Wilson, joining us to talk about her new book, Little Strength, Big God. Debbie shares her incredible journey of faith and discovering a God greater than her Goliaths.She opens up about her tendency to obsess over problems and her never-ending to-do list, often feeling the weight of having to fix and do everything. But she reminds us all of an important truth – God does not expect us to carry the burdens alone.Drawing from Jesus's teachings, Debbie emphasizes the importance of maintaining perspective in our relationship with God. When we find ourselves emotionally uptight and not enjoying our fellowship with Him, we have lost sight of God's size.One powerful concept that Debbie shares is the idea of being yoked to Jesus. As we work alongside Him, He carries the heavier burden, granting us rest in our souls. With this perspective, it is clear that our job is to simply trust and work with God rather than relying solely on our own strength and abilities.Patricia also reflects on her writing career and the challenges she faced as English being her second language. Feeling inadequate and unworthy, she witnessed God do incredible things despite her weaknesses. She encourages us all that even with little strength, we serve a mighty God.In this interview, Debbie shares her insights on topics such as the fear of God, overcoming injustice and ill treatment, and the power of obedience in cultivating a strong and vibrant faith.Join us on this captivating journey as we discover together how to embrace the God-sized stories in our own lives.

Do you ever feel like you don't have enough faith to do what God asks you to do? Or that God isn't big enough to help you? If you answered yes to either question, you're not alone. Even Abraham and Noah also struggled when God gave them instructions!   We need to remember that it's not about having faith in ourselves. God isn't interested in the amount of faith we have when we start, but it is the faith we place in God that matters. Faith in ourselves doesn't impress the Lord.   Throughout scripture, God commends people who obeyed Him despite their lack of faith. We start our race, and as we obey, our faith in God grows.   Read the full shows notes of Connie's conversation with Debbie W.

None of us were born with a fear of failure. But over time, as we learn and grow and live imperfectly, we begin to attach labels to our journeys and mishaps. We call them failures, and over time, we may determine we are as well. Our faulty processing will greatly hinder our progress, growth, and effectiveness, if we let it. Fear of failure often stems from a very dangerous focus: Making much of ourselves and little of God. But Scripture tells us life—and growth—comes when we die to ourselves so that Christ can live in and through us.

Why is it important to measure success based on obedience rather than results? 5. How might “dying to ourselves” give us the courage to obey and embrace new opportunities?
