n this powerful episode, Anna McLaughlin invites listeners into a guided visualization that challenges the lie that we need more training, degrees, or resources to step into our God-given purpose. Through personal testimony and Biblical wisdom, she explores how our dreams and callings are held not by the supports we think we need, but in the hands of God himself. This episode encourages believers to let go of the endless pursuit of "more" and find freedom in the truth that God has already equipped us with everything we need to be faithful right where we are.
God holds your calling—you don’t need more degrees or resources to begin.
Let go of striving; trust that God has already equipped you.
Wait for His leading instead of rushing ahead.
Accept where you are as part of His plan.
Keep an eternal perspective—your purpose is to glorify God and enjoy Him.
The Westminster Shorter Catechism: “Man’s chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.”
2 Corinthians 4:17: “Light and momentary troubles.”
Acts 26:14: “Kicking against the goads.”
