Season 2, Ep. 15: It's when you believe in your own gifts that you begin to really prosper. It's about what comes naturally to you that typically you don't really see as a gift. At Renew Retreat last year, I had each attendee turn to each other and share what they were proud of about themselves. So many times we downplay what we do well at and I'm here to tell you - that doesn't serve anyone. In order to play full out, to bring your best to the table, your gifts need to be shared and others need to know, so that they know how to use you!
.
The Bible confirms this in Proverbs 18:16 when it shares what happens when you have gifts that you use - it says that your gifts bring you before great people. God uses other people to bless you...but without you sharing your gifts with others, how can that happen? It's your time. It's time for you to affirm your gifts and talents to use them for the Kingdom of God and this podcast episode helps you to do just that.
.
What's holding you back? Here's 2 common thoughts that women who aren't playing full out with their gifts are worried about and how to get over them:
1. My gift isn't perfect: The only way to perfect your gift is to use it. My gift is teaching, however in the beginning I resisted doing it on Instagram because I couldn't see the audience. I've been teaching for years, and always vibe off the audience. Speaking to an unknown/unseen group of people really unnerved me. But God kept pushing me to do it and the very first #10DAYPRAYANDSLAY was manifested. Fast-forward 3 years and so much has come out of that one "yes" - from the @youversion Bible app plan and even this podcast!
.
2. I'm not ready: Let me share something with you - you won't ever be ready. Everything in your life won't be perfect when you start. There will always be competing priorities, distractions and most likely, you'll have to manage more than one full-time responsibility at a time. The path won't be clear when you start - YOU clear the path as you walk. This is something that isn't unique to you - we ALL go through it! The only way to get ready is to just start.
.
Use this affirmation and podcast to advance your life, create new beliefs and know that you CAN. You absolutely are able.

PS. If this podcast blesses you, leave a rating and share it with a friend! I'm so proud that we hit #9 in Spirituality on Apple Podcasts - that means there's a need that we're meeting, and all glory and honor goes to God.
