Episode 4: The Cost of the Call, Overcoming Shame, and Redefining Success in Ministry with Rev. Julie Lovi

In this deeply vulnerable episode of My Story For His Glory, Ev. Priscillah Wafula welcomes back Rev. Julie Lovi to discuss the realities of ministry that few people talk about.

Ministry is not always a walk in the park; it is a costly affair, often marked by painful transitions, misunderstandings, and seasons of profound shaking. Rev. Julie candidly shares her personal journey of navigating a difficult exit after serving faithfully in a church for over ten years. She opens up about the sting of false narratives, the heavy weight of shame, and how the enemy attempts to use these painful moments to silence our callings.

Together, Ev. Priscillah Wafula and Rev. Julie Lovi explore

• The Anatomy of Shame: How to recognize when shame is trying to derail your destiny and why you must not allow it to keep you in hiding.
• Letting God Be Your Defender: The spiritual discipline of remaining silent and honoring God even when you have the platform to defend yourself.
• The Blessing of the 'Holding Place': Finding healing and realignment in the quiet seasons between assignments.
• Redefining Success: Shifting our perspective from the validation of men, numbers, and physical accomplishments to valuing obedience and seeing others through the eyes of faith.
• Forgiveness as a Weapon: The power of not taking offenses personally and learning to pray for those who hurt you.

If you have ever experienced a painful exit, felt disqualified by shame, or are struggling to trust God in a season of "starting over," this episode is for you. Tune in to be encouraged, fortified, and reminded that God is the ultimate Redeemer.

Pursuing intimacy with God. Living purpose. Impacting lives.
