Send us Fan MailFor link to next Live The Calling Activation Study click here.hree years ago, I asked God one simple question:"Can I really do this?"Looking back, I realize I was asking the wrong question.God wasn't deciding whether I was qualified. He was preparing me to carry the calling He had already placed inside me.In this episode of Stuck No More Voices, I share the journey God has been taking me on through healing, identity, and discovering that visibility isn't simply about marketing or building a platform. It's about becoming the woman who can faithfully carry the message He's entrusted to you.If you've ever wondered why your business feels slow… If you've questioned whether your story really matters… Or if you've struggled to connect your life experiences to your calling…This episode is for you.You'll discover:✔️ Why God often develops the woman before He expands the platform. ✔️ How your story becomes the bridge that connects you with the people you're called to serve. ✔️ Why your message has been unfolding throughout your entire life. ✔️ How hidden seasons often become the foundation for lasting influence. ✔️ Practical encouragement to step into greater visibility with confidence and authenticity.Your story isn't a detour from your calling.It may be one of the clearest demonstrations of God's faithfulness—and the very message your ideal audience is waiting to hear.If this episode encouraged you, subscribe to the channel, leave a review, and share it with another Christian woman who needs this reminder today.Register for free by clicking here: The Calling Activation Study; Discover the Story That Connects Your Calling to the People You're Meant to Serve.Home TheresaCroft.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/theresacroftFacebook: https://Facebook.com/theresamcroftYouTube: https://YouTube.com/@theresacroftMore Podcast Episodes on Apple and Spotify

Send us Fan MailTo join our next live seminar click here.As a kid, I loved being on a stage. I had no idea God was already calling me. He was. And He placed something in you too, long before you had words for it.In this episode I talk from my heart, right after our first Calling Activation seminar. I share three things. Your calling came first, set in you by God before any credential. Your story is how that calling reaches the woman who needs it. And story based visibility is how you show up as yourself, without overthinking, and draw the right people to you.I also share what I watched happen in that room. As each woman unpacked her story, something lit up in her. The hard years started to make sense. God was not absent in any of it. He was writing a story, and bringing healing, so it could now reach someone else.Your pain was never the end. It was the start of your message.Want to find your story with me?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Mystic Millionaire, I sit down with author, spiritual teacher, and podcast host Jaclyn Shaw for a conversation that will move you to your core. Jaclyn opens up about the raw journey behind her spiritual memoir Spiritual Smackdown, from being blindsided by infidelity while three months pregnant, to choosing to honor the quiet truth of her soul over the noise of her circumstances. We go deep into what it truly means to trust yourself when everything around you is falling apart, how forgiveness became a choice rather than something earned, and why speaking your truth is the ultimate act of liberation. We get into her unapologetic relationship with God and how following soul nudges led her to walk away from half a million dollar contracts in full faith. This episode is raw, real, and deeply spiritual and I trust it will land exactly where it needs to. If you are ready to stop giving your power away and finally live in the full truth of who you are, this one is for you.Follow Jaclyn Shaw here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.jaclynshaw/ Website: https://jaclynshaw.ca/Check her book, Spiritual Smackdown, hereAmazon Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1998721213Amazon USA: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1998721213Slow down to speed up.

So why does it still feel like you are posting into silence?In this episode, Theresa walks you through the I in the EVOICE Method™. The Influence Platform.Influence is not a follower count. It is a fingerprint. It is the moment a woman lands on your page and knows in three seconds who you are, who you serve, and what you stand for.You will hear why influence is built on consistency of voice, not volume of content. You will learn the four layers of a platform that actually carries your authority. Your published voice. Your social presence. Your warm room.

Send me a textFaith, Obedience, and Taking Responsibility as a Christian Woman in BusinessMany Christian women entrepreneurs say they're “trusting God” in business—but what they're really doing is waiting, hiding, or avoiding the responsibility that obedience requires.In this episode, we unpack why faith is not passivity, how discernment is often confused with delay, and why so many faith-led business owners feel stuck even though they feel called.This conversation is especially for Christian women in business, faith-led entrepreneurs, and women building online businesses who love God—but feel stalled, inconsistent, or unclear on next steps.Inside this episode, you'll learn:The difference between faith vs passivity in businessWhy “waiting on God” can become a spiritualized form of procrastinationHow fear of rejection, visibility, and responsibility keeps Christian women entrepreneurs stuckWhat obedience actually looks like in business: action, stewardship, and strategyWhy discernment is a filter, not a delay tactic3 simple shifts to move from passive faith to active obedienceYou'll also hear a personal story of praying for growth and provision while avoiding visibility, outreach, and responsibility—and the moment of realization that nothing moved until ownership was taken.This episode speaks directly to women navigating:Faith and business alignmentChristian entrepreneurshipFear of visibility and sellingInconsistent content and stalled momentumStewardship, calling, and obedience in businessIf you've been asking God for clarity, clients, income, or confirmation—this episode may reveal why the next step isn't more prayer, but movement.

Have you ever looked successful on paper… yet felt like something was quietly off behind the scenes? Like you were winning the game, but not really winning at life? That's exactly the tension we unpack in this episode and trust me, it goes way deeper than money or business tactics.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Ben Wilson for a real, grounded, no-BS conversation about wealth, legacy, faith, and what it actually means to live a life that feels aligned. Ben is the Owner and Broker of Team Wilson Real Estate Partners and one of the most intentional humans I know. His team owns and manages over $300 million in real estate assets and has surpassed $1 billion in total sales, but what really stood out to me from the moment we met wasn't the numbers. It was how he shows up as a husband, father, leader, and man of faith. This episode matters because Ben doesn't just talk about success; he lives it in a way that doesn't sacrifice family, integrity, or joy along the way.We dive into how pain, not ambition, was the catalyst that led Ben into real estate and ultimately reshaped his entire approach to life. One of the biggest takeaways is the idea that you can be “winning” financially and still be losing if you don't understand the rules of the game you're playing. Ben breaks down a powerful framework using the baseball diamond to explain why character has to come first, community second, and contribution third, and how reversing that order creates chaos, stress, and burnout.Another huge lesson from this conversation is Ben's seven non-negotiables for life and leadership. Simple on the surface, but profound in practice: show up, be consistent, have a great attitude, commit for the long haul, live with faith and passion, be willing to pay the price, and always do the next right thing. These aren't motivational quotes. They're daily filters Ben uses to guide his family, his businesses, and his decisions.We also talk deeply about legacy not as something you leave someday, but something you live right now. Ben shares why he believes true wealth is about building enough resources to create harmony across mind, body, and spirit, so you can ultimately give it all away. And maybe my favorite part of the episode? The reminder that fun isn't optional. It's strategic. Focus, fearlessness, and freedom aren't just nice ideas.

Do you feel stuck — circling the same mountain of ideas, waiting for clarity, and never gaining momentum? I've been there too. The turning point for me came when I committed to a challenge. What happened next completely changed my YouTube channel, my business, and even the way I think about creating content. In this episode, I'm sharing: My story of posting daily for 21 days (and what it taught me). The surprising ways challenges bring clarity about what you want to talk about and who you're serving. How consistency sparks creativity and helps you come up with fresh ideas. Why challenges create return + binge viewers (and why YouTube LOVES that). How challenges send the right signals to the algorithm so your YouTube channel grows faster. The role faith played for me in staying consistent, even when I wanted to quit. If you've been waiting for the “perfect time” to start, this episode will show you why momentum comes after you take the first step.

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?
