High-capacity humans often hold themselves to impossible standards. This episode offers a sacred reframe — the God who called you isn't grading you. He's guiding you.You're growing, but it doesn't always look graceful. High-capacity humans tend to measure progress in outcomes — but God sees the heart.In this episode, Julie Holly invites you into a tender, grounded reflection: what if you're not failing — you're forming? Through Scripture, personal insight, and a powerful recalibration moment, you'll be reminded that God delights in your becoming.You're not behind. You're becoming.What We Cover in This Episode:• Why performance-based faith leaves high-capacity humans burned out• How God's delight differs from your inner critic• Why spiritual formation is not linear or logical• The illusion of “getting it right” in growth and leadership• Why God doesn't demand perfection — just surrender• What it means to embody grace in seasons of transition• A soul-rooted recalibration you can take into your day• Gentle encouragement for faith-driven leaders and parentsToday's Micro-Recalibration:Pause for one moment of stillness.Ask yourself:• Where have I been striving for perfection instead of trusting God's timing?• What would change if I believed He already delights in me — not because I'm perfect, but because I'm becoming?Write a short prayer, speak it out loud, or simply breathe into the truth that He's not waiting for you to get it right. He's walking with you, in love.If you lead others, consider:Where might someone on your team or in your family need grace instead of critique today?Mentioned in This Episode:• Episode 29: Trusting the Process When the Progress Is Quiet• Episode 31: The Power of Pattern Interrupts• Episode 34: When You Feel Behind — But You're Actually GrowingIf this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

You're not just growing — you're being called. This episode explores how to trust the process when it feels uncertain, lonely, or unseen — and why alignment always begins with identity.Have you ever felt the quiet nudge that you're outgrowing where you are — but questioned whether it's selfish, risky, or unrealistic to move forward?In this episode, we explore the deeply personal process of following God into unfamiliar territory — even when there's no detailed roadmap. Whether you're in a career that no longer fits, a role that feels too small, or a season that's quietly ending, this conversation invites you to trust the One who's calling you forward.Julie shares how ILR came into being without her fully realizing it, and the moments of obedience and awkwardness that led to deeper healing and alignment. We look at Abraham's obedience in Genesis 12, John Bevere's radical career pivot, and the neuroscience behind meaning-making and identity clarity.Key takeaways:Why spiritual growth often feels like loss before it feels like alignmentHow vertical alignment soothes the nervous systemWhat it means to honor calling, even when it's not convenientHow your obedience is never just for youToday's Micro-Recalibration:Ask yourself: – Where have I been slow to move because I've been waiting for permission? – What has God already asked me to do — that I haven't acted on yet? – What would shift if I trusted the Giver more than the gift?If others look to you — as a manager, parent, partner, or friend — model what it looks like to honor calling over comfort. Share the stretch. Normalize obedience.Whether you're in the messy middle or quietly sensing more — this episode reminds you: you're not behind. You're being aligned.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

In this episode of the Profitable Christian Business Podcast, host Doug Greathouse interviews entrepreneur and author Albert Pellissier, whose book "What's on Your Backburner?" challenges entrepreneurs to awaken dormant desires and confront the inner conflicts holding them back from meaningful success. Albert opens up about the intersection of faith, ambition, and laziness, and shares how God used his personal journey to help others step into their true calling. Together, Doug and Albert explore how unchecked investment bias, doom scrolling, and self-sedation habits mask our deeper purpose — and how to break free. This episode is a call to reignite what God placed in your heart long ago and to step forward with intention, clarity, and spiritual alignment.

Have you ever felt called to something big — but felt unqualified, unprepared, or even scared? In this episode of Chosen By Jesus with Kelley Tyan and Taylor Tyan, we dive deep into why God doesn't call the qualified — He qualifies the called. We share our own stories of starting scared — from teaching without experience, to launching a business with no formal training, to writing a book and stepping into ministry. If you've been waiting for perfect conditions, this is your sign to take the first step in faith. Through real-life examples and biblical encouragement, we'll show you how to trade the pain of regret for the blessing of obedience. You'll learn:   Why waiting until you “feel ready” keeps you stuck How God uses your weakness to display His power Practical ways to push past fear and take the next step What the Bible says about trusting God in uncertainty   Key Scriptures: Ecclesiastes 11:4 – Stop waiting for perfect conditions 2 Corinthians 12:9 – God's power in your weakness Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust Him with the next step Hebrews 11:8 – Faith to go without knowing the whole plan   If you've ever said, “I'll start when I feel ready” — this episode will give you the faith-fueled push to start now. ⸻ Want to go deeper?

