The Nature of Life and Change

Life is filled with swift transitions, often catching us off guard.
Emphasizing the importance of purpose even during times of change.

Embracing Your Purpose Amidst Change

Developing Character: Purpose work first changes and develops you. God uses these transitions to build character and prepare you for future challenges.
Realigning Desires: Your desires and needs align more with God’s will as you grow in your purpose, leading to a more fulfilling life.
Finding Meaning: Walking in your purpose gives your life meaning, helping you feel connected, fulfilled, and motivated.
Connecting the Dots: Over time, the seemingly random events and experiences in your life will start to make sense as they connect to your purpose.

Staying on the Right Path

Cling tightly to your purpose to stay on the right path, even when the journey is messy and unpredictable.
Be prepared for detours and extended timelines; persistence and faith are key.

Understanding the Messiness of Purpose Work

Purpose work can be messy and is often not what we expect. It requires resilience and determination.
Embrace the challenges and frustrations, knowing they are part of the journey.

The Unfolding Nature of Purpose

Your purpose and God’s plan for your life will unfold over time. Flexibility and trust are essential.
Be willing to adjust and flow with changes, holding your plans loosely while clinging to the overarching vision.

Encouragement and Closing

Reassurance that listeners will make it through their current season of change.
Reminder to stay close to God, trust in His plan, and keep moving forward one step at a time.
Encouraging words to hold on to purpose and remain determined, despite the messiness and unpredictability.


XOXO,

Shayla

Description: In today’s episode of the Called and Confident Podcast, Shayla Hilton dives into the challenges many women face when trying to understand and embrace their calling. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, uncertain, or unsure about what God has called you to do, you’re not alone. Join Shayla as she discusses five key truths about the calling on your life and shares practical steps to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

Key Topics Discussed

The Overwhelming Nature of Callings:

Feeling overwhelmed and nervous about your calling is common.
Many women struggle with understanding what God wants them to do and how to achieve it.

Five Truths About Your Calling:

Specificity: Your calling is very specific and unique to you. God has a deliberate plan for your life.
Productivity: God seeks productive individuals who are already working diligently. Your current work ethic is crucial.
Visionary Mindset: You must be a visionary, able to see the big picture even without all the details.
Obedience: Quick and complete obedience to God’s direction is essential.
Community: God will place you in a supportive community to help accomplish your calling.

Biblical Reference:

Shayla explores Mark 1:16-20 (NIV) to highlight how Jesus called his disciples and the principles we can learn from their immediate obedience and productivity.

Practical Application:

Encouragement to maintain excellence in current work as preparation for future calling.
Emphasis on the importance of being visionary and trusting God’s plan without needing all the steps outlined.

Invitation to Deeper Engagement:

Shayla invites listeners to join a transformative journey through the book of Nehemiah to explore God’s calling and purpose further.
Actionable Steps

Reflect on Your Specific Calling:

Spend time in prayer and meditation, asking God to reveal the specific work He has for you.

Maintain Productivity:

Continue to work diligently in your current roles, developing a habit of excellence.

Embrace a Visionary Mindset:

Look beyond your current situation and trust that God has a bigger picture for your life.

Practice Quick Obedience:

When you sense God’s direction, act on it promptly without hesitation.

Seek Community:

Engage with a supportive community that shares your faith and vision to encourage and uplift each other.
Final Encouragement

Shayla reminds listeners that feeling overwhelmed by a big calling is natural. It’s a high calling from God, and it requires faith, vision, productivity, and quick obedience. Trust that God has a specific plan for you and that He will bring it to completion. Keep pressing forward in faith, and remember, you are not alone on this journey.

Scriptural Reference: Philippians 4:13 (KJV) - ”I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
