    Clarify Your God-Given Message So You Can Help Others Overcome the Struggle You've Conquered

    Ep 102 // Clarify Your God-Given Message So You Can Help Others Overcome the Struggle You've Conquered Are you an overcomer? Have you been through more than your fair share of pain and come out on the other side? Have you learned things along the way that would benefit others? If so - God may be calling you to share your story with the world! Or at least, your family and friends. :) But what if you're not exactly sure what that message is? Let alone - how to share it? Megan shares a conversation she had with Nadine Mullings in the "Power of Your Message" Summit. This conversation focuses on clarifying your message and understanding the "what" before the "who" when it comes to sharing your God-given message. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Anchor Your Identity: Before clarifying your message, firmly root your identity in Christ. This alignment sets a solid foundation for all aspects of your life and work. As Megan Nilsen shared, "Your highest calling is to be a daughter of the King, to be anchored in Christ" [00:00:00].Get Aligned and Activated: Truly listening to God’s voice can provide clarity on your message and next steps. Take ownership of the insights you receive and start taking action. Megan emphasizes, "There’s traction in the action" [00:31:25].Clarity Over Confusion: A confused message confuses others. When you are clear about what God has placed on your heart to share, it can transform lives. As shared by Megan, "If you confuse, you lose. Clear is kind." [00:13:45]. For those eager to dig deeper, we discussed a fantastic free resource, the Hearing God’s Voice Bookmark, available through Megan’s website, to help you discern God's voice versus your own. 🙏 Quotable Quotes: "Clarity with your message, clarity with your who, your what, or even your why is by taking action. And when you take action, that is when you get the clarity." "If we're not anchored correctly, we'll get blown in this direction and blown in that direction and have, you know, shiny object syndrome because we're not anchored in what's most important." Get the course to clarify your message and determine your next right step! --> whatnotwhocourse.com Connect with Megan Nilsen: Website:meganbnilsen.com(learn about coaching, books, speaking all in one place!)

"For each and every person that's listening in right now, we pray that there is something in this interview that will be highlighted to them in this next season, this next week, whether it's now or in a year or two from now, that there'll be something that would spark something within them."
