God-Given Calling, Real-World Challenges: A Blueprint for Christian Women Leaders | 011

In this Season 3 premiere, I reveal the results of a recent survey of Christian women leaders in ministry and business. As someone who's coached hundreds of Christian women leaders, I've seen these patterns emerge time and again, and I'm passionate about helping you break through these common barriers.

I share the top three challenges these gutsy women face in pursuing their God-given callings, and outline four key areas that will help you overcome obstacles and make greater impact in less time. If you've ever felt alone in your leadership journey or wondered why your calling feels so difficult, this episode offers encouragement and practical insights to help you move forward with confidence.

Key Takeaways

1. Identify Your Big Dream for the Year

• Ask yourself: Is your big goal related to creating resources/services, expanding influence, or impacting your community?

• Take time to clarify what success looks like beyond just completing tasks (e.g., not just finishing a book, but getting it into readers' hands)

2. Recognize Your Top Challenges

• Productivity Challenge (50% of leaders): Carving out time, balancing roles, limiting distractions, staying consistent, stopping procrastination

• Planning Challenge (73% of leaders): Figuring out priorities, sticking to action plans, deciding next steps, determining what offers to create

• People Challenge (86% of leaders): Increasing reach, leveraging partnerships, expanding networks, attracting clients, building support teams

3. Focus on These Four Solution Areas

• Clarity: Get crystal clear on your vision and calling

• Strategy: Create a doable action plan with right priorities

• Visibility: Build bridges between you and those you're called to serve

• Community: Connect with supporters and those you serve (the key to opportunity)
