Have you ever wondered whether something on your heart is really from God or simply your own thoughts? Maybe you keep praying, second-guessing yourself, or waiting for a sign because you do not want to get it wrong.

In this episode, we’re looking at two things that can help you discern whether God is calling you to do something. You’ll gain a more grounded way to prayerfully consider what you’re sensing so you can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

We’ll talk about:

• The one thing you may be looking for that isn’t enough to answer the question: Is it God or me?
• What you might be overlooking that can help you discern whether God is calling you

Have you ever felt clear about God’s calling on your life but still doubted whether you could actually live it out? Many Christian women in midlife feel prompted to step into their life purpose while still questioning whether they are worthy or capable. You may know what He is asking you to do and still second-guess yourself, hold back, or even begin doubting the calling itself.

In this episode, I’m sharing three truths about your identity in Christ that can help you overcome doubt and either step out with confidence in what God is calling you to do or keep moving forward when you feel tempted to shrink back.

We’ll talk about:

• Where you might be looking that causes you to doubt yourself or your calling–and why it doesn’t determine what God can do through you
• What can convince you that you’re not capable–and where the truth about who you are and what you can do actually comes from
• The limit you may think you have when the calling feels bigger than you–and why it isn’t a limit at all

Grow in Clarity and Confidence About Your Identity

If doubt or the way you see yourself has been making it harder to move forward, I have a free guide to help you grow in clarity and confidence about your identity in Christ.

If you've been trying to find your purpose but still feel uncertain about God's direction for your life, you're not alone. Many Christian women in midlife are searching for greater clarity but may be looking for one big answer instead of recognizing the many ways God has already been revealing who He created us to be and what He’s calling us to do.

In this episode, I’m sharing three practical steps to help you find more clarity and direction by shifting the way you may be searching for your life purpose.

We’ll talk about:

• What to look for beyond one big answer when searching for your purpose
• How to look across your life in a way that reveals meaningful clues
• What to do with the clues you discover to move toward greater clarity
