Truly a Masterpiece Podcast
by Craig Walker
Wake Up to Who God Created You to Be | Episode #073
About this podcast
The Truly a Masterpiece podcast is for Christian men—and men open to faith—who know they have more to offer but are held back by self-doubt.
My name is Craig, and I'm your host. In 2014, I won my battle with self-doubt. I didn’t become a different person. I learned that I could trust God’s design for me and that, by His grace, through faith, I can do everything He created me to do. Looking back, I wish I’d challenged my doubts sooner.
In each episode, I'll share what I've learned to help you move from believing in God to believing what God says about you, so you can become the husband, father, and leader that God created you to be.
Along the way, I'll introduce you to others who have won their battle. They'll share how self-doubt held them back—and how they found freedom.
The Truly a Masterpiece podcast is based on the Scripture that teaches, "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago" (Ephesians 2:10, NLT).
