When Your Calling Doesn't Match Your Life

from Called and Confident: Discover Your Gifts, Walk in Purpose and Move Forward · host Jaleesa Cox

I found my calling on my childhood bedroom floor — and honestly, I was the least likely person to walk it out. God definitely has jokes.In this episode of my new series Wake Up the Dream, I’m sharing the moment God opened my eyes to what I was called to do, even when my life, mindset, and circumstances didn’t line up with the calling He revealed. If you’ve ever felt like God is calling you to something bigger than your current season, this conversation is for you.We’re talking about what it looks like when your calling doesn’t match your life yet — when the vision feels clear, but you feel unqualified, unprepared, or stuck in a season that looks nothing like the promise. Using the story of Gideon in Judges 6, we unpack how God speaks to your potential, not just your present, and how He calls things into existence before you ever feel ready.If you’ve been having your own “Gideon moment” — questioning whether God could really be talking to you — this episode will remind you that God qualifies those He calls and walks with you as you grow into who He’s created you to be.This episode kicks off the Wake Up the Dream series, created for Christian women who know there’s more on their life but aren’t quite sure what it looks like yet. We’re diving into God-given purpose, calling, identity, and learning how to steward the gifts God placed inside of you — even while you’re still becoming.✨ Want to go deeper? Join the Called and Confident Collective, a community to recharge your identity, reclaim your purpose, and walk boldly in your God-given calling. If you’re ready to wake up the dream God placed in you and begin walking it out with faith and clarity, you’re in the right place.Talk to me- [email protected]
