Well, we did it! All five episodes of 5 Mindsets That Keep You From Trusting God's Plan are now live, and I have been sitting here a little amazed at the road we just walked together. When we started, I shared that when a woman says she just doesn't know her purpose, she's rarely missing a strategy. She's usually carrying a quiet fear about herself that she has never said out loud. Over these five episodes, we brought five of those fears into the light, and we answered every one with a truth fr...

The last fear might be the most surprising one of all. It doesn't show up when a woman is far from her calling. It shows up the moment she gets close, when the "more" God is calling her toward seems to require a version of herself she doesn't know how to be. In this finale, Joyce names the fear of becoming and answers it with the story of Gideon, the frightened man God called a mighty hero while he was still hiding in a winepress. Drawing on her own move from the courtroom into ministry and coac...

As Joyce has shared in previous episodes in this series, the words "I just don't know my purpose" goes much deeper. There are fears underneath that statement.

In this fourth episode, Joyce names the mindset that ties your worth to your performance and answers it with the truth of God's Word. Drawing on her own story of stepping away from the benc...

Show Notes So many women carry a quiet ache that hides behind a smile while they scroll: the fear that other women were chosen for something special and they are the one God forgot. In this episode, Joyce holds that lie up to the light of who God actually is, drawing on her own story of starting over in a world where everyone else seemed already established. In This Episode Why the fear of being forgotten almost always grows in the soil of comparison God's promise that He cannot forget yo...

So many women stay frozen, not because they don’t have a plan, but because of a double fear: that they have already missed their moment and that they can’t even trust themselves to hear God clearly. In this episode, Joyce takes that fear apart, drawing on her own story of beginning a brand-new calling after more than twenty years in the law. In This Episode Why the fear that you have missed your moment can keep you frozen and afraid to move forward. What Jesus’ words in John 10 teach us a...

This is the opening episode of the series, and it takes on the first mindset that quietly keeps women from trusting God's plan: the fear that your life will not really matter. Drawing on her years as a trial attorney and judge, Joyce answers that fear with what God actually says about your worth: that it was settled long before you ever produced a single thing. In This Episode Why you can have every outward sign of a meaningful life and still lie awake afraid that it does not count. How your s...
