In this week’s Founder Collective conversation, the table opened wide to powerful stories of humility, surrender, and discerning God’s voice in the middle of life’s toughest seasons. From fasting through hard decisions, to caring for aging parents, to navigating provision and calling, each voice brought wisdom on what it means to live fully dependent on God.

Together, we unpack what it looks like to pause instead of react, wait with expectancy instead of passivity, and recognize the ways we sometimes “falsify” God’s peace or provision by moving ahead in our own strength. You’ll walk away encouraged to release control, lean into community, and step boldly into the unique calling God has placed on your life.

If you’ve ever struggled with waiting, discernment, or feeling “unworthy” at the table, this episode will remind you that you are called, not because you’re qualified, but because He has invited you.
