Are you doing what makes you feel good, or are you doing what God actually asked you to do?

In this episode, I'm going to talk about why obedience isn’t about performance, but about surrender and daily relationship with God.

And if you’ve ever wondered why your “good” efforts still feel dry or are proving to be unfruitful, this is your reminder to connect with the Holy Spirit and ask what to do.

• Why doing good things in God’s name doesn’t mean you’re in His will
• How obedience flows from love, not fear or duty
• Nas' story and how a small act of obedience may have saved his life
• Why God won’t override His ways to accommodate our disobedience
• What it really means to live in daily communion with God

Resources Mentioned:

• Matthew 7:21–23 – I Never Knew You
• John 10:27 – My Sheep Hear My Voice

What Next:
Ask the Holy Spirit: “Is there anything You’ve told me to do that I’ve delayed or dismissed?”

Give Him time to answer and then act on it. That’s the kind of repentance that leads to answered prayers and Kingdom living.

In this episode of Confidently Called, I talk about why formulas for answered prayers often disappoint and I offer a better way... through a relationship with Christ.

I believe with my whole heart that God wants us to move away from rigid spiritual checklists and enter into a deeper connection with Him.

Key topics discussed in this episode:

• Why formulas often fail and leaves us feeling stuck
• The power of relationship over ritual
• Generous giving and how that opens us up to be able to and want to give more
• How doing anything in guilt or with obligation depletes faith
• Letting go of guilt-driven checklists

Scripture references:

• Proverbs 3:5-6 (trusting God over leaning on formulas)
• Colossians 3:16; Acts 17:28; Romans 8:14 (growing in Christlikeness through real relationship)
• Jeremiah 29:11 (God’s plans are personal and unique)

Practical Takeaways

• Focus on relationship over formulas
• Give more time to the Word and remember why we read the Bible, pray and worship - it's more than just about what we can get from God
• God isn't a copy and paste kinda God - His plans for you are unique
• Understanding what's really behind us retreating to formulas

Have you ever felt like something you're doing just no longer fits who you're actually becoming?

I've been there and in today's podcast episode, I share the reason behind changing the name from Armoured Women to Confidently Called.

• Why “Confidently Called” felt like a better fit than “Armoured Women”
• How the new name came about
• How your confidence grows as you walk in your identity, not your performance
• Why feeling uncomfortable is sometimes the Holy Spirit’s nudge to shift
• What it means to stop competing and start resting in your assignment

Identity, peace, and walking confidently in who God says you are is what the Confidently Called podcast is all about.
