I am a big power of positivity person and have been to Marble Collegiate and heard Peale preach.
But...
Marble Collegiate Church was more of a populist, self-help-oriented church than a strictly Scripture-based one. While part of the Reformed Church in America, Peale emphasized positive thinking and personal success over deep biblical doctrine.
His approach blended faith with motivational psychology, making the church widely popular but raising concerns about its theological depth.

Yes, “believe in yourself” isn’t biblical.

He lived to 95 so he must have been doing something right..... Also comes to mind, “The proof is in the pudding”
