In this episode of The Pursuit of Calling, I share honestly about what I’m afraid of as I step away from a full-time job and move into full-time obedience to what I believe God is calling me to do.
I talk through the fears many of us face when pursuing our calling—financial uncertainty, fear of failure, letting people down, and the tension between comfort and obedience. I reflect on Joshua 1:9, why courage doesn’t require confidence, and how God often only reveals the next step instead of the entire path.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between safety and obedience, this episode is for you. I also challenge you to identify one step of obedience God is asking you to take this week—even if you don’t feel ready.
Topics covered:
- Fear vs. obedience in pursuing your calling
- Leaving job security to follow God’s direction
- Why courage doesn’t mean confidence
- Trusting God as provider—financially and emotionally
- Taking the next step when the full path isn’t clear
