What if the biggest thing standing between you and your calling isn't a lack of ability—but waiting until you feel ready?

In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we're talking about the power of pre-deciding that you'll continue to show up, use your God-given gifts, and stay faithful—even when fear, insecurity, or excuses try to hold you back.

Using 2 Timothy 1:6-7, we unpack Paul's encouragement to Timothy to "fan into flame" the gift God had placed within him and explore why Timothy was able to receive that correction. Because he had a mentor. He had accountability. He had someone who loved him enough to speak to his fears and call him up, not out.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What it means to "fan into flame" your spiritual gifts.
• Why you can't trust your feelings to determine your faithfulness.
• The importance of discipleship and accountability in your spiritual growth.
• How to pre-decide to show up before excuses have a chance to win.
• Why God has given you a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline—not fear.

If you've been shrinking back, doubting yourself, or waiting until you feel more confident, this episode is the reminder you need: Your calling doesn't pause because your feelings fluctuate.

It's time to fan the flame, silence the excuses, and become the woman God created you to be.
