Becoming the Hero: Saying Yes to the Call | Wholehearted Identity #3 · The Wholehearted Enneagram Podcast

0:00
SPEAKER_00: I did not feel ready.
0:02
SPEAKER_00: And I certainly didn't feel qualified.
0:04
SPEAKER_00: The questions running through my head sounded a lot like doubt dressed up as logic.
0:10
SPEAKER_00: Can I really do this?
0:11
SPEAKER_00: And what business do I have stepping into this space?
0:14
SPEAKER_00: Is this even the right path?
0:17
SPEAKER_00: It's probably just a silly idea that I'll abandon in a few months.
0:22
SPEAKER_00: It was May of 2016.
0:24
SPEAKER_00: I had flown to Dallas with my mother-in-law for a women's business conference.
0:29
SPEAKER_00: My mother-in-law had written a book years earlier, and I wanted to support her as she considered how to revive her message.
0:36
SPEAKER_00: I was there to learn more about growing my Norwes business.
0:39
SPEAKER_00: That was the plan.
0:42
SPEAKER_00: But what happened in that conference room?
0:44
SPEAKER_00: Well, it actually changed everything.
0:48
SPEAKER_00: I sat there listening to Christy Wright, Amy Porterfield, Annie F.
0:52
SPEAKER_00: Downs, and Lisa Turker share their stories, and something was stirring deep in my soul.
1:00
SPEAKER_00: Page after page, I filled my notebook in, not with Norwick strategy, but with whispers of a new vision.
1:10
SPEAKER_00: An idea was being formed.
1:12
SPEAKER_00: A seed got planted.
1:15
SPEAKER_00: I certainly didn't have a name for it then, but what would eventually become simply wholehearted was born that weekend.
1:25
SPEAKER_00: It really made no sense.
1:27
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I was homeschooling three kids.
1:29
SPEAKER_00: I lived in a city still with no nearby family support.
1:34
SPEAKER_00: I needed to keep working and contributing financially.
1:37
SPEAKER_00: In Norwich, well, honestly, it was a business that was doing well.
1:41
SPEAKER_00: It was scratching an itch.
1:43
SPEAKER_00: I had connection, leadership, income.
1:46
SPEAKER_00: But this vision I got that weekend, it felt like a deeper invitation, almost a call to rise, to create something of my own, and something that would absolutely require faith, risk, obedience, and way more courage than I felt like I had.
2:06
SPEAKER_00: But that, my friend, was a hero moment.
2:10
SPEAKER_00: Not because I knew what I was doing, not because I had a five-year plan, that is for certain.
2:17
SPEAKER_00: But because I said yes to a call that felt bigger than me.
2:22
SPEAKER_00: And ultimately, I had a mustard seed of trust that God would lead.
2:29
SPEAKER_00: That one step of faith has turned into almost nine years of doing what I get to do now: coaching women, hosting retreats, writing, speaking, launching tools and resources that help others live from their wholehearted identity in Christ.
2:46
SPEAKER_00: And maybe today, friend, it's your moment.
2:50
SPEAKER_00: Maybe you're standing at the edge of something uncertain, or maybe you've just taken a few steps, but fear is telling you to turn back.
2:58
SPEAKER_00: Well, this episode is for you.
3:02
SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Simply Wholehearted Podcast with Amy Wicks, your wholehearted life and business coach.
3:10
SPEAKER_00: You should know this podcast will inspire you to grow in self-awareness, be passionate about your faith, and get clear on your calling.
3:18
SPEAKER_00: If you are new here, then welcome to a community of multi-passionate women who love to go deep on topics like faith, Enneagram, relationships, leadership, and community.
3:31
SPEAKER_00: This conversation might provide the step you need to make the change you desire.
3:36
SPEAKER_00: So let's get started.
3:43
SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to the Wholehearted Identity series where I'm going to help you flip the script on the old stories you've been living and rediscover who you truly are in Christ.
3:54
SPEAKER_00: Now, in the first two episodes, I shared about the victim and then the villain, the roles you have played at some point in your life.
4:02
SPEAKER_00: They're definitely roles I've played.
4:04
SPEAKER_00: And today I get to talk about something way more uplifting and happy, and that is the role of the hero.
4:14
SPEAKER_00: So, what does it really mean to be the hero of your story?
