Summary

Have you ever looked around and wondered, Is this really it? Or is God calling me to something more? In this episode, Meredith Brock, Kaley Olson, and Nicki Koziarz share how a trip to El Salvador with Compassion International unexpectedly shifted their perspective on calling and obedience and what it really means to live a life of purpose. You’ll hear the powerful story of one woman whose quiet but courageous “yes” to God created a ripple effect — transforming her family, her community, and even the hearts of our team. If you’re feeling unsure about your next step, worn out from waiting, or afraid your impact doesn’t matter, this conversation will remind you: You don’t have to know the outcome to walk in obedience. Sometimes the most world-changing thing you can do is simply show up and say yes.

You’ll learn:

  • How to identify “holy discomfort” and what it reveals about the core of your calling. 
  • How to move forward with confidence even when the first step seems unclear. 
  • Why God may lead you into uncomfortable places to share His light.
  • What power one small “yes” has to make an eternal impact.
