Help My Unbelief: The Hidden Faith Gap That's Keeping You Stuck

The Risk of Walking By Faith

Should I go this way or that way? I know I heard God — and then things went south. Today we're talking faith and risk: what happens when you obey God and the road gets rough anyway. I'm unpacking the real story behind quitting my teaching job — hearing God say "one more year," signing that contract, and then walking into a season that hit like a crater, not a thud. I'll get into why faith takes risk, but faith itself isn't the risk. Why God honors what you stand on even when what you see says otherwise. And how to take a fact (I'm sick, I'm short on money) and throw some truth on it — His word — until the truth outweighs the fact. If you're standing at a fork right now, wondering if you heard God right, this one's for you. Even if you take a wrong turn, the steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord — He's got the detour covered.

Stuck on Repeat: The Real Reason You're Going in Circles

If your life feels like it's on repeat, this episode breaks down the two real reasons why — and it's not bad luck. Vision (or the lack of it) and unfinished obedience keep you circling the same season. We talk about what vision actually is, why writing it down matters (Habakkuk 2:2), how to test opportunities against it, and how to tell a God-thought from your own thoughts in your journal time. If you're ready to stop spinning and start moving, this one's for you.

When Your Gift Gets You In The Room

You're gifted — and you probably don't even realize it, because it comes as naturally to you as breathing. Today we're talking about finding your gifts and why they matter more than you think. Your gifts aren't yours to hoard. They're yours to steward. And using them the way God intended doesn't just bring fruit to your life — it reaches the very people your gifts were meant for. So let's get practical. What do you actually do well? Not halfway — but good enough that people ask you for it, or ask your advice on it. David was a skilled musician before he ever set foot in a palace. His gift got him in the room (1 Samuel 16:16). What came next — the anointing, the giant, the throne — was calling. But the gift is what opened the door. In this episode, you'll learn how to: * Take inventory of what comes naturally to you (even if it's not "tangible") * Narrow your list down to the ONE thing to focus on right now * Understand the difference between your gift and your calling * Ask the right people the right question to spot what you can't see in yourself Grab the free resource [https://jaleesacox.myflodesk.com/rediscover]mentioned in this episode, Rediscover Your Dream [https://jaleesacox.myflodesk.com/rediscover], to help you get started uncovering what's already inside you.

Help My Unbelief: The Hidden Faith Gap That's Keeping You Stuck

You're praying. You're fasting. You're believing. And still… nothing. Before you assume you're doing something wrong, can we talk about the one thing that might actually be holding back your breakthrough? It's not that you don't believe God can. Deep down, you know He can. The real question — the one your heart is whispering even when your mouth says the right scriptures — is will He? Will He do it for you? In this episode of Called & Confident, Jaleesa gets honest about the faith gap she discovered when she sat at the foot of her bed asking God where she missed it. His answer? Unbelief. Not the obvious kind — the sneaky kind that sounds like the serpent in the garden, quietly questioning whether God's promises actually apply to you. She shares exactly what she did to start breaking through — from Andrew Wommack teachings to scripture-building with key passages like Mark 9:23-24, Isaiah 41:10, and Hebrews 4:16 — and why this shift changed something internally before anything changed externally. If you've been quoting Philippians 4:19 while your heart quietly says "but will He?" — this episode is for you.

2 Reasons You're Frustrated- Stop Ignoring It

That low-key antsy, going-through-the-motions feeling? It's not a problem to fix — it's a signal to follow. In this episode, Jaleesa breaks down two reasons why you're frustrated and what God might actually be saying through it. Whether you're a mom who set her gifts aside when the babies came, or a 9-to-5 sista who knows deep down there's more — that restlessness isn't random. Your gift is knocking, and it's time to answer. You'll walk away knowing: * Why frustration is one of the clearest indicators of your calling * How to start stewarding your gift right where you are (hint: it doesn't have to become a business) * Why the fact that "everybody's doing it" is not a reason to sit down — it's a reason to show up differently If this episode hit home, leave a review on Apple Podcasts and share it with a frustrated bestie who needs to hear this.