4:19
SPEAKER_00: I'm not talking about capes and superpowers.
4:22
SPEAKER_00: I am talking about courage, about showing up.
4:25
SPEAKER_00: Not because you feel ready, but because you know you're called.
4:31
SPEAKER_00: The hero is the one who says yes, even when they're scared, who keeps walking even when the road is unclear and feels uncertain.
4:40
SPEAKER_00: And the hero is someone who doesn't wait until everything is perfect, but who chooses to move forward in faith.
4:50
SPEAKER_00: And here's what I've learned after coaching women for almost a decade, or really for several decades.
4:56
SPEAKER_00: The hero moment doesn't feel like a movie climax.
5:01
SPEAKER_00: It's often simply just making the phone call, submitting an application, booking the session, saying the hard thing with kindness, or carving out five minutes to pray when everything in you wants to just numb out, eat some good food, and binge on Netflix.
5:22
SPEAKER_00: In every great story and every gospel center journey, the hero isn't fearless.
5:29
SPEAKER_00: They're just brave because they choose to trust.
5:32
SPEAKER_00: They become brave because they decide to trust, and they don't wait for perfect clarity.
5:37
SPEAKER_00: They follow the voice of the one who called them and they take the next faithful step.
5:43
SPEAKER_00: You've probably heard me say this before, but it's worth repeating.
5:47
SPEAKER_00: Courage doesn't mean you're not afraid.
5:49
SPEAKER_00: It means you choose what's greater than your fear.
5:52
SPEAKER_00: So if you feel the nudge to begin something new, if you're standing at the edge of transition, a conversation, a God-sized dream, and everything in you wants to turn around or stay small, take a breath.
6:07
SPEAKER_00: You're not behind, you're not unqualified, you're exactly where you're supposed to be, and you're not walking alone.
6:16
SPEAKER_00: One of my clients that I had the delight to work with shared with me that she had spent most of her motherhood doing all the things for everyone else.
6:25
SPEAKER_00: Does this feel familiar?
6:27
SPEAKER_00: Well, she was attentive, supportive, and was always present, or at least physically present.
6:33
SPEAKER_00: But as her kids grew into their teenage years, they often spent more time with their friends than with her or the family, and she just eventually was finding herself checking out emotionally and sensed some resentment was simmering beneath the surface.
6:49
SPEAKER_00: She wasn't willing to say that she was angry, and people probably wouldn't see her as angry, but it did start showing up in subtle ways.
6:58
SPEAKER_00: She would avoid hard conversations, she was choosing to numb out with books and shows.
7:03
SPEAKER_00: She procrastinated, basically, just didn't take action when she felt the littlest bit of overwhelm or resistance.
7:11
SPEAKER_00: Eventually, anger was taking more of a center stage.
7:16
SPEAKER_00: It was coming through in her conversations and her reactions.
7:20
SPEAKER_00: And so when her youngest son said, Mom, it doesn't feel like you care anymore.
7:26
SPEAKER_00: It woke her up.
7:29
SPEAKER_00: It stopped her cold.
7:32
SPEAKER_00: That moment was what she would say was her wake-up call.
7:35
SPEAKER_00: Of course, in her coaching journey, she did realize that this numbing and procrastination wasn't really about being lazy or not wanting to try.
7:45
SPEAKER_00: She was just feeling stuck emotionally.
7:49
SPEAKER_00: The anger and the lack of care for her soul over the years had led her to a place where she didn't have clarity and she was lacking connection.
7:58
SPEAKER_00: She also evaluated in our times together that she had made the mistake of silencing her voice for a long time.
8:06
SPEAKER_00: She had convinced herself it really didn't matter.
8:09
SPEAKER_00: But here's the heroic part.
8:11
SPEAKER_00: She had her wake-up call, right?
8:13
SPEAKER_00: She could have ignored it, she could have argued back, she could have gotten angrier, but instead she did the brave thing.
8:20
SPEAKER_00: She started naming her anger.
8:22
SPEAKER_00: She walked in self-awareness instead of self-deception.
8:27
SPEAKER_00: She took these broken moments to the Lord.
8:30
SPEAKER_00: She repented, she repaired with her kids, and that freed her up to begin setting goals that better aligned with her values, things that she wanted to do, and ways that she could insert her value and voice.
8:44
SPEAKER_00: She continued to have honest conversations with God that created supernatural transformation.
