Have you ever lost your confidence just as you were about to take a big risk?

It’s not your imagination. That wave of self-doubt, discouragement, or distraction is more than a bad day—it’s creative resistance. Understanding where it comes from (and how to respond) could be the difference between quitting and persevering.

This episode explores the spiritual reality of creative resistance—what it looks like, why it shows up, and how to prepare your heart for the battle that often follows a calling. You’ll hear personal experiences, biblical encouragement, and three powerful strategies for staying grounded when the enemy shows up loud.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
 🧠 Why resistance shows up and how to recognize it
 ⚔️ Practical tools to fight discouragement, doubt, and spiritual attack
 ✨ The surprising truth that resistance reveals about you and your dream

If you've ever wondered whether you’re cut out for this dream or whether it’s even worth the battle, this conversation will reframe the struggle and help you stand firm.

 You don’t have to fight alone. It’s time to surround yourself with a community of women who know that resistance will come and are ready to fight back, together! 

Download the new 7-day devotional: 7 Truths to Silence the Voice of Self-Doubt and get started today. It’s a short and powerful guide to help you get unstuck and remember what’s true.
