Ep 136 // Hearing God’s Voice & Discovering Your Core Values with Leadership Coach Sharon Mankin (Part 1)

Do you ever wonder how to recognize God’s voice in your everyday life? In Part One of this powerful conversation, I sit down with life and leadership coach Sharon Mankin to explore her faith journey and how she’s learned to listen for God’s whisper. Sharon shares deeply practical tools—like journaling “wondrous things” in Scripture and embracing the awkward moments that lead to authentic connection. We also begin unpacking the importance of core values as the foundation for how we live, love, and lead.

What You’ll Learn in Part One:

• Sharon’s first unforgettable moment hearing God say, “Come, follow Me.”
• The practice of writing “WT” (wondrous things) in your Bible to mark God’s voice.
• How awkwardness often becomes the doorway to connection and growth.
• Why prayer “on the spot” can transform daily faith.
• A first look at core values—what they are and why they shape everything.

Quotable Moment:

“Maybe awkwardness is just the doorway God uses to show us a wondrous thing.”

Note: This is Part One of my conversation with Sharon. Don’t miss Part Two, where we go deeper into legacy, vision, and mission—and you’ll walk away with practical steps to create intentional impact in your family and community.
