In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, it's just me, talking about that in-between place where you are waiting, wondering if you are ready, and questioning if you are qualified. I share part of my own story: I thought my path was set in birth work, and then God called me into ministry, writing, and speaking. It came through small steps of obedience, a lot of uncertainty, and more than a few setbacks. Looking back, I can see how each of those moments built growth in faith, even when the next step felt unclear. In this conversation: - How small steps of obedience build real faith one decision at a time - Scripture that steadies your heart when you feel weak or unqualified - Why God meets us in surrender, not perfection If you are in a yes-but-not-quite season and want prayer, reach out at https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact. ## 📝 Related Blogs 4 blog articles inspired by this episode [ ![Featured image for Small Steps of Faith Can Build Big Kingdom Impact in Everyday Life](https://res.cloudinary.com/guidedsteps/image/upload/w_640,h_640,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto/v1784921246/perspectivesintopractice/blog/small-steps-of-faith-can-build-big-kingdom-impact-in-everyday-life-1784921246552.jpg) Blog article ## Small Steps of Faith Can Build Big Kingdom Impact in Everyday Life Small steps of faith shape real impact in everyday life.
