Hi there

So many people never step into their calling — not because they’re afraid to fail, but because they’re afraid to not know.

We want the plan. The guarantee. The proof that it’ll all work out before we move.

But faith doesn’t work like that. God doesn’t hand you a GPS. He gives you a compass — and asks you to trust Him, one step at a time.

In this episode, Holly shares her own story of chasing perfection instead of purpose — how she poured everything into YouTube, only to realize she was glorifying the grind instead of God. Through that surrender came clarity, peace, and a redirection that changed everything.

You’ll learn how to: ✨ Recognize when perfectionism is rooted in fear ✨ Stop waiting for certainty before you move ✨ Trust God’s process, even when the vision is unclear ✨ Release control so your obedience can unlock your next step

This message will speak straight to the heart of the person who’s tired of “waiting until they're ready” — and is finally ready to walk by faith, not sight.

1️⃣ God Reveals the Vision in Pieces He gives you the next step, not the full map. Like Abraham, you’re called to move before you see.

2️⃣ Perfectionism Is Fear in Disguise We tell ourselves we’re “waiting for clarity,” but what we’re really craving is certainty — and certainty doesn’t require trust.

3️⃣ Faith Requires Motion Clarity comes through movement, not before it. Every act of obedience positions you for your next instruction.

4️⃣ Your Calling Will Evolve Every pivot, delay, or redirection is part of the process. God’s not punishing you — He’s preparing you.

5️⃣ Surrender the Outcome When you stop trying to control how it unfolds, God can exceed your expectations in ways you never imagined.

• Hebrews 11:8 — “It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home… He went without knowing where he was going.”

• Proverbs 16:9 — “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.”

• Isaiah 30:21 — “Your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it.’”

Ask yourself this week: 👉 Am I chasing control, or choosing trust? You don’t need the whole picture to take the next step. You just need to say yes to what God is asking you to do today.

Have you ever been so sure God was calling you to something—until the moment you took a step, and doubt crept in? Suddenly, you’re asking, “Was that really God… or just me?”

In this episode, Holly unpacks how doubt often masquerades as responsibility, how the enemy mimics God’s tone to keep you stuck, and how to discern the real voice of God when fear sounds logical.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between divine direction and deceptive doubt

• The peace vs. pressure test for spiritual decisions

• Three ways to confirm if what you’re hearing is truly from God

• How to move in obedience even when you feel uncertain

This one’s for the woman who knows God is stirring something new—but the noise of fear keeps her standing still. If that’s you, this message will help you quiet the doubt, tune into peace, and finally move forward in faith.

• John 10:27 — “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

• Matthew 7:16 — “You will know them by their fruits.”

• Isaiah 41:10 — “Do not fear, for I am with you.”

Before your next big decision, ask yourself: 👉 “Does this bring peace or pressure?” Peace confirms His presence. Pressure means pause and pray.

Hi My Friend,

Someone told me recently, “I’m using my family as an excuse. I don’t want to live out my dreams because I’m afraid it’s going to jeopardize our lives. I’m the breadwinner, and I’m afraid I’ll lose everything.”

If that hits home, you’re not alone. In this episode, we’re talking about fear, faith, and the fine line between providing for your family and truly leading them.

We’ll unpack:

• How fear can disguise itself as responsibility

• The way your choices silently shape your family’s beliefs

• What it really means to step out in faith — even when your knees are shaking

Because here’s the truth: You can’t build a life of faith while clinging to the edge of fear. Sometimes, playing it safe is actually the most dangerous thing you can do.

Part 1: The Fear That Feels Noble Fear often sounds responsible — “I’m doing this for my family” — but it’s really comfort in disguise. If you can list every reason something won’t work, you can list every reason it will. Remember: your kids are watching how you handle fear and faith.

Part 2: God’s View on Courage “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid…” (Joshua 1:9) Faith doesn’t remove fear — it moves through it. God doesn’t need you to have it all figured out; He just asks you to trust Him enough to take the first step.

Part 3: The Leap of Faith (Tactical Steps)

1. Start with obedience, not outcome. Take one small step of faith today.

2. Reframe fear as preparation. Learn to tell the difference between discomfort and discernment.

3. Lead by example. Let your children see what living courageously looks like.

“You can’t build a life of faith while clinging to the edge of fear. Let go of the pool’s edge—and trust that God’s already in the water waiting for you.”

• Stop letting fear masquerade as responsibility

• Model courageous faith for your family

• Finally take that leap God’s been nudging you toward

• Joshua 1:9 – “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
