Hi there

So many people never step into their calling — not because they’re afraid to fail, but because they’re afraid to not know.

We want the plan.
The guarantee.
The proof that it’ll all work out before we move.

But faith doesn’t work like that.
God doesn’t hand you a GPS. He gives you a compass — and asks you to trust Him, one step at a time.

In this episode, Holly shares her own story of chasing perfection instead of purpose — how she poured everything into YouTube, only to realize she was glorifying the grind instead of God. Through that surrender came clarity, peace, and a redirection that changed everything.

You’ll learn how to:
✨ Recognize when perfectionism is rooted in fear
✨ Stop waiting for certainty before you move
✨ Trust God’s process, even when the vision is unclear
✨ Release control so your obedience can unlock your next step

This message will speak straight to the heart of the person who’s tired of “waiting until they're ready” — and is finally ready to walk by faith, not sight.

🕊️ Key Points

1️⃣ God Reveals the Vision in Pieces
He gives you the next step, not the full map. Like Abraham, you’re called to move before you see.

2️⃣ Perfectionism Is Fear in Disguise
We tell ourselves we’re “waiting for clarity,” but what we’re really craving is certainty — and certainty doesn’t require trust.

3️⃣ Faith Requires Motion
Clarity comes through movement, not before it. Every act of obedience positions you for your next instruction.

4️⃣ Your Calling Will Evolve
Every pivot, delay, or redirection is part of the process. God’s not punishing you — He’s preparing you.

5️⃣ Surrender the Outcome
When you stop trying to control how it unfolds, God can exceed your expectations in ways you never imagined.

✝️ Scriptures Mentioned
  • Hebrews 11:8 — “It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home… He went without knowing where he was going.”

  • Proverbs 16:9 — “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.”

  • Isaiah 30:21 — “Your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it.’”

💬 Listener Challenge

Ask yourself this week:
👉 Am I chasing control, or choosing trust?
You don’t need the whole picture to take the next step. You just need to say yes to what God is asking you to do today.
