Episode 25
Published 10 months, 1 week ago
Description
I share how my dependence on business experts, advice, and strategies became an idol that left me more confused, anxious, and disconnected from God.
Episode Highlights
- The subtle shift from learning from experts to leaning on experts more than God
- How constant strategy-hopping and chasing eroded my confidence, identity, and sense of calling.
- Realizing I was asking God for wisdom but looking to other sources for the actual answers.
- Why I deleted apps, unsubscribed from newsletters, stopped striving, and spent six weeks in almost complete silence before God.
- Returning to my own story and brand with God as the Author
- How to discern when it’s no longer a learning season but a building season—and the boundaries you may need to put in place to stay focused and faithful.
