    How to Say Yes to God When That Takes You Into the Unknown | With Denisha D. Workizer

    How to Say Yes to God When That Takes You Into the Unknown | With Denisha D. Workizer What do you do when you sense God leading you somewhere—but you don't know where He's taking you? Following God doesn't always come with a clear roadmap. Sometimes saying yes means stepping into uncertainty, taking a risk, walking through unexpected loss, or trusting God with a future you can't see. In this episode of the Full Life Coaching Podcast, Zach Imboden sits down with Denisha D. Workizer to talk about what it looks like to say yes to God when that yes takes you into the unknown. Denisha shares from her own journey of faith, including the loss of her husband, learning to trust God through seasons of uncertainty, and stepping out in faith to start a business. Together, Zach and Denisha explore how we discern God's direction, move forward when we're afraid, and learn to trust God one step at a time. In this conversation, you'll discover: How to recognize when God may be inviting you into something newWhat to do when obedience requires stepping into uncertaintyHow faith can sustain us through grief and unexpected lossHow to discern God's voice from our own desires and fearsWhy we don't need to know the entire plan to take the next stepHow God can use seasons of uncertainty to deepen our faithWhat it looks like to trust God when the future isn't clearIf you're standing at a crossroads, navigating a major transition, grieving a loss, or sensing God asking you to take a step of faith, this conversation will encourage you to remember that God doesn't reveal the entire journey—He simply asks for your next yes. If you're struggling to discern what's next in your life, coaching or spiritual direction can provide a safe space to process what God may be doing and discern your next faithful step.

    Developing the Next Generation of Leaders (Without Losing Yourself in the Process)

    What if the greatest threat to your leadership isn't a lack of talent—but trying to carry everything yourself? Too many leaders spend their time doing the work instead of developing the people. Over time, that doesn't just limit your organization's future—it increases pressure, leads to burnout, and can ultimately cost you what matters most: your soul, your marriage, and your calling. In this episode of the Full Life Coaching Podcast, Zach Imboden sits down with Jake Bartkovsky to explore how healthy leaders multiply leadership without losing themselves in the process. Together, they unpack a practical, biblical framework for developing emerging leaders based on the way Jesus invested in His disciples. Why leadership development is essential for long-term health and sustainabilityThe biggest mistake leaders make that leads to burnoutHow Jesus developed leaders through Access, Responsibility, Feedback, and SafetyWhy leadership is caught before it's taughtHow to empower people without losing controlThe role of feedback and psychological safety in helping leaders growOne simple challenge you can put into practice this week to begin multiplying leaders Whether you're leading a church, business, nonprofit, or team, this conversation will help you build a healthier leadership culture while investing in the next generation. Because healthy leadership isn't about doing more. It's about developing more leaders. Think of one person you're currently leading. This week, intentionally give them one of these four gifts: AccessResponsibilityFeedbackSafetyStart small. Start intentionally. Watch what God does.
