MADE FOR MORE PODCAST with Miranda Leigh Stull

How do you know when it’s God’s voice?In a world full of opinions, distractions, and noise, learning to recognize the voice of God can feel overwhelming. In this episode of Made for More, we’re talking about biblical discernment - how God speaks, how He confirms His direction, and how we can grow in confidence without living in fear of “getting it wrong.”Together we’ll explore four biblical ways God leads His people, the difference between conviction and condemnation, why God’s voice never contradicts His Word, and how peace can guide us even when obedience requires courage.

Episode 14: Why Is It Hard If God Called Me Here?Have you ever stepped out in faith, said yes to God, and then found yourself wondering why everything suddenly feels harder?In this episode of Made for More, we’re talking about the part of the journey that isn’t discussed enough - the process that comes after obedience. The resistance, the stretching, the wilderness seasons, the pruning, and the moments that make us question whether we heard God correctly in the first place.Together, we’ll unpack the difference between punishment and preparation, why God often develops our character before He expands our calling, and how some of the most difficult seasons in Scripture were actually the places where God was preparing people for what came next.If you’ve been feeling discouraged, frustrated, or confused by the challenges you’re facing, this episode will remind you that resistance doesn’t always mean you’re off track. Sometimes it’s evidence that God is growing you, strengthening you, and preparing you for the very thing you’ve been praying for.In This Episode:Why obedience can feel harder than expectedThe difference between punishment and preparationWhat wilderness seasons are really producing in usHow God uses pruning to create greater fruitWhy discomfort doesn’t automatically mean you’re out of God’s willLearning to trust God’s process when you can’t yet see the outcome

Have you ever felt God calling you into something more, but fear, doubt, insecurity, or the need to have everything figured out keeps holding you back?In this episode of Made for More, we’re talking about the difference between waiting until you feel ready and choosing to be obedient. So often we ask God for the entire roadmap, while He’s simply asking us to trust Him with the next step.After walking through peace, freedom, purpose, and healing together, this conversation is about moving forward in faith and learning how to walk confidently into the calling God has placed on your life. We’ll unpack why God doesn’t require perfection, why obedience matters more than having all the answers, and how some of the most impactful people in Scripture simply said “yes” before they felt qualified.If you’ve been sensing God stirring something inside of you, this episode will encourage you to stop shrinking back, stop waiting for the perfect moment, and trust that if God called you, He will equip you.Scripture Focus: Proverbs 3:5-6, Ephesians 2:10In This Episode:The difference between readiness and obedienceWhy fear often shows up before breakthroughHow God prepares us before He positions usLetting go of perfection and embracing faithPractical steps to begin walking in your calling today

Because sometimes the obstacle isn’t in front of us - t’s the story we’ve been believing about ourselves.Together, we’ll explore what Scripture says about taking our thoughts captive, releasing what hinders us, and allowing God to heal the places we’ve been carrying for years.

Who am I becoming? What has God placed inside of me?
