Get ready to dive in as we uncover empowering keys and insights in this episode . So tune in and let's unlock hope together . I wanted to come on because I just want to speak to the steadfast . I want to just really encourage you and embolden you and remind you to keep going . There's many who have been given a pathway that is maybe more challenging . That is a little bit more . Maybe the slow going , slow road . Maybe you're seeing some people it's funny , steadfast ends with fast You're seeing people running past you and it looks like they're maybe succeeding . It maybe looks like they're having massive breakthrough and it's happening fast and it looks easy and they're just kind of running past you like , hey , everything's great , everything's wonderful . Do you like my singing ? But you're continuing on this path . That maybe is more challenging . Maybe there are some bumps in the road and steadfast , I think a lot of you are actually trailblazers because you continue on . You're pioneering a pathway that is maybe a slower road . It's a slower breakthrough pathway . You're helping people along the way . You're not just like on force to like force this thing through that maybe isn't in alignment with your path . You're calling your purpose uh , some of those people over there that are running really fast by you . They might have gotten really distracted by something to pull them off their pathway , but you are remaining steadfast and I want to remind you to keep going . I am with you on this pathway . There are dangling carrots all over the place on the pathway , am I right ? Am I right ? Somebody's coming up to you with a little cup going Ooh , take this thing , it'll make you run faster . Ooh , take this little bite , it'll , it'll be easier for you .
Speaker 1Um , anybody else experiencing that on on their journey ? Um , especially speaking to the entrepreneurs , speaking to the ones who are building ministries , those who are , um , building whatever it is the Lord's calling you to build , that might look really different , but you're remaining steadfast . Um , I was saying to somebody yesterday I am tenacious as all , get up and if God has called me to do something , you bet your bottom dollar . I'm going to keep on going and I'm going to bring others with me to help you stay on that pathway , to help keep you from being distracted by all the the paths that are just like the wide , open pathways where everybody's running together , running past you . But you are remaining on this narrow road and I want to just encourage you . Like I said , keep going .
Speaker 1I've been hearing from many women that I um know along the journey I I have this great privilege that a lot of women come to me with their hearts . I hold their hearts very sacred and confidential . Um , I can't tell stories about what they're going through because that's not my place , but I will say that there's a lot of women right now that I know personally , who are trailblazers , who are pioneers , who are really going through some challenging things . And you know , the enemy lie would be to just give up , just go back to that thing that you were doing before . That was easy . Go do this thing . That looks easier , you know , makes you fast money , but that's not what God is calling us to do . I know that . I know that with all my heart that there are many of us . There's many of you , if you happen to be hearing my voice . That needed to hear this today . You are not alone . You are not alone . You are keeping your eyes on him .
Speaker 1I'm going to encourage you to go read Hebrews 11 , the heroes of the faith . Your story matters , your story matters . Just wanted to come on here and encourage you before I go for my little walk . And , um , if you need some encouragement , uh , some deeper , uh , knowledge , wisdom , revelation , uh , you need somebody in your , in your corner , to help you keep going . Please reach out to me , um , I want to help you soar in your calling . It's my heart , I , it's just my heart to see women continue on that path , that the lord's calling them to . Um , because we , we're in such a time . We are in such a time , so , all right , well , that is my message for today . Keep going , you steadfast ones , and stay tenacious . Stay steadfast and I'll talk to you .
