Find freedom from jealousy and insecurity as you rest in your true worth and identity in God. Complete with reflection questions, journaling space, and accompanying teaching videos, She’s Not Your Enemy helps you move beyond habits of self-protection and create a culture of community.
Sometimes the women in our lives feel like The colleague who threatens your position at work. The friend who talks behind your back. The woman who seems to have it all together—while you are barely hanging on.
But the real enemy is the one who is trying to defeat you with lies that lead to isolation, insecurity, and division. She’s Not Your Enemy equips us to battle Satan’s deception through the solid truth of God’s Word. Popular blogger and podcast host Jenn Schultz comes alongside us to How we find true joy when we recognize our unique roles in God’s kingdom What we lose when we see other women as competition What to do about envy, jealousy, people-pleasing, and perfectionism Why we will never be “enough” on our own—and why that’s great news How our view of God affects our view of ourselves and others When we find our worth and identity in God, we can cultivate empathy and compassion for those we have labeled as the enemy—including the woman in the mirror—and live with greater joy.
There’s nothing new under the sun with comparison and realizing who the enemy is - but this book was such a sweet reminder and challenge of my identity being in Jesus. The biggest takeaway for me: believing the lie of a scarcity mindset, that Jesus can’t have enough good for me because others have those things.
She’s Not Your Enemy by Jenn Schultz is a powerful reminder that our enemy is never our sister, friend, or even the reflection in the mirror. The true enemy is the devil. Layer by layer, this book challenges us to love others, embrace ourselves, and walk confidently in the identity God has given us, always remembering who the real battle is against.
This book is an excellent read for every woman because I believe we all struggle with competing in some shape, form, or fashion. We all battle with being puffed up or deflated at some stage of our lives. This book is sobering and timely.
