FREE QUIZ: Am I growing in my calling?

 

Episode Summary: Welcome back to the show, friends! In today's episode, we dive into why your goals might feel unreachable as a busy Christian woman and explore practical steps to overcome these feelings. We'll discuss the importance of breaking down big goals, finding clarity, and managing the costs associated with your purpose.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Recognizing the Scope of Your Goals:

    • Feeling overwhelmed by the size of your goals is normal.
    • Big visions are often signs that the calling is from God.
    • Understand that you are not meant to complete the big task alone; lean into God for guidance and support.
  2. Three Reasons Goals Feel Unreachable:

    • Too Big: Goals seem insurmountable because they are meant to be accomplished with God's help.
    • Too Unclear: Lack of clarity is expected; you only need to know the next step.
    • Too Costly: The journey will require sacrifices of time, energy, and resources.
  3. Actionable Steps to Make Goals Attainable:

    • Break Down Big Goals: Divide your big vision into 3-5 smaller, actionable steps.
    • Seek Clarity: Write out what you understand about your goal and consult with a coach or mentor.
    • Count the Costs for Step One: Focus on the resources needed for just the first step, rather than the entire journey.

Practical Application:

  • Break Down Goals: Write down the major goal and list 3-5 simpler tasks to start with.
  • Seek Clarity: Document what you know about your calling and discuss it with a trusted advisor.
  • Count Costs: Assess the time, energy, and financial investment needed for the initial step of your journey.

Encouragement:

  • Trust in God's plan and timing.
  • Be obedient to the immediate next step rather than the entire vision.
  • Surrender the big picture to God and focus on what you can do today.

Closing Prayer and Support:

  • Know that your goals are not unreachable. God is guiding you each step of the way.
  • Stay committed, trust, surrender, and be obedient to God's lead.
  • Praying for your strength and clarity this week.

XOXO,

Shayla

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
