Do you feel stuck in patterns you can’t explain—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally? Often, the issue isn’t a lack of effort or faith. Core beliefs formed early in life silently influence how we see ourselves, others, and God.
In this episode of Thrive by The Rising Muse, we explore how core beliefs develop. We investigate how they affect your adult life. You can begin rewriting them using biblical truth and practical tools.
What Are Core Beliefs?
Core beliefs are deeply rooted thoughts formed in childhood through experiences, relationships, and emotional moments. Because children interpret life emotionally rather than logically, painful experiences can lead to beliefs like:
- “I’m not enough.”
- “I must earn love.”
- “I will always be abandoned.”
These beliefs don’t disappear with age—they show up as self-sabotage, fear of intimacy, overperformance, or spiritual insecurity.
Signs Your Core Beliefs May Be Holding You Back
You may be operating from limiting core beliefs if you:
- Repeat the same relationship patterns
- Feel unworthy despite success or affirmation
- Overreact to rejection or criticism
- Struggle to believe God’s love applies to you personally
Rewriting Core Beliefs with God’s Truth
Every false belief is rooted in a lie—and Scripture provides the truth to replace it.
- Lie: “I am unlovable.”
Truth: Nothing can separate you from God’s love (Romans 8:38–39). - Lie: “I’m not enough.”
Truth: You are God’s workmanship, created with purpose (Ephesians 2:10).
Practical steps:
- Identify the lie
- Trace it to its origin
- Challenge it with Scripture
- Replace it with truth
- Repeat daily
Renewing your mind is both a spiritual and psychological process—and consistency leads to transformation.
You don’t have to stay stuck in old stories. God’s truth has the power to heal wounds, restore identity, and create lasting freedom.
