You may be wondering, “Mary, what exactly does it mean to step up into your message?” Well, it all comes down to the call that God has placed on your life. Maybe that makes you nervous. Maybe you don’t feel confident enough to stand up and talk about what God is doing in your life. And you know what? That’s okay because your confidence comes from your calling, not yourself.

Ready to learn more about stepping into your message and serving others? In this encore of my favorite episodes from 2022, we explore what holds you back from stepping up and speaking. This is one y’all won’t want to miss!

Highlights from this episode include:

• Stepping up and speaking (1:41)

• What is holding you back? (4:37)

I hope this episode got you thinking about the transformation you’re going to bring to your audience with your message. After you sit with God and ask Him what transformation your message should bring to your audience, I want you to join the Take the Stage Facebook group or send me a DM on Instagram and tell me about it!
