Courage: Step Boldly in Faith with Karen Laos

from Lioness Women: Rooted in Christ · host Jen Porter

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Jen Porter sits down with her dear friend Karen Laos for a soul-stirring conversation about courage, confidence, and identity in Christ—and what it really takes for women to use their voices in high-stakes moments.Karen, a keynote speaker, executive advisor, and TEDx coach, shares formative stories from her life that shaped her relationship with courage—from negotiating at a flea market as a child, to freezing in a corporate boardroom, to summoning the bravery to ask boldly for what God placed on her heart. With vulnerability and wisdom, she reveals how self-doubt often disguises itself as politeness, over-accommodation, or “not wanting to bother anyone”—especially for women.Together, Jen and Karen explore how faith transforms courage: not as a personality trait, but as a decision rooted in obedience and trust. They unpack Joshua 1:9, the tension between waiting for confidence and choosing commitment, and why God calls us to obedience—not outcomes. Karen shares a moving vision of being surrounded not by critics or expectations, but by God Himself—a reminder that courage flows from knowing who stands with us.This episode is filled with practical wisdom, sacred storytelling, and gentle challenges for women who feel called to speak up, step forward, and lead—whether in the boardroom, at home, or in their calling. If you’ve ever struggled to trust your voice, ask boldly, or take the next brave step God is inviting you into, this conversation will meet you right where you are.✨ Be strong and courageous. The Lord your God is with you. ✨Find Karen:https://karenlaos.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenlaos/Her book "Trust Your Own Voice"  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2KNN9PKConnect with Jen:https://www.jenportercoach.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenportercoach/
