    You Are More Than Your Marital Status: The Call the Rejection the Courage to Say Yes | Dr. Gina Stewart

    "The only confirmation Peter needed to do something he'd never done before was Jesus." - Dr. Gina Stewart What if the only validation you actually need… is from God? In this powerful episode of No Amen Required, Dr. Gina Stewart shares the real story behind her calling - the fear, the resistance, the rejection, the depression, and the quiet pressure to be "less" so she could be more acceptable.   She grew up in a church where women were welcomed… but still wrestled internally with whether she would ever be accepted as a preacher.   She delayed saying yes because she wanted marriage. She battled depression because society told her singleness meant failure. She became the first woman to preach in historic spaces - and watched her sermon get taken down overnight.   And through all of it, one truth carried her:   You don't need everybody's approval to obey your calling. This episode isn't just about women in ministry. It's about anyone who feels the tension between who they are and what the world expects them to be. If you've ever: Felt called but afraid Questioned your worth because of your relationship status Been told you don't belong in a certain room Watched your work get dismissed or minimized   This conversation is for you.   Because the only confirmation Peter needed to step onto the water… was one word: "Come." And that might be all you need too.
