149. How to Know If a Desire Is From God or Just From You

Have you ever felt a strong desire in your heart… but immediately questioned it? Is this from God? Or is this just me? For many thoughtful Christian women, this question creates a cycle of overthinking, hesitation, and waiting for perfect clarity before moving forward. In this episode, Christian life coach Renee Booe explores one of the most common fears women face when discerning their calling: What if I get this wrong? If you love God, want to honor Him with your life, and feel a pull toward something more—but aren't sure whether that desire is truly from God—this conversation will bring clarity and encouragement. As someone who studies both faith and neuroscience, Renee explains why our brains often try to eliminate uncertainty before we act—and why that approach can keep us stuck. You'll learn: • Why many Christian women distrust their desires • The difference between discernment and overthinking • How God often reveals calling through participation, not certainty • A simple filter to help you evaluate whether a desire aligns with God's design for your life • How to begin moving forward with faith, courage, and wisdom If you've ever wrestled with the tension between faithfulness and stepping into something bigger, this episode will help you understand how to discern your next step. Because calling rarely unfolds through perfect clarity. It unfolds as we walk with God one step at a time.
