Each of us have some recognition of what God has called us to do in life & ministry. BUT… our recognition doesn't always instantly yield a heart of full confidence we're equipped to do what God has asked & assigned to us.

Everything about us truly winning in life and in God is on the other side of any fear that influences us to play it safe. Where we make decisions & actions seemingly protect us from being discouraged, disappointed or defeated; but really take us out of position to win. So, it's vital we develop the kind of wisdom, attitude & effort that feels the fear; but always plays to win!

Faith in God is never static or inactive—it's always energetic, even when misdirected. Worry, for example, is faith in reverse, believing that things will turn out poorly. We are called to manage our faith in a way that showcases God's faithfulness, allowing us to fully maximize our purpose and potential in Him.
