Summary
If you’re building for applause, you’ll quit the moment it gets quiet and uncomfortable. Real leaders aren’t built in the highlight reels — they’re forged in the moments when obedience to purpose feels unpopular.
In this episode, we’ll talk about what it really looks like to step into leadership as a faith-led woman, even when it costs you approval. I’ll show you:
Why purpose will always offend people committed to staying the same
How to stop shrinking your message to make others comfortable
What the Bible shows us about unpopular obedience (think: Noah building the ark before there was rain)
Real-world stories of women who chose calling over clapping — and changed industries because of it
This is the reminder you need: Popularity won’t sustain you. Purpose will.
