Many people want to hear from God—until He asks them to do something that doesn’t align with their plans.
In today’s episode of This Feels Holy, I share what really happens when we ignore God’s calling. Using stories from the Bible like King Saul and Pharaoh, we’ll explore how disobedience doesn’t just delay your destiny—it detours it. From personal experiences of resistance to spiritual redirection, I walk you through the real cost of saying “no” to God.
We’ll talk about:
✨How ignoring God's instructions leads to spiritual misalignment
✨The signs you're out of alignment
✨The difference between loving God and obeying God
✨Why obedience is better than sacrifice
✨How to repent and return to your calling—even if you feel disqualified
✨And a few raw, personal stories of what happened when I disobeyed... and when I finally listened
If you’ve ever struggled to surrender to God’s voice, this episode is for you.
