Ever felt completely sure you knew what God was asking—only to be stopped in your tracks when it came time to do it? 

In Episode 7 of the FOUND & REFINED podcast, I get raw and honest about those moments when our confidence falters, even as God is calling us forward. Why do we feel so unworthy or uncertain, unable to take the step God is pointing out? Where does that inner resistance really come from?

 

This episode digs deep beneath the surface: I share the real questions I had to ask myself to find the root of my hesitation—and what God revealed about starting in the right place. I thought launching the podcast was the next milestone, but God reminded me it’s about how I walk the journey, not just my destination.

 

If you’ve ever wondered why you freeze up when it’s time to act—or how to realign your pace and perspective with God’s—this honest conversation is for you. Let’s learn to hear Him more clearly and trust Him more deeply, together.
