In this powerful episode, I sit down with Cassandra Speer, author and theologian, to explore the complex interplay between fear, purpose, and significance. We delve into the challenges of feeling underestimated and how our past stories can sometimes make us doubt our ability to make a difference.
Cassandra shares her journey from a challenging childhood to becoming an influential voice in Christian circles. We discuss:
- The tension between feeling called to something greater and doubting our qualifications
- How to balance the desire for impact with the need for authenticity in the age of social media
- The importance of focusing on "the one" rather than chasing large numbers
- Overcoming criticism and self-doubt when pursuing our calling
- The value of "micro-purposes" in our daily lives, even when we can't see the bigger picture
This conversation challenges conventional wisdom about success and significance, offering a fresh perspective on living out our purpose. Whether you're feeling stuck, afraid to step out, or questioning your ability to make an impact, this episode provides encouragement and practical insights for moving forward in faith.
Join us as we explore what it truly means to be "ready as you are" and embrace the calling God has placed on your life.