8:49
SPEAKER_00: And little by little, through our work together, I saw her reclaim her presence, her purpose, and her joy.
8:56
SPEAKER_00: And she would say the same.
8:58
SPEAKER_00: And she really did become the hero of her own story.
9:01
SPEAKER_00: And not all at once, but step by faithful step.
9:07
SPEAKER_00: Now, here's the thing most people don't talk about.
9:10
SPEAKER_00: Stepping into the hero role doesn't suddenly make life easier.
9:15
SPEAKER_00: It just makes things clearer.
9:18
SPEAKER_00: And sometimes that clarity is a little bit uncomfortable.
9:22
SPEAKER_00: Because every hero, every woman who chooses to live from her wholehearted identity will face resistance.
9:30
SPEAKER_00: And not just from the world around her, but within.
9:34
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it sounds like doubt.
9:36
SPEAKER_00: What if I fail?
9:37
SPEAKER_00: What if this isn't the right time?
9:40
SPEAKER_00: What if I'm too much?
9:41
SPEAKER_00: Or I don't have enough knowledge?
9:44
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it shows up as fear dressed up like wisdom.
9:49
SPEAKER_00: Like when I told myself, I just need some more experience first.
9:52
SPEAKER_00: Or this isn't the season.
9:54
SPEAKER_00: I'm too busy.
9:55
SPEAKER_00: I don't have time.
9:57
SPEAKER_00: Or maybe someone else is already doing this better than I ever could.
10:03
SPEAKER_00: And other times the resistance sounds a lot like shame.
10:08
SPEAKER_00: The inner critic that says, Who do you think you are?
10:11
SPEAKER_00: You've already messed up too much.
10:13
SPEAKER_00: You should be further along by now.
10:16
SPEAKER_00: All right, does this all sound familiar?
10:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
10:19
SPEAKER_00: If you listened to last episode, some of these are a little bit like that inner villain of voice.
10:26
SPEAKER_00: Maybe for you, the obstacle is simply overwhelm.
10:30
SPEAKER_00: Your kids need a lot from you.
10:31
SPEAKER_00: The job you already have drains you.
10:34
SPEAKER_00: You just don't have any sort of specific clarity.
10:37
SPEAKER_00: You know you lack confidence and you don't have the community to help.
10:42
SPEAKER_00: But can I tell you something that I really wish I had heard back in 2016 at that business conference when all of these dreams were happening and I was stepping out in faith?
10:52
SPEAKER_00: Well, obstacles don't disqualify you, they prepare you.
10:59
SPEAKER_00: Yes, my friend.
11:01
SPEAKER_00: The obstacles, the presence of fear, it's not the real problem.
11:06
SPEAKER_00: The real danger is not letting faith write your story.
11:12
SPEAKER_00: So you're standing at the edge of something new and your knees are knocking, you're terrified.
11:18
SPEAKER_00: Good.
11:19
SPEAKER_00: That means you're awake, you're alive, that means you're on the verge.
11:24
SPEAKER_00: And the invitation isn't to be fearless, it's just to be faithful.
11:30
SPEAKER_00: Okay, if all of this is stirring something in you, if that dream is coming to mind, that hope that you've maybe let go of, I want you to pause this episode for a second.
11:40
SPEAKER_00: Please come back.
11:41
SPEAKER_00: I want you to finish it.
11:42
SPEAKER_00: There's more to say, especially about Enneagram, but maybe take a minute to jot that down.
11:49
SPEAKER_00: Say a quick prayer.
11:50
SPEAKER_00: Don't lose the moment.
11:52
SPEAKER_00: Again, if something's stirring in you, take a moment to pause.
11:56
SPEAKER_00: And if it's not, keep listening.
11:59
SPEAKER_00: And then ponder what your hero moment has been and could be here in the future.
12:06
SPEAKER_00: Okay, now is the time to bring in one of my favorite tools, the Enneagram.
12:12
SPEAKER_00: Yes, of course.
12:13
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to show you how each type has a unique way of stepping into the hero role.
12:18
SPEAKER_00: Of course, right?
12:20
SPEAKER_00: Because the hero doesn't look the same for everyone.
12:23
SPEAKER_00: It's really not a one-size-fits-all bravery.
12:26
SPEAKER_00: What is brave for me is not necessarily brave for you.
