#Chat with Lena: Purpose Over Fear.

May 2500:30:34Tap to summarize

Send us Fan MailNew episode of Love&BLoved Platform! #Chat with Lena: Purpose Over Fear.In this episode, I reflect on Moses’ calling in Exodus 4 and how many people struggle with doubt about their ability, voice, or readiness. I explore how fear, hesitation, and insecurity can block purpose, and how peace and clarity grow when we shift our focus, as described in Philippians 4:4–9. I also invite you to consider what you may be called to, what might be holding you back, and I hope it will help you to develop steadiness and peace in your life. On today’s episode, I am sharing:1.Many people hesitate to step into their calling because fear and self-doubt feel louder than purpose.2.Lasting peace develops when the mind is trained to focus on truth instead of worry.3.Real change begins when a person chooses action rather than waiting to feel ready.Glorify App (Christian Meditation & Prayer App)App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/glorify-daily-worship/id1490579192Bible Passage: Exodus 4 (Key Section + Reference)Read full chapter:https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+4&version=NIVCore moment discussed (Exodus 4:10–12, NIV):“Moses said to the Lord, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord.
