God Hears Her Podcast

EP. 36: Becoming a Trailblazer (with Ambassador Sujay Cook)


Listen Later

What do you think of when you hear the word trailblazer? Maybe a pioneer or innovator? A person who takes risks in order to brave a new path? In this episode of God Hears Her, Ambassador Sujay shares her story about following God’s lead. Much of her story involves trailblazing, and she will help us understand ways to open the door to new things and how to hold that door open for the next woman to walk through.

 

About our guest: 

Rev. Dr. Ambassador Suzan Johnson Cook, or Ambassador Sujay, is a lady of many firsts. A national and international influencer, Ambassador Sujay was the first female and African-American to hold the position of US Ambassador for International Religious Freedom. She was the first female chaplain for the NYC Police Department, has been the faith advisor to two presidents, and is an author of 15 books. Additionally, she’s often in demand as a preacher, motivator, and keynote speaker.

 

Notes and Quotes:

  • “Every road leads to the next road that God would want you to have, but it’s about ‘What have you done that I have given you?’”
  • When going into a profession that is male-dominated, deal with men as if they are friends rather than foes, as colleagues rather than competition.
  • “Trailblazing can have its tolls, but it can also have its triumphs.”
  • “When you compile the blessings, and you look at the time where you felt not blessed, the list [of blessings] is so long.”
  • The P’s to know: politics, policies, pumps (shoes), purse, protectors, principles, positioning, polish.
  • A lot of women self-reject: “I haven’t been invited like she has been invited.” God has already invited you.
  • “COVID is a selah moment. He has given the whole world a pause”
  • “Pivot to prepare.”
  • “Not every invitation is for you. That is called discernment.”
