    CSP - Episode 10 - Surrender the Excuses

    Episode Summary: Welcome back! It’s so exciting to be here, keeping the promise to come back every two weeks and reconnect with you all! Your support, encouragement, and kind words mean the world to me; it’s the fuel behind this podcast. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the topic of overcoming excuses—those sneaky, fear-based reasons that keep us from following God’s call. Using Moses’ story as an anchor, we’ll explore how he (and we) can find countless reasons to say “I’m not enough.” But God reminds us, just as He did with Moses, that He’s with us every step of the way, no matter how unqualified we might feel. Key Takeaways: Starting the Podcast Journey Sometimes, obedience feels scary. I had so many reasons not to start this podcast: fears, questions, costs. But obedience was the answer, not perfection. The Moses Excuse Effect Like Moses, we often question our abilities. “Who am I?” “What if they don’t listen?” We each have our “list of excuses,” but God promises He’ll be with us. When we surrender our excuses, we open ourselves to the life-changing work God has for us and others. Recognizing God’s Voice Feeling a nudge from God? Sit with it. Reflect on what it could mean for you and others. Sometimes, taking that step isn’t about confidence; it’s about obedience and trust. The S5 Approach in “A Deeper Walk” Journal I’m excited to share a tool I created to help deepen your walk with God. A Deeper Walk: A 21-Day Guided Journal incorporates my S5 approach:Stillness – Calm your heart. Scripture – Dive deep into God’s Word. Scripture – Dive deep into God’s Word again! Silence – Listen to God’s voice. Say – Reflect on what God’s saying to you. The Power of Surrender The act of surrendering to God can lead us into new and incredible places. It might look imperfect, but it’s progress. It’s obedience. Overcoming Obstacles Despite budget issues, obstacles, and typos, God has enabled this journey, and it’s one I hope will encourage and empower you to pursue whatever He’s calling you toward. Quotes to Remember: “The Great I AM will empower and enable you to do what He’s called you to do.” “Being obedient is the success, not perfection.” Pre-Order Your Copy of “A Deeper Walk” Guided Journal!
