What if the only thing standing between you and the life God has called you to is one simple word: yes?
So many Christian women feel unseen, overlooked, or too small to make a difference. But your yes to God matters. It doesn't have to be big. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be obedient.
In this episode of Strong. Confident. His., I'm sharing stories, scriptures, and lessons that reveal how God multiplies even the smallest acts of faith into something greater than we could ever imagine. Whether you're looking for encouragement, biblical motivation, or a Christ-centered health and fitness plan, this message will remind you that the world doesn't write your story—God does.
Inside this Episode:
-
The story of the little boy and the starfish—and why it matters for your calling.
-
How God turned my rejection into a bestselling book (and what it means for your story).
-
Key scriptures to remind you who's really writing your life (hint: not the critics).
-
A powerful excerpt from The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino.
-
Four truths that will give you courage to say yes to God today.
Key Takeaways for Christian Women
-
Your yes changes everything. Even if it touches just one life, it matters to Him.
-
Rejection isn't the end of your story. God is still writing, even in the pauses.
-
Faith is obedience, not perfection. Step out scared, but step out with Him.
-
Do the one thing God is calling you to do. Like the starfish, He will multiply your obedience beyond what you can see.
Scriptures from This Episode
-
Psalm 138:3 — "In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul."

-
Proverbs 16:9 — "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps."

-

-
