You’re not just growing — you’re being called. This episode explores how to trust the process when it feels uncertain, lonely, or unseen — and why alignment always begins with identity.
Have you ever felt the quiet nudge that you’re outgrowing where you are — but questioned whether it’s selfish, risky, or unrealistic to move forward?
In this episode, we explore the deeply personal process of following God into unfamiliar territory — even when there’s no detailed roadmap. Whether you’re in a career that no longer fits, a role that feels too small, or a season that’s quietly ending, this conversation invites you to trust the One who’s calling you forward.
Julie shares how ILR came into being without her fully realizing it, and the moments of obedience and awkwardness that led to deeper healing and alignment. We look at Abraham’s obedience in Genesis 12, John Bevere’s radical career pivot, and the neuroscience behind meaning-making and identity clarity.
Key takeaways:
- Why spiritual growth often feels like loss before it feels like alignment
- How vertical alignment soothes the nervous system
- What it means to honor calling, even when it’s not convenient
- How your obedience is never just for you
Today’s Micro-Recalibration:
Ask yourself:
– Where have I been slow to move because I’ve been waiting for permission?
– What has God already asked me to do — that I haven’t acted on yet?
– What would shift if I trusted the Giver more than the gift?
If others look to you — as a manager, parent, partner, or friend — model what it looks like to honor calling over comfort. Share the stretch. Normalize obedience.
Whether you’re in the messy middle or quietly sensing more — this episode reminds you: you’re not behind. You’re being aligned.
