Priorities on Purpose: Get Out of Survival Mode, Eliminate Distractions, Find Your Focus, and Grow With Jesus

From Broken to Bold: How to Share Your Testimony & Step Into Your Calling {Part 3 with Christy}


Listen Later

In the final part of this powerful series, Christy opens up about what it looks like to step into your purpose after a radical encounter with Jesus. She and Melissa discuss how to share your testimony with others, how to simplify your message to connect with people who don’t know church language, and why your story matters more than you think.

Melissa offers real-time coaching to help Christy walk out her calling—from starting a Bible study in her apartment to discerning what’s from God and what’s a distraction. They also talk about resting, healing, and avoiding spiritual counterfeits online.

If you’ve felt like God is calling you to speak, teach, or simply share what Jesus has done in your life, this episode will give you practical steps, encouragement, and permission to start where you are.

Key Takeaways:
  • [00:00] - Coaching Through Blind Spots

    Melissa helps Christy identify areas where she can grow and surrender deeper to God by uncovering blind spots in her healing and parenting.

  • [02:05] - No Shame in Sharing: Your Past Doesn’t Define You

    Christy shares how she’s learning to use her painful past to help others while embracing the truth that she is no longer who she used to be.

  • [03:33] - The Power of Your Testimony

    Melissa reminds Christy of the woman at the well and the ripple effect that sharing your encounter with Jesus can have when others come to know Him personally.

  • [05:01] - Churchy Language vs. Real-Life Connection

    A conversation about why words like “spiritual warfare” and “generational curses” can create barriers—and how to communicate your testimony in ways that resonate with non-believers.

  • [09:44] - How to Be a Light in the Church

    Christy shares her heart to reach hurting people who feel judged or unwelcome at church, and Melissa encourages her to disrupt the norm by showing up authentically.

  • [14:32] - Waiting vs. Walking: Starting With What You Have

    Instead of waiting for the perfect setup, Melissa challenges Christy to begin by hosting a Bible study—BYOC style (bring your own chair).

  • [22:22] - Healing Is Productive: Rest Is the Assignment

    Both women talk about learning to rest, hearing from God, and healing from places and people that once felt like “home.”

  • [27:39] - Guarding Your Focus and Staying Discerned

    Melissa cautions Christy about consuming content that looks spiritual but isn’t rooted in God’s truth—and encourages her to do a content audit.
