Ep 407 Never Feeling 'Good Enough' ft. Chris Wilson

Send us a text Why do so many of us — even the most accomplished, grateful, and faith-filled — still wrestle with feeling like we’re not enough? In this deeply personal solo episode, Coach Chris Wilson opens up about the quiet struggle of inadequacy — how it’s shaped by childhood wounds, difficult relationships, societal pressure, and spiritual disconnection. He reflects on his own upbringing, including past traumas and a verbally abusive parent, and how those early seeds of doubt can follow us into adulthood. Chris explores the emotional weight of regret, the trap of comparison, and the idols we unknowingly cling to that pull us away from our true identity in Christ. With Scripture as his guide, he reminds listeners that our worth is not defined by the world — it’s found in the love of a perfect God who created us strong by design. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I’m not enough,” this episode is for you. You’re not alone — and you’re more loved than you realize.   Time Stamps 00:43 – Welcome to the Strong By Design podcast! 01:07 – Join host Chris Wilson for today’s special solo episode 03:49 – Learn what"s behind today"s topic 07:21 – The impact of opinions: Strangers or those closest to us 11:21 – Chris gets real about his childhood 17:57 – Understanding the feeling of inadequacy 20:51 – Knowing the emotional weight of regret 23:05 – Prioritizing things over meaning: A wake-up call 27:55 – Powerful Bible verses you’ll want to remember 30:08 – Discover the danger of poor influences in our lives 36:37 – Learn the right response to sin 38:48 – Please share and leave ratings & reviews for the SBD podcast!     Resources: YouVersion Bible App Soul Fuel by Bear Grylls   Connect with Coach Chris: Instagram Facebook Support the show Connect w/ CriticalBench: Youtube Facebook Instagram CriticalBench.com StrongByDesignPodcast.com
