I’m Lashay Johnson, and this is your place for truth, healing, and becoming… again. We are continuing our series Coming Out of Hiding, and today’s conversation is “How to Stop Minimizing Your Gifts.”So many women carry powerful gifts from God—but quietly downplay them.You may say things like:“It’s nothing.”“I’m just helping.”“It’s not that important.”But the truth is, minimizing your gifts often comes from deeper places—fear of visibility, fear of responsibility, or comparison. When you’ve spent years shrinking or staying behind the scenes, stepping fully into your calling can feel uncomfortable.In this episode, we talk about why we minimize what God has placed inside of us and how to begin honoring those gifts with courage and humility. You’ll also be invited into a time of reflection to consider where you may be playing small and how your natural abilities may actually be the very tools God designed to impact others.Your gifts are not random.They are intentional.And when you minimize them, you minimize the impact God designed them to have.This episode closes with a prayer asking God for boldness to walk fully in the gifts He has placed inside of you.If this episode blesses you, stay connected.
