The Trouble Jesus Means: Reclaiming Faith, Identity & Purpose with Constance Hastings

When your soul is stretched between faith, family, and career — and you wonder if you can truly live all three without losing yourself — this episode speaks into your deepest tension.I sit with Constance Hastings — a former outsider, lit-lover, counselor, and minister — as she helps us wrestle with the Jesus we think we know and the Jesus we need. She confronts what it means to say “Yes” to Christ when trusting Him feels risky, and invites us into a faith full of questions, raw transformation, and purpose.You’ll hear:How your past doubts or distance from the church can become a surprising pathway to deeper intimacyWhy the Jesus you “handled in the pew” might not be the Jesus who can heal your wearinessWhat it means to lean not on your own understanding — when your career, motherhood, and call collideA posture for surrender when God’s calling seems terrifying or unclearIf you’ve ever felt torn between being “good enough” in your roles and longing for deeper meaning — this one’s for you.If this conversation stirred something in you — subscribe to She Leads Boldly, leave a review wherever you listen, and share this episode with a sister who’s questioning her next step.