12:29
SPEAKER_00: And what's brave for you, well, it doesn't always look like bravery for me.
12:34
SPEAKER_00: I want you to own your journey.
12:36
SPEAKER_00: I want you to face your fear and become more you, not less.
12:41
SPEAKER_00: You have a very unique way that you're invited to rise.
12:45
SPEAKER_00: And when you do, not only do you change, the people around you get to rise too.
12:51
SPEAKER_00: Oh, friend, that makes it so worth it.
12:54
SPEAKER_00: So as I walk through these, I hope it feels like a holy nudge, maybe even a whisper from the Lord saying, this is your moment.
13:04
SPEAKER_00: Today I'm going to start with the type six because you are vigilant and faithful.
13:10
SPEAKER_00: You want to be prepared.
13:12
SPEAKER_00: But the hero path invites you to take a step without seeing the whole staircase.
13:17
SPEAKER_00: Eek, I know, but remember this truth: God is your safety.
13:21
SPEAKER_00: He is your anger.
13:23
SPEAKER_00: The hero voice says, I don't need every answer to take the next step.
13:30
SPEAKER_00: My type 7 friend, you are full of life and hope, but your hero story begins when you choose to stay, even when it's hard.
13:41
SPEAKER_00: God meets you in the staying, not the escape.
13:46
SPEAKER_00: The hero voice says, I won't run from pain, I will let it grow me.
13:51
SPEAKER_00: I won't run from hardship.
13:53
SPEAKER_00: I can face it with the Lord.
14:04
SPEAKER_00: But your hero power multiplies when you lead with both strength and softness.
14:10
SPEAKER_00: Remember, vulnerability isn't weakness, it is truly holy ground and a holy gift.
14:17
SPEAKER_00: The hero voice says, I can protect without overpowering.
14:21
SPEAKER_00: I can be safe and tender.
14:26
SPEAKER_00: Enneagram 9, friend, you bring harmony wherever you go.
14:30
SPEAKER_00: But your hero journey starts when you step forward and let your voice be heard.
14:35
SPEAKER_00: Your presence matters.
14:37
SPEAKER_00: Your voice is so needed.
14:40
SPEAKER_00: The hero voice says, I will not fade into the background.
14:44
SPEAKER_00: I was made to show up.
14:48
SPEAKER_00: Enneagram one, your hero work is learning that you don't have to carry the weight of the world or the weight of perfection.
14:57
SPEAKER_00: God delights in your integrity, not your performance.
15:02
SPEAKER_00: Your hero moment says, I don't have to get it all right.
15:05
SPEAKER_00: I just have to show up with grace.
15:11
SPEAKER_00: My Enneagram to you friend, you've always shown up for others, but your hero path begins when you believe your needs matter too.
15:19
SPEAKER_00: You are not loved for what you give, you are loved because you belong to him.
15:25
SPEAKER_00: The hero voice in you says it is safe to receive, and saying no can be sacred.
15:34
SPEAKER_00: Enneagram 3, you are wired to accomplish.
15:37
SPEAKER_00: You get things done, and that's good.
15:40
SPEAKER_00: But your hero moment comes when you choose presence over performance.
15:45
SPEAKER_00: You are loved, not for what you do, but for who you are in Christ.
15:50
SPEAKER_00: The hero voice says, I can stop striving.
15:53
SPEAKER_00: I am enough because he is enough.
15:58
SPEAKER_00: Enneagram 4 friend, you feel things so deeply, and your emotions are truly part of your beauty.
16:05
SPEAKER_00: Your hero moment begins when you let your feelings lead you to movement.
16:11
SPEAKER_00: You are not your wounds.
16:13
SPEAKER_00: You are God's masterpiece.
16:15
SPEAKER_00: The hero voice says, I can move forward and still be beautifully, uniquely me.
16:25
SPEAKER_00: In agram 5, you are observant, wise, and thoughtful.
16:30
SPEAKER_00: Your hero moment is when you step out from behind the curtain and offer what you already know.
16:37
SPEAKER_00: You have so much value to give and offer, and God will equip you as you continue to step out.
16:45
SPEAKER_00: The hero voice says, even if I don't feel ready, I can still show up and give.
17:08
SPEAKER_00: So, what kind of hero are you becoming?
