S2 E3 - From Feeling Unqualified to Being Called: Hosting My First Bible Study

Have you ever felt completely unqualified for something God was calling you to do? Me too, mama. In this episode, I’m sharing how I went from feeling totally unworthy and insecure to hosting my very first Bible study—the first one I’ve ever attended myself! Crazy, right? Together, we’ll dive into the truth that God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. I’ll share how I wrestled with doubt and fear, but how trusting God and leaning into His promises gave me the courage to say yes. We’ll explore the stories of Moses, Gideon, and the 12 disciples, and how God reassured them with one simple but powerful promise: “I will be with you.” Plus, I’ll break down how scriptures like Hebrews 13:20-21, 2 Corinthians 3:5-6, and Romans 8:30 reveal that it’s God who equips us to fulfill His purpose. And we’ll wrap up with Philippians 4:13 as a reminder that no matter what He calls us to do, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. If you’ve been feeling hesitant or unsure about stepping into a calling, this episode will inspire you to trust God and take bold action. You don’t have to have all the answers—you just need to say yes. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: * Why feeling unqualified is a normal part of stepping into God’s calling. * How God reassures us through scripture, even when we feel inadequate. * Lessons from Moses, Gideon, and the 12 disciples about stepping into bold faith. * How hosting my first Bible study deepened my relationship with God. * Practical encouragement for mamas who feel unworthy of their own callings. Key Scriptures Referenced: * Hebrews 13:20-21: God equips us for His will. * 2 Corinthians 3:5-6: Our competence comes from God. * Romans 8:30: God calls, justifies, and glorifies those He chooses. * Judges 6:15-16: Gideon’s doubt and God’s promise to be with him. * Philippians 4:13: We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Mama, This Episode Is For You If: * You’ve ever felt like you weren’t enough for what God is asking you to do. * You’ve wrestled with doubt, fear, or insecurity in your faith journey. * You want to grow deeper in your relationship with God and trust His plan for your life. * You need encouragement to take bold action in your faith, even when it feels scary. Call to Action: After listening, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Are you wrestling with a calling you feel unqualified for?
