In this episode of Faithfully Empowered, Lisa gets real about what it’s like to take that scary first step into the unknown—and why it’s always worth it when you’re walking with God. Whether you're stepping into a new season, sharing your creative gifts, or simply trying something you've never done before (like camping!), this episode will encourage you to trust the One who's already gone ahead of you.

With Scripture, humor, and a muddy hiking story you won’t forget, Lisa reminds you that:

• You don’t need to feel ready to say yes

• God equips those He calls

• And the path may be messy—but it’s marked

📖 Scriptures in this episode:

• John 16:33

• 1 Peter 4:10

• 1 Thessalonians 5:24

• Psalm 23

• Romans 11:29

What happens when your greatest heartbreak becomes a doorway for God’s provision? In this powerful conversation, Michele Batz shares how her son Cory’s legacy lives on through Cory’s Project—a nonprofit born from love, grief, and an unwavering faith. From navigating unimaginable loss to seeing God provide in the most unexpected ways, Michele’s story is a raw, hope-filled reminder that even in the wildest storms, we are never alone.

Join me as we talk about purpose through pain, finding God in grief, and the beautiful ways He brings life from loss.
