also?
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. God bless you
this video was sooo good!!! Just what I needed to hear :)
