Fear talks loud, but it doesn’t get to lead.
In this episode, we’re confronting the fear of failure, the fear of starting, and the fear of not being “enough” and exposing how these feelings block you from moving in what God actually called you to do.

This is your reminder that confidence isn’t the requirement ; obedience is. Sometimes you won’t feel ready. Sometimes you won’t feel bold. Sometimes you won’t feel qualified.
Move anyway. Do it scared. Do it called.

Inside this episode:
• Why fear exaggerates failure before you even begin
• How faith pushes you forward when your feelings paralyze you
• The truth about failure: feedback, not finality
• How to break big goals into faith-sized steps
• How to silence the part of you that wants to stay small
• What obedience looks like when you’re nervous, anxious, or unsure

Scripture Anchors:
Joshua 1:9
Philippians 4:13

Ask Yourself:
Where has fear been holding your purpose hostage — and what would shift if you moved anyway?

Final Word:
Your hands might shake.
Your voice might tremble.
Your feelings might scream “no.”
But your calling still stands.
Do it scared. Do it called.

Church hurt hits different when it comes from people who claim to love God but move with shade, competition, and quiet chaos. This episode opens up the conversation around “mean girl energy” in ministry and how easy it is to lose focus when emotions take the lead. Supervisor Ashia C. Simpson (www.ashiasimpson.com) joins the conversation with honest wisdom on choosing spiritual maturity over petty behavior and keeping your heart aligned even when the environment isn’t.

You’ll hear practical guidance on protecting your peace, staying grounded in your assignment, and refusing to let gossip or insecurity distract you from what God called you to do. This conversation brings clarity, accountability, and a reality check for anyone navigating messy spaces in church culture.

Obedience doesn’t always feel good.
Sometimes it stings.
Sometimes it exposes you.
Sometimes it breaks you down before God builds you up.
But that’s where real transformation happens.

This episode dives into the stretch, the discomfort, and the growth that obedience produces when your feelings want to run the other way.

What you’ll hear

• Why obedience challenges your emotions
• How obedience can feel painful but still be purposeful
• A moment when doing the right thing felt like a personal loss
• Why discomfort is a sign that God is stretching you
• How to track your obedience through journaling
• The value of having accountability during tough seasons
• What Abraham, Joseph, and David teach us about uncomfortable obedience

Scripture references

• James 1:2-4 — Trials build perseverance and maturity
• Romans 8:28 — God works all things for your good

Key takeaways

• Obedience won’t always feel comfortable
• Growth often starts with discomfort
• Pain doesn’t mean you’re out of God’s will
• Obedience prepares you before it promotes you
• Accountability helps you stay committed

Reflection question

What did God ask you to do that hurt your feelings, but you did it anyway? How did it change you?

Call to action

Lean into the stretch.
Honor what God is asking for.
Let obedience shape the version of you He’s building.