17:12
SPEAKER_00: And now that we've talked about the hero's journey and the unique path each Integram type can walk, I want to invite you into another moment of reflection.
17:21
SPEAKER_00: Again, I want you to hear my heart on this.
17:24
SPEAKER_00: The whole point of not only the hero, not only the character journey, but really the wholehearted journey, it's not about performance.
17:33
SPEAKER_00: It's not about hustle.
17:34
SPEAKER_00: It's about self-awareness, tuning in, asking your soul what it already knows, and being brave enough to listen to God's still voice.
17:49
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I'd like for you to ask yourself these three questions.
17:54
SPEAKER_00: The first one is where in my life am I being invited to rise?
17:59
SPEAKER_00: Is it something in my neighborhood?
18:02
SPEAKER_00: Is it at my kids' school?
18:04
SPEAKER_00: Is it at work?
18:06
SPEAKER_00: My church?
18:07
SPEAKER_00: Is it in my spiritual life?
18:09
SPEAKER_00: Is it in my home?
18:13
SPEAKER_00: Second, what am I resisting?
18:17
SPEAKER_00: Not because I can't, but because I'm afraid.
18:23
SPEAKER_00: Think about those fears, those real honest ones.
18:27
SPEAKER_00: Take a moment to name them.
18:30
SPEAKER_00: And then if you're brave enough, write them down.
18:34
SPEAKER_00: Looking at it in black and white, it can bring about true freedom and transformation.
18:40
SPEAKER_00: Because when we name it and then we see it, we can tell it the truth.
18:48
SPEAKER_00: Third, what's one next faithful step that I can take this week, no matter how small?
18:55
SPEAKER_00: Is it making the phone call?
18:57
SPEAKER_00: Is it scheduling the session?
18:59
SPEAKER_00: Is it applying for that job or promotion?
19:02
SPEAKER_00: Is it apologizing?
19:04
SPEAKER_00: Is it repairing?
19:07
SPEAKER_00: Is it taking a little bit more time to be with your people instead of finishing other tasks?
19:16
SPEAKER_00: The answers to these three questions could be so many different things.
19:21
SPEAKER_00: It's going to be unique to you and your hero moment that you're going to have right now.
19:26
SPEAKER_00: You don't have to map it all out because, friend, you're going to have many hero moments over the years.
19:31
SPEAKER_00: This is just the first of many.
19:33
SPEAKER_00: And probably if you take time to reflect, you will remember that you've had this before and it will give you the strength to do it again.
19:40
SPEAKER_00: Just take one step and let God meet you there.
19:45
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I hope that you've sensed God stirring something in your heart.
19:49
SPEAKER_00: A shift, a step, a yes that feels too big to carry alone.
19:54
SPEAKER_00: So I want you to remember all of the scripture you have ever learned about courage.
20:00
SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of them.
20:01
SPEAKER_00: I know the one passage in Joshua comes to mind, right?
20:05
SPEAKER_00: Well, I also want to read this beautiful scripture.
20:10
SPEAKER_00: Because us as women, I think we can or we want to identify with Esther that we read about in the Bible.
20:16
SPEAKER_00: So I'm just going to speak to you what Mordecai asked Esther and a very pivotal hero moment, and it can be found in Esther 414.
20:26
SPEAKER_00: And who knows, but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this.
20:33
SPEAKER_00: Friend, you really don't need a throne to change the world.
20:36
SPEAKER_00: You just need the courage to say yes right where you are.
20:40
SPEAKER_00: Now, because I've had a lot of fun incorporating some breath prayer into these episodes, I'm going to do that now.
20:49
SPEAKER_00: So take a moment, relax your grip, slow your gait, or pause from what you're doing and breathe with me.
21:00
SPEAKER_00: Inhale.
21:04
SPEAKER_00: I choose courage over comfort.
21:08
SPEAKER_00: Exhale.
21:12
SPEAKER_00: Because you go before me.
21:17
SPEAKER_00: Inhale.
21:21
SPEAKER_00: I don't have to have it all figured out.
21:25
SPEAKER_00: Exhale.
21:28
SPEAKER_00: I trust you to lead me.
21:33
SPEAKER_00: All right, friend, I invite you to let these words become a prayer anytime fear is trying to steal your movement.
21:42
SPEAKER_00: Again, you're not going to be fearless.
21:44
SPEAKER_00: You're not going to be suddenly filled with worry free momentum.
