CONFIDENCE in YOUR CALLING | Courageous Obedience for Christian Women, Surrender, Clarity, Purpose, Inspiration, Faith, Fear, Time Management

Are you a Christian woman who feels called by God but struggles with insecurity, overwhelm, or second-guessing your obedience? Welcome to Confidence in Your Calling — a faith-based podcast for Christian women who are ready to stop seeking the world’s approval, quiet the noise, and step boldly into God’s calling with courageous obedience. If you feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, anxious, or exhausted, it can be hard to hear God clearly... And then when you do hear God's voice... sometimes it is not easy to answer that call. This podcast helps you reduce mental noise, strengthen your confidence in Christ, and move from hesitation to faith-filled action. I’m Dawn Shurley, a certified Christian Life Coach, and I’m passionate about helping women align with God’s Kingdom, build spiritual clarity, and obey without fear. When we seek God first, He forms the desires of our heart and strengthens us to walk in them. Each episode explores three core pillars: Kingdom Clarity — Anchoring your identity in Christ, cultivating a deeper devotional life, and inviting God into your decisions, relationships, and daily rhythms. Peace & Presence — Reducing overwhelm and decision fatigue, creating space to hear God’s voice, and building rhythms that support emotional and spiritual stability. Purpose & Contribution — Living from rest instead of pressure, embracing your calling with confidence, and glorifying God through faithful obedience. If you’re ready to stop waiting for permission, overcome fear, and walk boldly in God’s plan for your life — you’re in the right place. I am so glad you are here!

We all have callings on our lives and we are called to courageous obedience in those callings.  We are all called to build our lives upon the Rock through God's Word and faith in His good and perfect ways.  From there we have callings as to how we date, our marriages, our parenting and then to our ministries and community outreach.  What a beautiful place it is when we align our life with God's Will.

I pray you listen and leave thi...

If you’ve ever felt anxiety, overwhelm, or tense… there is a good chance your thoughts were anchored in a shifting sea of the world’s identity metrics. Basing our identity on the ever changing world… we lose our footing and therefore, let go of the peace God gives us. 

If we can make it a priority to slow down… and seek God first… we can anchor in the Identity He gives us… and then we are grounded and feel secure, even when the w...

Scripture:

Matthew 8:23-27

Reflection:

Am I so anchored in Christ that my peace surpasses all understanding when storms come… or do I go into a state of anxiety and call out for Jesus to help because I have not fully anchored...

This Christmas Season let’s appreciate that because of Abraham’s faith, and our Good God… God’s promise was fulfilled. Through Abraham’s bloodline, the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, came to fruition. Merry Christmas! Dawn Shurley

The Bible is full of intricate threaded storyline from the start of creation… pointing toward the birth of Jesus, for thousands of years… and far beyond. The Word is alive and life giving. It’s clear why the Bible is the most purchased and read book of all time. Thank you God for the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This is the first episode of Grow Closer to Jesus. Thank you for joining on this journey.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
