62. How Will This Be? Saying Yes to God When You Don’t Know the How.

What happens when God stirs a calling that feels bigger than your capacity, your resources, or your clarity?

In this episode, pastor and leadership coach, Jeannette Cochran, returns to the Christmas story, not the sanitized, porcelain-figurine version of Mary, but the real young woman we meet in the gospel of Luke. A teenager. Overlooked. Without power or status. And yet, entrusted with a world-changing calling.

Mary’s honest question,“How will this be?” is not a lack of faith. It is the beginning of courageous leadership.

This conversation is especially for women who sense God calling them to more; more influence, more leadership, more impact but feel stuck in uncertainty, waiting for clarity or a plan that hasn’t yet appeared.

Through Mary’s story, we find three anchors that consistently appear in Scripture when God calls someone into purpose:

• Why identity is spoken before obedience
• How God often owns the how when the calling exceeds human capacity
• What it means to offer a brave yes, even when the cost is real

Jeannette shares a personal story of carrying a God-sized vision for years, long before there were resources, clarity, or a path forward, and how God brought it to life in ways that could never have been planned or engineered.

This episode invites women leaders to stop disqualifying themselves, stop waiting to feel “ready,” and begin trusting the heart of the One who calls, especially when the way forward is unclear.
