In this week's Holy Girl Summer episode, we laid the foundation for understanding spiritual gifts—what they are, why God gives them, and how they help us become all that He created us to be.

Together, we explored key passages we'll be studying throughout this series: 📖 Romans 12:4-8 📖 1 Corinthians 12 📖 Ephesians 4

One thing we discovered is that spiritual gifts aren't given for our benefit alone. They are given to build up the Body of Christ, serve others, and bring glory to God.

I also shared a challenge for the next 9 weeks:

Spend 5 minutes a day in prayer.

Not out of religious obligation. Not to check a box. But to draw near to God, hear His voice, and become more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Many of us are trying to navigate life exhausted, overwhelmed, burnt out, and disconnected. But what if part of the reason is that we've been trying to operate outside of the identity God has given us?

You don't know what you don't know.

And perhaps the reason you've felt stuck is because you've been striving to be someone God never called you to be, while neglecting the unique gifts He placed inside of you.

Discovering your spiritual gifts helps you:

✨ Grow closer to God ✨ Understand your unique value ✨ Stop comparing yourself to others ✨ Gain clarity on your calling ✨ Serve with greater confidence ✨ Make a greater contribution in your home, church, workplace, and community

Because at the end of the day, the question isn't: "Do I have spiritual gifts?"

The question is: "Am I using the gifts God has already given me?"

When a woman begins to steward those gifts well, she often experiences a new level of purpose, confidence, and joy in her journey to becoming.This summer, let's stop striving to be someone else and start discovering who God created us to be

Scripture Referenced: Romans 12 (v4-8), 1 Corinthians 12 (v4-11), Ephesians 4 (v11-12)

Welcome to Holy Girl Summer! ☀️🌿

We're kicking off this powerful new series with a conversation that every Christian woman needs to hear.

In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I'm joined by Renee Booe, Certified Biblical Brain-Based Life Coach, as we dive into the connection between your spiritual gifts, purpose, and God-given calling.

Many of us know we're called for more, yet we find ourselves shrinking back, doubting our gifts, questioning our abilities, or hiding behind fear. Renee shares why this happens, how limiting beliefs and old narratives can keep us stuck, and why spiritual gifts are often directly connected to the purpose God has placed on our lives.

Renee also vulnerably shares lessons from her own recent season of growth and expansion in business, revealing how growth has a way of exposing areas where fear still exists. Together, we discuss what it looks like to move through those fears as a high-achieving Christian woman who desires to fully steward what God has entrusted to her.

✨ In this episode, you'll learn:

• How to identify and embrace your spiritual gifts
• Why fear often increases when God is expanding your territory
• Common reasons women shrink back from their calling
• How limiting beliefs impact your confidence and obedience
• Practical ways to renew your mind and create new thought patterns
• How biblical truth and brain science work together to support transformation
• What it looks like to confidently walk in your God-given purpose

If you've ever felt called to more but found yourself battling self-doubt, fear, comparison, or imposter syndrome, this episode will encourage you to stop hiding and start partnering with God in a deeper way.

This conversation is packed with wisdom, practical tools, and powerful reminders that the gifts God placed inside of you were never meant to stay hidden.

🎧 Tune in and join us as we kick off Holy Girl Summer by discovering how God uniquely created you to serve, lead, and impact the world around you.
