About this episode

Hey Sister!

You feel like God has something more for you as a Christian woman in this middle season, but you’re not sure how to discern His guidance.  You’re reading your Bible, praying, and exploring how to serve and use your gifts – volunteering here, looking for a ministry job over there, searching online for “how to know what God wants me to do with my life.”

In this episode I share a little bit of my own story and the ONE step you can take if you want to begin hearing God’s voice and begin living in his purpose for you TODAY – and have peace in the process.   

I pray this blesses you! 

Grace & peace,

Angie
