“What's Holding You Back From God's Calling? | Lessons From the Life of Moses” With Becky Murray, Kaley Olson, and Meredith Brock
The Proverbs 31 Ministries PodcastShow Notes
Have you ever sensed God leading you toward something, only to immediately feel unqualified, afraid, or unsure? Maybe you've wondered, Who am I to do what God is asking?
In this encouraging conversation, Becky Murray joins Meredith Brock and Kaley Olson to explore the story of Moses in Exodus 3-4 and the excuses that often keep us from stepping into God's calling. Drawing from her own journey as the founder of One by One, Becky shares how God met her fears, insecurities, and feelings of inadequacy — and how He can do the same for you. If you've been holding back because of intimidation, fear of rejection, or your own perceived weaknesses, this episode will remind you that God has never called you to rely on yourself. He's simply asking you to keep your eyes fixed on Him. You’ll learn: Why intimidation, rejection, and insecurity are some of the enemy's greatest tools to keep you from God's calling. What Moses' excuses reveal about the struggles we all face when God asks us to take a step of faith. How to stop letting your past define your present and embrace the freedom Christ has already won for you. Why God often calls ordinary, imperfect people so His strength — not theirs — gets the glory. How intimacy with God gives you the courage to keep saying "yes," even when the path feels impossible.

Have you ever walked through a season where it wasn’t necessarily one big thing — it was just one thing after another?
When life feels heavy, it can be hard to believe anything good could come from what you’re carrying. In this episode of The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast, Jennifer Rothschild joins Meredith Brock and Shae Hill for a conversation about what it looks like to face real hardship with an eternal perspective. Walking through 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Jennifer reminds us that trusting God doesn’t mean minimizing what hurts or pretending everything is fine. Instead we can acknowledge what’s hard, believe God is still working with purpose, and remember what feels permanent right now is temporary in light of eternity.
Sometimes the hardest part of trusting God isn’t believing that He has a plan ... It’s wondering whether His plan will be anything like the one we hoped for.

Listen in to discover how to trust God when you don’t have the answers and how releasing the need to know what happens next can actually create a deeper relationship with Him.
Maybe we’ve made wisdom more complicated than God intended it to be.
