    234: How Entitlement Keeps You From Your Calling

    In this solo episode, I talk about one of the biggest roadblocks I see all the time when I hear people finding their calling: entitlement. Entitlement shows up when we expect God’s plan to always match ours – easy, comfortable, and always successful. While this can happen because we have an all-loving God, God can sometimes also use humility, waiting, and even hard seasons to shape our hearts and prepare us for the work He’s calling us to do. I talk about: How entitlement can block us from hearing God clearly Why humility and surrender are key to discovering your calling The wrong assumptions we often make about a “godly” career Encouragement from Scripture on trusting God’s way If you’ve been waiting for everything to feel easy before stepping into your purpose, I hope this episode helps you see that God is with you – both in times of blessing and in times of challenge.

    233: How God Works in the Waiting: Lessons from Jonah, Esther & Job

    If you feel stuck and you're waiting for God to move but nothing ever seems to be happening... I promise you, God is always at work! In this episode, we dive into the stories of Jonah, Esther, Job, the Israelites, and Hannah to show you that waiting seasons are never wasted seasons. Each of these Biblical characters faced moments of fear, uncertainty, and delay — yet God was moving behind the scenes the entire time. Jonah reminds us that even when we run from God’s plans, He can redirect our path. Esther teaches us to trust God’s timing when courage is needed most. Job shows us how to hold onto faith when everything feels lost. The Israelites reveal God’s faithfulness even in the wilderness. Hannah gives us hope that heartfelt prayers never go unheard. Whether you’re facing a career change, praying for breakthrough, or simply waiting for clarity, this conversation will give you Biblical wisdom and encouragement to trust God’s plan, even when you can’t see what He’s doing.

    232: Let Us Pray for You

    In this episode, we’re slowing down together for something different – prayer. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, spiritually dry, or unsure of your next step, this is for you. Audrey and I open up honestly about our own struggles with prayer and then take time to pray over you – your heart, your calling, and your season of life. Whether you’re overflowing with faith or barely holding on, our hope is that this prayer reminds you of God’s love, His presence, and His faithfulness. Take a deep breath, listen in, and let these words wash over you. You are not alone.

    230: Energy Leaks, Boundaries, and Breakthroughs: We’re Letting Go So God Can Provide

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing something really personal – because I know I’m not the only one walking through a dry, discouraging, anxiety-filled season. This conversation is all about energy leaks – the emotional, spiritual, and practical “drains” that are quietly exhausting you behind the scenes. I’ll be real: this has been one of the hardest seasons of obedience I’ve ever walked through. Between layoffs, business disappointments, and some deep pruning in my life and heart, God has gently shown me what I was clinging to that He never asked me to carry. I thought I had to hold it all together. Turns out, I just needed to let go. If you’ve been praying for clarity, rest, or breakthrough – this one’s for you. We talk about boundaries, burnout, and what it means to partner with God in the release before the receive. Here’s what you’ll hear: What energy leaks are (and why they might be what’s really burning you out) Why obedience can sometimes feel like failure first How letting go of “good things” made room for God things What to do when you're stuck between fear, shame, and exhaustion What the Bible says about boundaries, provision, and rest This one is for the Christians who keep on striving. The one who keeps wondering why things aren’t working, no matter how hard they try. The one who’s been faithful, and just needs a reminder that God sees them and He’s still providing.
