Summary

How often do we let excuses keep us from stepping into what God has called us to do? In this episode, Emma Mae McDaniel unpacks how excuses—whether from fear, insecurity, or doubt—can hold us back from living the life God designed for us. Drawing from the story of Moses, she highlights how God’s response to our excuses is never about our qualifications but always about who He is. Through biblical truth and powerful encouragement, Emma challenges us to shift our focus from our limitations to the limitless power of God. When we truly believe that He is with us, fear bows, and we walk in bold obedience. This episode is your reminder to trust Him, surrender your excuses, and step forward in faith!
