09: Living Your Calling: How Pursuing Your Purpose Inspires Your Family To Do the Same
Hi My Friend,
Someone told me recently, “I’m using my family as an excuse. I don’t want to live out my dreams because I’m afraid it’s going to jeopardize our lives. I’m the breadwinner, and I’m afraid I’ll lose everything.”
If that hits home, you’re not alone.
In this episode, we’re talking about fear, faith, and the fine line between providing for your family and truly leading them.
We’ll unpack:
How fear can disguise itself as responsibility
The way your choices silently shape your family’s beliefs
What it really means to step out in faith — even when your knees are shaking
Because here’s the truth:
You can’t build a life of faith while clinging to the edge of fear.
Sometimes, playing it safe is actually the most dangerous thing you can do.
✝️ In This Episode:
Part 1: The Fear That Feels Noble
Fear often sounds responsible — “I’m doing this for my family” — but it’s really comfort in disguise.
If you can list every reason something won’t work, you can list every reason it will.
Remember: your kids are watching how you handle fear and faith.
Part 2: God’s View on Courage
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid…” (Joshua 1:9)
Faith doesn’t remove fear — it moves through it. God doesn’t need you to have it all figured out; He just asks you to trust Him enough to take the first step.
Part 3: The Leap of Faith (Tactical Steps)
Start with obedience, not outcome. Take one small step of faith today.
Reframe fear as preparation. Learn to tell the difference between discomfort and discernment.
Lead by example. Let your children see what living courageously looks like.
💬 Key Quote:
“You can’t build a life of faith while clinging to the edge of fear. Let go of the pool’s edge—and trust that God’s already in the water waiting for you.”
🙌 Tune In If You’re Ready To:
Stop letting fear masquerade as responsibility
Model courageous faith for your family
Finally take that leap God’s been nudging you toward
🕊️ Scripture Mentioned:
Joshua 1:9 – “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
