Let’s just get real...there’s a silent battle happening in the Church, and it’s not about pews or playlists. It’s imposter syndrome, and it’s running wild in the hearts of purpose-driven Christians who know they’ve been called...but still question if they’re enough.

In this fire-filled episode of Christian Authors with Marilyn Jeanne Designs, we’re sitting down with the powerhouse herself: Terra Utter...author, leadership coach, faith-based consultant, and psychology PhD candidate. She’s the brilliant force behind NEC Inspires, and she’s here to remind us that you don’t need to shrink to fit into spaces God already said were yours.

With over 20 years of experience equipping Kingdom-minded leaders, Terra unpacks the hard-hitting truth behind her book Grace Over Doubt...and trust us, it’s not your typical “just pray harder” message. Spoiler: faith and strategy aren’t enemies. In fact, “faith without works is dead” (James 2:26, KJV).

We’re going deep on how to:

  • Face doubt with the full armor of God
  • Walk boldly in your calling without apology
  • Let go of guilt when God calls you to lead louder

So grab your notebook, your coffee, and maybe a highlighter...because this one’s for the writer who’s tired of second-guessing and ready to rise. Hit play and let God remind you that you are chosen, equipped, and anointed.

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” — Philippians 1:6 (KJV)
