HOST SWAP: Enjoy this interview where I was the guest on Kathryn May's podcast "Free to Lead", where we discussed following God into obedience even when you're scared. It may feel like failure, but it's probably radical obedience.

The "Next Best Step" Strategy to Finding Your Calling

Many of us feel stuck because we are waiting for a clear map, but God often reveals the path one step at a time. In this episode, we break down why fear keeps us paralyzed and how to move from waiting to taking the immediate next step in your purpose.

Key Talking Points & Main Themes:

Overcoming Fear and Inaction:

Fear is the primary barrier to your purpose. We discuss why many of us "idolize clarity" as a way to avoid the risks of taking action, and how the parable of the talents reminds us to steward our gifts rather than bury them.

Taking the Next Best Step:

• You don't need a ten-year plan to start. Jenilee shares her experience starting a podcast without a traditional platform, trusting God to order her steps as she moved.

• Podcasting as Ministry and Business:

How to use media to multiply your message. We discuss how a podcast can serve as an outlet for your calling, reach a global audience, and provide opportunities for authors and speakers to make an impact.

• Hearing God's Voice Daily:

Discover how to discern God's voice in everyday life. We discuss why hearing Him is often a process of learning to recognize His gentle promptings through conversation and asking questions.

• The Power of Your "Yes": Stepping into your calling requires saying "yes" to God before you feel ready. Learn how consistent, small acts of obedience lead to doors opening that you never could have opened yourself.

• Boundaries for Spiritual Freedom: How to prioritize family, ministry, and business. We explore setting boundaries as a way to find alignment and freedom rather than burnout.

• Impact Over Income: Why focusing on Kingdom impact is the most reliable way to build a sustainable life and business. Learn how to trust that God will provide when you focus on serving others.

Denise Renner joins me for a powerful conversation on identity, marriage, and the transformative power of hearing God's voice, even when you feel you've lost yourself. We dive deep into the real-world struggles Christian wives face and how to find true freedom and purpose in Christ.

💡 Episode Highlights

In this episode, we explore how to break free from the trap of hiding behind your spouse and instead embrace the unique gifts God has given you. We discuss the necessity of trusting God's leading in your life and marriage, even when the path is challenging or unexpected. You’ll learn how to navigate difficult marital dynamics by speaking truth in love and relying on the Holy Spirit’s guidance, rather than falling into the "nag" trap.

Denise unpacks the core message of her book, "Who Stole Cinderella?", and shares how a wise woman can build a beautiful, godly house by focusing on her own walk with the Lord. We also cover the critical importance of forgiveness—not as a suggestion, but as a command to pursue peace—and how one spouse can truly change the trajectory of a marriage. Finally, we share practical steps to foster a healthier, more thankful relationship by actively speaking life into your marriage and your spouse.
