Permission to Pause with Pat Layton
Join Author and Speaker, Pat Layton for a few minutes of hush in the middle of your hustle.
As a busy wife, mom, grandmother and international ministry leader, Pat understands how easy it is to get wrapped up in the messy of the day-to-day and miss the part that matters most. Our faith. Our rest. Our hope.
Let's protect a quiet pause to acknowledge and enjoy the presence of the very one who holds it all together.
This is a 10-15 minute devotional style podcast for women who love Jesus but struggle to find time to get away with Him.

Permission to Pause with Pat Layton
Episode 111: PAUSE TO DEFY IMPOSTER SYNDROME
Our divine assignments are not about never feeling afraid. They’re about choosing faith over fear—obedience over hesitation—even when your knees are shaking.
Like Esther, you don’t need a perfect résumé, a flawless past, or a detailed plan.
You just need the willingness to say YES to God.
So pause and ask yourself:
“Where in my life is God calling me to step up, even though I feel unqualified?”
Your Esther moment might not look like standing before a king. It might look like:
- Starting or joining that ministry that sets your soul on fire.
- Writing the book that’s been on your heart.
- Launching that faith-fueled business.
- Or having that difficult, but necessary, conversation.
Whatever it is, remember—you are here, right now, for such a time as this.
Don’t let imposter syndrome keep you small or silent. Like Esther, step forward in faith—and watch what God will do.
