In this episode of The Pursuit of Calling, I share the biggest decision I’ve ever made—leaving my full-time job as a web and app developer to pursue my life coaching business full time. Even though I’m not a natural risk-taker, I felt God calling me to step out in faith and do it scared.
I walk through the process of seeking wise counsel, praying and fasting for clarity, and trusting God even when the future feels uncertain. This episode is for anyone who feels called to something more but is afraid to take the next step. We talk about what it means to pursue your God-given calling, why fear doesn’t disqualify you, and how small, faithful steps can lead to powerful growth.
If you’ve ever wrestled with a major life decision, questioned your purpose, or wondered how to trust God with your career and calling, this episode will encourage you to take action—one step at a time.
I also invite you to take one intentional step this week by doing something scared and leaning into the calling God has placed on your heart.
