Many Christian women feel called to leadership—but quietly shrink back when it’s time to step forward.

Playing small doesn’t always look like rebellion. Often, it looks responsible. Careful. Humble. Busy. Overextended. Waiting for more clarity.

But here’s the truth: playing small is costing you influence.

In this episode, we explore how shrinking back from your calling impacts your leadership, limits your Kingdom influence, and delays the impact God intends for your life. If you’ve been struggling with confidence, clarity, or intentional leadership, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

You’ll discover why playing small:

• Weakens leadership confidence

• Reduces intentional influence

• Delays personal growth

• Clouds clarity about God’s plan

• Limits Kingdom impact

We also talk about how Biblical truth reframes leadership—not as platform-building, but as faithful stewardship of influence. Christian leadership requires intentional obedience, time management aligned with calling, and confidence rooted in who you are in Christ.

God’s plan for your life is not passive. It requires courage. It requires clarity. It requires growth.

If you’ve felt stuck between calling and action, this episode will help you recognize where fear may be limiting your influence and how to begin stepping forward with confident, intentional leadership.

• Where have I been shrinking back instead of stepping forward?

• Am I managing my time around comfort or calling?

• What influence might I be limiting by playing small?

This episode is part of a larger conversation about overcoming the internal barriers that hinder Christian women from stepping fully into God’s plan. Over the next few weeks, we’ll continue building toward greater clarity, confidence, and intentional leadership.