#189 // Are you a conference "junkie" . . . attending conference after conference for the next Holy Spirit "hit?"Listen, I've been there, Sister . . .I had this belief that the big breakthrough I needed or the touch from God that was going to finally shift things could only be found during a big, Christian conference with all the lights, sounds and fanfare. I would be so expectant for that type of encounter at these events, but there was very little expectation of God encountering me in that same way in my everyday life.The truth is: breakthrough and deliverance can happen anywhere!Yes, it can happen at the altar during a conference, but it can also happen in your living room as you set your heart and soul on the desire to experience God in a new way.But why are we talking about this? Well, friend... I'm hosting a women's conference next weekend and I want to help my ambitious, sound-making, Jesus Girls (like you) to know how you can properly prepare when you decide to attend a Christian conference. It's more than just popping up and enjoying the worship and word.Here are three things I'd encourage you to do before stepping into your next conference:

Wondering if you heard God wrong about starting a business? Questioning if you're really cut out for being an entrepreneur? Why do we think that if God called us, then the path is going to be easy? This is something that I've heard a lot from clients. And this is an issue because if that's the expectation then when things get challenging, you might think you're not where God wants you to be.  What if I told you that struggles that you're facing are (likely) a good thing?  In this episode,  I want to help you reframe the hard things that come with starting a business by asking the question: What if the hard things are part of the journey to develop your character for where God is leading you?  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.    ➡️Freebie for You: Biblical Mindset Starter Guide for Entrepreneurs Stop letting emotions keep you from your calling. With this starter guide, you'll learn how mindset is affecting your business, the 5 areas where mindset blocks show up, and how to start rewiring your thoughts to reflect Biblical truth instead. This will set you on the path to being able to confidently step into your calling with a Biblical mindset. So if you're ready to stop letting worry keep you from doing what God is calling you to do, then get your free Biblical Mindset Starter Guide today. Go to www.mamawithacalling.com/mindsetguide  More resources including The Clarity Retreat Kit, coaching and more in my shop at www.mamawithacalling.com/shop Confusion To Clarity Session: Are you worried your business will never be successful? Do you lack clarity because you aren't sure where God is leading you? Are you ready to stop letting fear hold you back and step into your calling with confidence?  Then what you need is clarity. Clarity about what God is calling you to do and where He's leading you next in your business.  But how do you get clarity?  Usually, clarity is blocked by all of the mindset drama going on in our heads like fear, worry and doubt. With Biblically-rooted mindset coaching, we can identify the mindset blocks causing confusion and get clear on the next steps in your business.  If you've thought about coaching, but aren't sure if it can really help you with the breakthrough you're looking for (spoiler: it can!),  then this is for you.  To sign up for this free Confusion to Clarity session, go to https://www.mamawithacalling.com/confusiontoclarity    Book a single coaching session here: https://www.mamawithacalling.com/coaching

Let's be honest—many of us are doing all the “right” things: We're reading our Bibles. We're praying. We're serving. We're leading. And yet… we still feel disconnected from God. We wonder, Why can't I hear Him? Why does He feel so far? Is it something I'm doing wrong? In today's episode, we're gently (but boldly) reframing those questions—and offering a new perspective rooted in both neuroscience and spirit-led truth. You'll hear: Why you might not have a hearing problem—you might have a nervous system problem How trauma, stress, and high-functioning burnout impact your ability to feel safe in stillness The brain science behind why intimacy with God feels so hard when you're in survival mode Why rest and regulation are the gateways to spiritual clarity—not more religious effort How performance and pressure often mask a deep disconnection from yourself The freedom that comes when we stop hustling for God and start being with Him This conversation is for the woman who's tired of trying harder, doing more, and still feeling like she's missing something. You are not spiritually broken. You are just ready for a new rhythm—one of peace, presence, and partnership with the Holy Spirit.   DM “FREEDOM” on Instagram to learn more or continue the conversation: https://www.instagram.com/heathershriverburns   Join us at The Secret Place Retreat (June 26–28, 2025):   https://thesecretplaceretreat.com (only 5 spots open at the time of this recording)

Overcoming Self-Doubt and Strengthening Self-Belief Through Faith Many purpose-driven individuals—especially women—struggle with self-doubt. Trusting yourself and stepping into your calling can feel overwhelming without the right mindset and spiritual foundation. However, with faith and intentional practices, overcoming self-doubt becomes not only possible—it becomes transformative. Recognize the Root of Self-Doubt Overcoming self-doubt begins with understanding its root. It often takes hold during challenging seasons—when you're stuck in survival mode, simply trying to make it through the day. During these times, confidence feels distant, and dreaming big seems out of reach. Yet even in these moments, you have the power to choose faith. Lean into it. Remember, the Lord has a plan for you—even when your current season feels uncertain. His purpose is unfolding, even in the waiting. Embrace Faith as the Foundation To move forward in your purpose, faith must become your foundation. Trusting in God and believing that He has called and equipped you allows you to walk with courage, not fear. Faith shifts your focus from your limitations to God's limitless power. Joshua 1:9 reminds us, “Be strong and courageous...for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” When you embrace this truth, overcoming self-doubt becomes less about striving and more about surrendering to divine strength and guidance. Cultivate Self-Belief Through Faith Another essential step in overcoming self-doubt is rebuilding your self-belief through the lens of faith. Your fears do not define you—you are who God says you are.