21:49
SPEAKER_00: You have to step out in faith.
21:51
SPEAKER_00: Your hero story is already unfolding, I'm sure of it.
21:55
SPEAKER_00: And remember to continue one wholehearted step at a time.
22:00
SPEAKER_00: And before I close, I want to tell you something I've seen over and over again, not just in my personal story, but in the dozens of women I've had the honor of coaching over the years.
22:13
SPEAKER_00: Almost every woman who says yes to the hero work, up to showing up, setting boundaries, finding her voice, rediscovering her God-given identity, they hit a setback.
22:24
SPEAKER_00: And sometimes it's incredibly disappointing.
22:27
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it's devastating and disorienting.
22:32
SPEAKER_00: But here's what separates the woman who just survives from the woman who heals.
22:38
SPEAKER_00: She keeps showing up.
22:40
SPEAKER_00: She keeps giving those broken pieces to the Lord.
22:44
SPEAKER_00: And he heals them.
22:48
SPEAKER_00: I do think of a lot of clients who came into coaching with hope, only to have the wind knocked out of them partway.
22:55
SPEAKER_00: But instead of retreating or giving up, they did dig a little deeper.
23:00
SPEAKER_00: They journaled, they prayed, they looked specifically about how their Enneagram type might be showing up in these moments.
23:08
SPEAKER_00: And they had courageous conversations that we prepared for together.
23:12
SPEAKER_00: And they chose healing, not because it was easy, but because it was their holy hero moment.
23:19
SPEAKER_00: Those moments don't always feel grand or dramatic, right?
23:22
SPEAKER_00: As they tell them back to you, they do now.
23:25
SPEAKER_00: But most of the time they're just a quiet, sacred courage that says, I'm ready and I'm ready to rise.
23:32
SPEAKER_00: And maybe that's what you're ready for, too.
23:36
SPEAKER_00: So, friend, I hope you see yourself in that hero role.
23:41
SPEAKER_00: Not polished and perfect and ready for the movie poster kind, though I wouldn't mind that six-pack that a lot of those heroes have, right?
23:48
SPEAKER_00: But perhaps you're just standing at the beginning of your journey.
23:52
SPEAKER_00: Or maybe you're listening and you're like, shoot, I am in the messy middle.
23:56
SPEAKER_00: I'm feeling those obstacles, the resistance, the fears creeping back in.
24:00
SPEAKER_00: You're going, I don't know.
24:02
SPEAKER_00: I am so weary.
24:03
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if it's worth it.
24:05
SPEAKER_00: But I want you to hear this from me.
24:07
SPEAKER_00: It really is worth it.
24:09
SPEAKER_00: Every small act of obedience, every time you choose presence over hiding, every time you speak truth, set a boundary, or take the risk that aligns with your identity in Christ, you are living your hero story.
24:22
SPEAKER_00: Again, it's not because you're without fear.
24:25
SPEAKER_00: It's just because you are being faithful.
24:28
SPEAKER_00: And that faithfulness is forming something deeper in you that you could ever imagine or do on your own.
24:36
SPEAKER_00: Okay, and maybe as you're listening, you're sensing a call, the nudge to take action.
24:42
SPEAKER_00: Again, to rise like a hero and to move from awareness into purpose.
24:46
SPEAKER_00: And that is why you might need a coach.
24:49
SPEAKER_00: That is what coaching is for.
24:53
SPEAKER_00: My delight and job is to help you name what matters, clear what's in the way, and walk in alignment with who God created you to be.
25:02
SPEAKER_00: So if that's you, let's have that clarity call.
25:06
SPEAKER_00: It's a no-pressure call, it's just possibility and exploring together what is your next right step.
25:14
SPEAKER_00: May you feel the courage to rise, even in the quiet.
25:18
SPEAKER_00: May you believe that your voice matters, and may you remember your small, faithful steps of obedience are never wasted in the kingdom of God.
25:27
SPEAKER_00: Next week, this series comes to an end with one final rule: the guide.
25:33
SPEAKER_00: Because when we've lived the story, we get to help others live it too.
25:38
SPEAKER_00: This is the heartbeat of Simply Wholehearted.
25:41
SPEAKER_00: We're all broken, we're all blowing it.
25:43
SPEAKER_00: But the brave one, she does something about it.
