    Key Takeaways:Understanding Your Calling: Many of us feel a strong spiritual calling but may not know what it is or how it aligns with our current job. It's okay to feel this way. The important part is acknowledging that God has a purpose for you beyond your nine-to-five.Navigating Bi-Vocational Life: It's common to juggle multiple roles—working a regular job while also pursuing ministry or other callings. The key is learning how to balance these responsibilities effectively.Finding Overlap Between Career and Calling:Look for ways your career skills and your spiritual gifts intersect. Are you a great project manager? Are you gifted in working with people?

On one side, list aspects of your career; on the other, list your spiritual gifts and callings. In the middle, find the common ground.Biblical Inspiration – The Apostle Paul: Paul is a prime example of balancing career and calling. While he traveled, preached, and planted churches, he also worked as a tentmaker. His life shows us that it’s possible to fulfill both a career and a spiritual calling simultaneously.Encouragement for Those Struggling in Their Jobs: If you’re in a job you dislike, remember that God has placed you there for a reason. Seek strength in prayer and look for ways to align your daily work with your higher calling.Practical Steps to Align Career and Calling:Reflect on your strengths and gifts.Identify ways to integrate your calling into your current job.Seek God’s guidance in balancing your responsibilities and calling.Community and Support: Join our free Facebook community, "Called and Confident Community," to share your experiences and learn from others who are navigating the same journey.

    Main Discussion Points:

    Experiencing Doubt in Faith:Doubt is a common experience, even among those with strong faith.When reality doesn't match what God has spoken or promised, it can lead to confusion and uncertainty.Doubt often creeps in during seasons of uncertainty when we're unsure of our purpose or the next steps to take.The Danger of Doubt:Doubt can quickly lead to discouragement and a negative mindset if not addressed.It's important to recognize when doubt is trying to take over and to take steps to guard our minds and hearts against it.Why Do We Doubt?Doubt arises when what we see in the natural world doesn't align with what we've heard from God.This conflict between the physical and spiritual can create tension and cause us to question our faith.Biblical Examples of Doubt and Faith:The host encourages listeners to study biblical figures like Thomas and Gideon who also experienced doubt.These stories offer insights into how to navigate doubt and stay strong in faith.Practical Steps to Strengthen Faith:Daily Spiritual Practices: Engage in daily prayer, meditation on God’s word, reading scripture, listening to worship music, and setting the mind on positive, uplifting things.Community Support: Be part of a faith community where you can receive support, encouragement, and strength from others. "Iron sharpens iron."Acknowledge Doubt: Understand that experiencing doubt doesn’t make you a “bad Christian.” God understands our struggles and wants us to bring our doubts to Him.Encouragement for the Journey:The host reminds listeners that life and faith are a journey, not a sprint. It's okay to take breaks and to ask for God's help along the way.Encourages listeners to keep moving forward, trusting in God's plan and His ability to transform their lives.

    Break Down Big Goals: Divide your big vision into 3-5 smaller, actionable steps.Seek Clarity: Write out what you understand about your goal and consult with a coach or mentor.Count the Costs for Step One: Focus on the resources needed for just the first step, rather than the entire journey.

    105. Instead of Feeling Stuck, Try These 4 Tips to Finally Grow with Christ.

    · Called and Confident for Christian Women | Destiny, Purpose, Skills, Ministry, Goals

    Introduction:- Many women feel stuck; like their relationship with God has become stagnant

    Tip 1: Get Active - Find simple ways to serve others through volunteering or helping at church, in your community, family, or workplace- Serving makes you feel closer to Christ and purposeful

    Tip 2: Find a Biblical Role Model- Look in the scriptures for someone going through a similar season- Study their life, context, struggles and how they persevered - Let their story provide wisdom for your own situation

    Tip 3: Join a Community- Don't go through this season alone, find a community of like-minded believers- Being around others who understand provides support and encouragement

    Tip 4: Study God's Character - When stuck, we may start questioning God's goodness/love- Deliberately study who God is - His nature, names, sovereignty - This builds faith that He is in control even when we don't understand

    When you sense God’s direction, act on it promptly without hesitation.

    Seek Community:

    Engage with a supportive community that shares your faith and vision to encourage and uplift each other.Final Encouragement

    Shayla reminds listeners that feeling overwhelmed by a big calling is natural. It's a high calling from God, and it requires faith, vision, productivity, and quick obedience. Trust that God has a specific plan for you and that He will bring it to completion. Keep pressing forward in faith, and remember, you are not alone on this journey.

    Scriptural Reference: Philippians 4:13 (KJV) - "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

    XOXO,

    Shayla

    Hey, I’m Shayla. Executive Pastor, Nonprofit Director and Entrepreneur. For 10+ years, I was completely stressed out.

    I now have a blueprint to identify my calling and the action steps needed to make it happen and I’m ready to share it with you!
