Have you ever felt called by God, truly called, but still found yourself stuck in the waiting? In this solo episode, I open up about those "yes, but not quite" seasons. These are the times when you're holding onto a promise from God that hasn’t yet come to pass. From my early days in birth work to a surprising call into ministry, I share the deeply personal and sometimes painful journey of how obedience in small steps, like sending devotional emails or hosting a Bible study, eventually led to writing books, launching a conference, and creating this podcast.
This episode is honest and real. I talk about feeling unqualified, navigating rejection, and questioning whether I misunderstood God’s voice. But I also share how God met me in surrender, not perfection. If you’ve ever doubted your readiness, this is your confirmation to begin. God isn't waiting for you to have it all together. He's simply asking for your yes.
