Ep 139 // Chasing the Wrong Dream? How to Discern God’s True Call for You with Online Business Coach Stefanie Gass
What happens when everything you’ve built crumbles, your identity feels lost, and God asks you to surrender the very things you’ve clung to for success? In this episode, I sit down with Stefanie Gass—Christian business and podcast coach, mom of two boys, and seven-figure CEO—who shares her powerful journey from chasing worldly success in network marketing to radically aligning her life and business with God’s call.
You’ll hear how God spoke to her in a dream with the words “Start a podcast,” how she learned to recognize her “discernment alarms,” and how surrendering idols like alcohol and social media opened doors she never imagined. This conversation is a masterclass in letting go, tuning in to the Holy Spirit, and walking in bold obedience—even when you don’t know the outcome.
Key Takeaways:
- 🌱 Discernment alarms—how to recognize unrest in your spirit as God’s nudge to pivot.
- 🕊️ The role of surrender and prayer in uncovering your true calling.
- 🔑 Why social media can become an idol—and how stepping away can create space for God’s direction.
- 🎧 The story behind Stefanie’s God-given podcast dream and how obedience led to exponential growth.
- 🙌 Kingdom ROI vs. worldly ROI: why God’s results look different (and better).
Quotable Quotes:
“Earthly success is fleeting. It’s built on nothing—and it can be gone in an instant.”
“Your discernment alarms are the Holy Spirit saying, enough. Will you listen?”
“You only live one time. Borrow God’s confidence and take the shot.”
Reflection Questions:
- What “discernment alarms” have been going off in your life lately?
- Are there any areas where you may be rationalizing an idol rather than surrendering it?
- What small, obedient step could you take today to make space for God’s direction?
