Spiritual Training for Christian Women l Knowing God l Bible Study l Purpose l Calling l Overcoming Overwhelm l Fear

In this episode we explore the common fear that there’s a “specific thing out there” you’re supposed to do before your life really begins and the lie that your worth, value, and acceptance depend on achieving that special calling or doing it “well enough.” We gently redirect our focus to the biblical truth that: Our identity is already given to us in Christ We were created first and foremost to worship God and bear His image Good works are meant to flow out of our secure identity in Jesus—not earn it We testify to God’s mercy, faithfulness, and intricate good works prepared in advance for us to walk in. She invites you to: Identify the lies and fears shaping your choices Repent of striving for identity through performance Receive, rest in, and live from your true identity as a beloved, adopted child of God   Resources:  FREE How to Study the Bible Guide   Bible Verses to Study: Genesis 1:27 Isaiah 43:7 Ephesians 2:8-9 2 Corinthians 5:21 Isaiah 61:10 Psalm 23 Ephesians 1:4-6 Ephesians 2:10 Connect: Email [email protected] for coaching or questions!

In this episode we explore one of the hardest heart issues for many leaders: the desire to control. Speaking especially to women in discipleship, small groups, and mentoring roles, we unpack the fears that often sit beneath our need to “hold on tight” to people and outcomes. We identify three core fears: “If it isn’t done my way, it won’t be right.” “If it isn’t done right, there will be consequences.” “If this person doesn’t change, I have failed.” From there, we contrast these fears with the freeing truth of Scripture: God’s will is good, pleasing, and perfect, His purposes cannot be thwarted, and it is His job—not ours—to change hearts. We challenge listeners to examine whether their drive for “doing it right” is really about performance and control, or about honoring a holy God. This episode will encourage you to: Recognize pride and fear hiding beneath control. Make space for the Holy Spirit to work in others’ lives. Shift from managing outcomes to faithful obedience and surrender. Rest in the reality that God is always good, always in control, and fully capable. If you’ve ever felt responsible for someone else’s spiritual progress—or frustrated when they don’t change the way you hoped—this conversation will invite you into deeper trust, humility, and freedom as a spiritual leader.   Resources:  FREE How to Study the Bible Guide   Bible Verses to Study: Romans 8:28 Proverbs 14:12 Proverbs 19:21 Hebrews 12:6-7,11 Philippians 2:13 2 Corinthians 3:18 Connect: Email [email protected] for coaching or questions!
