Kingdom Life Coaching: Untangle the Noise, Hear God's Voice, Clarify Your Calling

Ep 47 // What’s a Better Question Than “Why Shouldn’t I Do This?” Seeking a Clear Conscience.

A blueprint for Kingdom living from Acts 24. What does it look like to live with a clear conscience before God and people? 

Join Megan as she shares: 

• Holy Spirit insights from Paul’s defense before Felix in Acts chapter 24. 

• What is “conscience"? And what can we learn from taking a Kingdom perspective?

• A better question for deciding whether or not to move forward in something rather than, “Why SHOULDN’T I do this?”

Questions you’ll ask yourself in this episode:

• To what is your soul attached? The flesh or the Holy Spirit of God?

• Where are you holding onto an offense that is potentially blocking blessings in your life? 

• Is there an area in which you are mad at God right now? Another human being?

• How are you tempted to slip into murky waters by saying “why shouldn’t I do this?”

Megan is excited to walk this journey with you! Join her to have conversations on reframing life, love, and calling to live the life God has so purposefully created for you.

Quotable Quotes:

“Conscience regulates differently in different people. What is that about? Our souls are tricky! And subjective…”

“When things get cloudy and confusing, take an assessment. Where are your eyes focused? Are they focused on Jesus?”

Ep 46 // How to Know When Something is No Longer Yours to Do

Last week we talked about following God’s call into greater Kingdom impact even (and especially) when it’s not desirable! This week, we’re talking about the other side of the equation. What to do and how to know something is actually no longer yours to carry

Join Megan as she shares: 

• From Deuteronomy 31. 

• The mantle of leadership is no longer for Moses to carry. He is passing it off to Joshua. 

• Clues that it’s time to release something. 

• The reasons we hold on to things (commitments) longer than we should.

• The attitude/posture we should have when handing something off to a new leader. 

Questions you’ll ask yourself in this episode:

• What are you no longer ABLE to do at the highest level of service and integrity?

• What do you sense God saying to you about your commitment/involvement in a certain area?

• What are you holding onto longer than you should because you’re afraid of missing out on the blessings of the next season?

Megan is excited to walk this journey with you! Join her to have conversations on reframing life, love, and calling to live the life God has so purposefully created for you.

Quotable Quotes:

“The world says it’s time to move on when something ‘no longer serves you.’ … The Kingdom says, you need to let it go when it no longer serves [God.]”

“Just because your season in something is over, does not mean you are completely out of the picture. You can leave a legacy.”
