“The anxiety around uncertainty is caused by the belief that we need certainty to act."

Episode 9: Certainty Not Required
Embracing Uncertainty, Setbacks, and Serendipity in the Creative Life

What if the need for certainty is actually the thing keeping you stuck?

In this episode of Be. Make. Do., Lisa and Dan explore how uncertainty, setbacks, and even mistakes can become powerful catalysts for creative and vocational freedom. Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, they look at how figures like Abraham, Sarah, and Ruth navigated the unknown—and what their stories teach us about faithful action without guarantees.

You’ll discover why certainty isn’t required to move forward, how action itself can become part of discernment, and how to recognize serendipity as an “expected unexpected” in the creative life.
