How to Stop Letting Fear Hold You Back from God’s Calling – Episode 574

In this episode, I’m sharing a short teaching I recently gave while speaking in England about how to move from self-consciousness to true God-confidence. If you’ve ever felt unqualified, afraid, or like you’re not good enough for what God has called you to do, this episode is for you. I walk through the powerful shift that helped me go from being the shy girl who couldn’t even pray out loud in a small group to confidently speaking and ministering around the world.

We look at the story of Moses, why insecurity actually reveals misplaced confidence, and how trusting God instead of ourselves frees us to step into our calling. My prayer is that this episode encourages you to stop letting fear hold you back and instead say yes to what God is asking you to do.

Move from Self-Consciousness to God-Confidence

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful mindset shift that will help you move from paralyzing self-consciousness to the kind of God-confidence that allows you to step into what He’s calling you to do.

✦ The Real Source of True Confidence
Confidence doesn’t come from looking at yourself—it comes from looking at God. When your focus shifts from your abilities to His power, fear loses its grip.
✦ What Moses Teaches Us About Insecurity
Moses felt unqualified and insecure about speaking, yet God still chose him. His story reminds us that God’s plans are never limited by our perceived weaknesses.
✦ Self-Consciousness Is Confidence in the Wrong Place
When we obsess over our shortcomings, we’re placing confidence in ourselves instead of trusting God’s ability to work through us.
✦ Why God Uses Imperfect People
God’s plan isn’t reserved for the most qualified—it’s for those willing to say yes. Our weaknesses often create the space for His power to show up.
✦ Trust Requires Action Before the Feeling Comes
Real trust isn’t just belief—it’s stepping out in obedience even when you still feel nervous or unprepared.

Walk in God-Confidence This Week: Practical Takeaways

✦ Shift your focus away from your own limitations and toward God’s power and ability to work through you.
✦ When self-doubt shows up, remind yourself that God equips the people He calls.
✦ Take action in obedience even if you don’t feel confident yet.
✦ When you hear the voice saying “I can’t,” remember God’s response: “But I can.”
✦ Speak truth out loud when insecurity appears: “My confidence is in You, Lord, not in me.”
✦ Step into the opportunities God puts in front of you even when you feel unprepared.

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.’”
