đ§ What happens when you speak up, rise up, and step fully into what youâre called to build, and suddenly resistance shows up from places you never expected?
In this episode of the Dream Doers Podcast, host Jana Marie talks openly about the real cost of impact. This is a conversation for anyone building a mission-driven business, nonprofit, or platform who has felt the weight of visibility, criticism, and opposition that often comes with making meaningful change.
This episode isnât about fear holding you back. Itâs about understanding what actually happens when you lead, advocate, and refuse to stay quiet. Jana unpacks why resistance so often rises the moment alignment does, why pushback doesnât mean youâre wrong, and how history, scripture, and real life show us that change has always come at a price.
Through biblical stories like David, Job, Moses, Esther, and Nehemiah, alongside reflections on modern-day leadership and advocacy, this episode explores how to stay steady when people become cruel, how to respond without reacting, and how to keep building without letting hate distract you from the people youâre meant to serve.
If youâre building something that matters, this episode is a reminder that opposition doesnât disqualify your calling. Often, it confirms it.
â Listen if youâre leading with purpose.
â Stay if youâve felt the weight of being seen.
âLeave reminded that courage and obedience matter more than approval.
đŹ If youâre building something thatâs bigger than you, Iâd love to know, what keeps you grounded when resistance shows up? Share in the comments or send this episode to someone whoâs doing brave work behind the scenes.
