You want something. Maybe you've carried it quietly for years. Maybe you've talked yourself out of it more times than you can count. Somewhere along the way, you started measuring that desire against a long list of questions: Is this selfish? Am I grateful enough? Shouldn't I just be content with what I already have?

Jordan Raynor is back on the show to help you tell the difference between a God-given desire and a distraction, understand why so many faith-filled women stay stuck in overthinking instead of moving forward, and see what it looks like to pursue a goal without losing sight of God. Listen in and discover that the dreams on your heart were never something to apologize for. They may have been part of His invitation all along.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

The backyard-and-fence analogy that finally answers "how do I know if this goal is God's will" (and why God's silence might be His yes)Why striving isn't the enemy of faith, and how to tell the difference between striving because you want something and striving because you need itThe three-step exercise for interrogating your real motives so mixed motives stop keeping you on the fenceHow to measure your goals the way Jesus did (upward and backward before forward) so comparison stops crushing youWhy "garbage goals" make you want to quit by mid-quarter, and the one shift that keeps you movingWhat it looks like to hold your goal sacred while you stay free to change the plan for getting there
