Nerves? Self doubt? Negative self talk? Fear of failure? As a musician, it is very likely that these feelings are common for you. In today’s episode, we are taking away key points from the book, “The Inner Game of Music” which helps with these types of issues. Although, I thought it would be interesting for me to come along behind these two intelligent authors and infuse their ideas with the Biblical Truth that they never knew was already there.

- Does God expect perfection from us? How does giving yourself permission to fail change the way you play? Why do we not give ourselves permission to fail?
- Do you fear failure more than you fear God? How? What Truths about God help you not fear failure?
- Trusting self vs. trusting God - which is easier for you?
