Update Episode Part 2: You Are Qualified-Showing Up Authentically In The Midst of It All

Have you ever felt disqualified? Like you know, there's something God has placed inside of you, but you keep talking yourself out of stepping into it? In this raw and transparent episode, Jarkeshia gets real about the moments she's questioned her calling: battling feelings of being a hypocrite, grieving the loss of her husband, and wondering if she's even the right person to show up. The message is clear: you don't have to be perfect, polished, or fully healed to be used.

This Is Your Moment — Move Now

Feeling stuck or hesitant to take your next step? This episode of ChOP is your holy nudge to move forward. If God is stirring something in you, this is the reminder that delayed obedience is still disobedience — and now is the time. 💛 Episode Summary In this powerful and time-sensitive word, the host invites listeners to confront what they’ve been putting off — the dream, the decision, the healing. This isn’t about hustle or pressure — it’s about holy urgency. When God says move, we don’t need every detail, we just need to trust the direction. This episode is especially for the woman who has been waiting for the “right moment” to obey. It's a reminder that delayed steps often cost more than we're willing to pay — and God is too faithful to leave you stuck. 🔑 Key Takeaways Obedience rarely comes with a perfect plan — just a faithful next step. Sometimes clarity comes after movement, not before. Delaying what God told you to do won’t make it easier — it just adds weight. Bold obedience activates divine alignment. If He said it, He’s already made a way. 🙏🏾 ChOP Reflection Question What has God been prompting you to do — and what would it look like to move in faith today instead of waiting for perfect conditions?
