Choosing to Rise - Episode 5: Moving from Rising to Reflecting
This week, I’m sharing a reading from Week 3 of my devotional When You’re Ready to Begin—titled Breaking Free from Self-Doubt.
We talk about the struggle of questioning our calling, the slow journey toward confidence, and what it means to trust what God sees even when we can't see it ourselves.
I also open up about what’s next—transitioning from the season of Rising to the season of Reflecting—as I begin writing Book 2 in the series: When You’re Ready to Look Within. I’d love your feedback as I shape what comes next!
In this episode:
- Why our confidence doesn’t come from ourselves
- A personal story about self-doubt and calling
- Reflections on Week 3 of the devotional
- A gentle invitation to prepare for deeper growth
📖 Anchor Verse:
2 Corinthians 3:5 – “Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.”
✨ If you’re struggling to move forward, I hope this episode reminds you: You’re not stuck. You’re not disqualified. And you’re never walking this journey alone.
