## About This Episode

Have you ever felt like God said yes, but you are still living in the "not quite"?

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.
