Which do you struggle with most: starting on a dream or staying faithful through the messy middle?

My guest this week is Rachel Baker an author, a pastor’s wife and director of women’s ministries in her local church. Along her journey she has questioned her lack of training, doubted her calling, and has been tempted to give up before reaching the finish line.

IF YOU’VE HAD TROUBLE STARTING OR GOTTEN STUCK IN THE MESSY MIDDLE, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU.

Like many of us, Rachel went through a season of not knowing where to begin. In a beautiful turn of events (and through a conversation with her husband), she realized that the starting line was just outside her own door.

In this final interview of Season Nine, Rachel and I talk about:

God’s rebuke when Rachel doubts her calling,
What to do if you’re prone to great ideas but you face discouragement in the messy middle, and
What it looks like to fight for your identity in Christ.
