In this powerful episode, Tola explores what it looks like to walk in obedience when God's strategy involves letting go. Drawing from the story of Gideon in Judges 7, she explains how God's instructions may not always make logical sense, but they are always rooted in divine wisdom and eternal perspective.
Gideon was prepared to go into battle with 32,000 men, but God saw something he could not. God knew the hearts of the men. He knew that 22,000 of them were fearful and would only weaken the mission. So He gave Gideon a counterintuitive strategy: reduce the numbers. Not to discourage him, but to ensure that the victory would be God's and not man’s.
This episode reminds us that fear is not a neutral companion. Partnering with fear, especially in leadership, decision-making, and vision execution, will only sabotage what God has called you to do. You may be surrounded by people, but are they the right people for your assignment? Are they walking in faith, or are they operating from fear?
Tola also shares a word of encouragement for those who have experienced painful separations or divine redirections. Perhaps God told you to walk away from a relationship, decline a partnership, or pass on a job opportunity. It may not make sense now, but trust that God is doing what He did for Gideon—shielding you from hidden dangers and positioning you for victory.
Sometimes we are tempted to press forward with our own logic. Other times, we stall out because we do not understand why God said no. But if you are in that in-between place where you know what God said, but you are struggling to implement it, you are not alone. And you do not have to figure it out by yourself.
If you are in a season of leadership where God has given you direction, but the practical implementation feels heavy, the Nurses of Faith Mastermind is your place of support. This mastermind is for nurses who know they are called to more, who are receiving divine strategy for their next steps, and who need godly support and accountability to walk it out.
Whether you are leading at the bedside, building a business, launching a ministry, or navigating a life transition, you were not meant to do it alone. The Mastermind meets twice a month and offers biblical mentorship, strategic planning, and practical wisdom rooted in the Word of God. If you are a modern-day Gideon who needs the strength and structure to follow through, this is for you.
