    119. Purposeful Living: Daily Habits to Stay Aligned with God’s Will for Your Life

    Sign Up for a One-on-One Coaching Session: https://calendly.com/shaylahiltonenterprisesllc/strengths-assessment-coaching Key Points Discussed: What Does It Mean to Live Life on Purpose? Living life on purpose means confidently walking in the unique calling God has for your life. Purposeful living looks different for everyone, as we are all called to serve in different spaces and places. It may not always align with societal views of success but is defined by fulfilling God’s specific direction for your life. Challenges to Purposeful Living: Busyness: One of the biggest distractions that can keep us from living a purposeful life. We often get caught up in the hustle and forget to focus on our spiritual practices. Complacency: It’s easy to drift away from God’s will if we aren’t diligent about maintaining our spiritual disciplines. Regular habits like prayer, reading the Word, and worship can prevent complacency. Daily Habits for a Purpose-Driven Life: Establish a morning routine that includes time for prayer, studying the Bible, worship, and gratitude journaling. Stay consistent with these habits to remain spiritually sharp and aligned with God’s direction for your life. Avoid letting the routine become monotonous by varying your activities while still maintaining core spiritual practices. The Importance of Community and Accountability: Being in a supportive community of like-minded individuals is crucial for staying focused and aligned with God’s purpose. Accountability partners can help you stay on track with your spiritual and personal goals. They provide support, encouragement, and challenge you to grow. Join a community that understands your journey and can offer guidance, such as our free Facebook group, the ”Called and Confident Community.” Next Steps to Deepen Your Purposeful Living: If you’re looking for more personalized support, consider a one-on-one coaching session. This can help you clarify your calling, identify your gifts, and set actionable goals to move forward. Coaching sessions provide a space for reflection, guidance, and encouragement as you navigate your spiritual journey. Action Items: Join the Called and Confident Community to find support, encouragement, and accountability. Schedule a one-on-one coaching session for more personalized guidance in your spiritual journey. Reflect on your daily habits and consider making adjustments to stay aligned with God’s will.

    118. Navigating Life’s Challenges: Aligning Your Career with Your Spiritual Calling

    Sign Up for a One-on-One Coaching Session: https://calendly.com/shaylahiltonenterprisesllc/strengths-assessment-coaching Key Takeaways: Understanding Your Calling: Many of us feel a strong spiritual calling but may not know what it is or how it aligns with our current job. It’s okay to feel this way. The important part is acknowledging that God has a purpose for you beyond your nine-to-five. Navigating Bi-Vocational Life: It’s common to juggle multiple roles—working a regular job while also pursuing ministry or other callings. The key is learning how to balance these responsibilities effectively. Finding Overlap Between Career and Calling: Look for ways your career skills and your spiritual gifts intersect. Are you a great project manager? Are you gifted in working with people? Identify the strengths God has given you and see how they show up in your work. Use a Venn diagram to visualize the overlap between your career and calling. On one side, list aspects of your career; on the other, list your spiritual gifts and callings. In the middle, find the common ground. Biblical Inspiration – The Apostle Paul: Paul is a prime example of balancing career and calling. While he traveled, preached, and planted churches, he also worked as a tentmaker. His life shows us that it’s possible to fulfill both a career and a spiritual calling simultaneously. Encouragement for Those Struggling in Their Jobs: If you’re in a job you dislike, remember that God has placed you there for a reason. Seek strength in prayer and look for ways to align your daily work with your higher calling. Practical Steps to Align Career and Calling: Reflect on your strengths and gifts. Identify ways to integrate your calling into your current job. Seek God’s guidance in balancing your responsibilities and calling. Community and Support: Join our free Facebook community, ”Called and Confident Community,” to share your experiences and learn from others who are navigating the same journey. We want to hear how you bring your calling into your career!

    117. Overcoming Doubt: How Faith and Trust in God’s Plan Can Transform Your Journey

    Sign Up for a One-on-One Coaching Session: https://calendly.com/shaylahiltonenterprisesllc/strengths-assessment-coaching Main Discussion Points: Experiencing Doubt in Faith: Doubt is a common experience, even among those with strong faith. When reality doesn’t match what God has spoken or promised, it can lead to confusion and uncertainty. Doubt often creeps in during seasons of uncertainty when we’re unsure of our purpose or the next steps to take. The Danger of Doubt: Doubt can quickly lead to discouragement and a negative mindset if not addressed. It’s important to recognize when doubt is trying to take over and to take steps to guard our minds and hearts against it. Why Do We Doubt? Doubt arises when what we see in the natural world doesn’t align with what we’ve heard from God. This conflict between the physical and spiritual can create tension and cause us to question our faith. Biblical Examples of Doubt and Faith: The host encourages listeners to study biblical figures like Thomas and Gideon who also experienced doubt. These stories offer insights into how to navigate doubt and stay strong in faith. Practical Steps to Strengthen Faith: Daily Spiritual Practices: Engage in daily prayer, meditation on God’s word, reading scripture, listening to worship music, and setting the mind on positive, uplifting things. Community Support: Be part of a faith community where you can receive support, encouragement, and strength from others. ”Iron sharpens iron.” Acknowledge Doubt: Understand that experiencing doubt doesn’t make you a “bad Christian.” God understands our struggles and wants us to bring our doubts to Him. Encouragement for the Journey: The host reminds listeners that life and faith are a journey, not a sprint. It’s okay to take breaks and to ask for God’s help along the way. Encourages listeners to keep moving forward, trusting in God’s plan and His ability to transform their lives.

    116. Uncover Hidden Strengths: Leverage Your God-Given Gifts to Fulfill Your Purpose

    Sign Up for a One-on-One Coaching Session: https://calendly.com/shaylahiltonenterprisesllc/strengths-assessment-coaching Key Discussion Points: Understanding Your Calling and Gifts: Are you aware of what you’re called to do? What are the gifts God has placed inside you? Take time this week to reflect on these questions and consider the unique talents God has given you. Uncovering Hidden Strengths: God has blessed each of us with unique and specific gifts tailored to our purpose. These gifts may evolve over time, revealing themselves as we enter different phases of life. Often, we overlook our strengths because they come naturally to us. Take some time to recognize these talents—whether they are skills you use at work, in your community, or within your family. Practical Steps to Leverage Your Gifts: Reflect on the areas in your life where you excel. What are you naturally good at? What do people frequently ask you to help with? These can be clues to your strengths. Consider how you can apply these gifts in both your professional and personal life to align more closely with God’s purpose for you. Biblical Inspiration: David’s Hidden Strengths: David is a prime example of hidden strengths being cultivated for a greater purpose. Though overlooked by others, his gifts were known to God. David remained diligent in his calling, and in time, his strengths were revealed, leading him to fulfill his purpose as King. Take inspiration from David’s story—continue to nurture your gifts, even when they seem unnoticed, knowing that God is preparing you for what’s ahead. Actionable Steps This Week: Reflect on your own strengths and gifts this week. What talents come naturally to you? Where have you seen evidence of God’s gifts in your life? If you’re uncertain about your gifts or need help identifying them, consider scheduling a one-on-one coaching session. Let’s work together to discover your unique strengths and how to use them effectively in your life’s journey.
