Feeling like you’ve done all the right Christian things — praying, serving, showing up at church — yet your life still doesn’t look anything like the breakthrough you’ve been praying for? Maybe God asked you to lay something down — a business, a relationship, a form of idolatry or counterfeit spirituality in your life — and now you’re in a season of waiting, wondering, Did I really hear God’s voice? Is this what obedience and surrender are supposed to feel like?

In this episode of Spirit Filled Girl Talk, we’re having a real conversation about God’s redemption and favor through obedience. We share how for us, saying yes to Jesus in the holistic health world, meant walking away from divination and idols and how that costly obedience — emotionally, relationally, and financially — became the doorway to deeper surrender, clearer purpose, and a more Christ-centered calling. This is about moving from striving to trusting God fully, from fear of the unknown to walking in faith over fear, and from people-pleasing to living for an Audience of One.

You’ll hear:

• How to discern God’s voice and walk in spiritual discernment when obedience doesn’t make sense.

• Why delayed or partial obedience keeps you from experiencing the fullness of God's favor and purpose.

• The role of repentance, humility, and discipleship in experiencing true redemption and restoration.

• What it looks like to build daily rhythms of small, faithful obediences — rooted in prayer, Scripture, and intimacy with God — that cultivate favor over time.

• How God used a season of pause, loss, and laying things down to birth a new, Spirit-filled ministry, deeper Christian sisterhood, and this very podcast.

If you’re a modern Christian woman who feels spiritually exhausted, misunderstood, or afraid of what obedience might cost, this episode will remind you that God’s love, grace, and redemption are already at work in your story. His favor isn’t reserved for the perfect — it’s poured out on the submitted.

You were created for Kingdom purpose, called to walk by faith, not by sight, and invited into Christ-centered sisterhood that points you back to your identity in Christ. Your “yes” to Jesus — no matter how small — can become the turning point of your whole story.

This isn't small talk.
