Episode Synopsis

Have you ever felt like God is calling you to something that seems meant for someone else—someone more qualified, more confident, or just "more everything"? In this powerful episode, Karen Papin explores the universal struggle of self-doubt and how to overcome the thoughts that keep us from stepping into our divine calling.Drawing from inspiring examples in the scriptures like Moses, Moroni, Esther, and Mary, Karen shows how even the most faithful people in scripture wrestled with feelings of inadequacy. She shares her own journey of learning to speak publicly and how God helped her transform her weaknesses into strengths through faith and trust.This episode provides a practical framework for moving from fear to faith by changing how we see ourselves, reframing our thoughts, and taking action from a place of divine confidence.Key TakeawaysSelf-doubt is universal - Even those in the scriptures like Moses, Moroni, Esther, and Mary struggled with feelings of inadequacy when called by GodTrust God's vision over your own - Focus on God's perspective of who you are rather than your perceived limitationsReframe your thoughts - When self-doubt arises, intentionally choose to think differently and embrace empowering beliefsFocus on the next step - You don't need to see the entire plan; just take the next faithful step forwardTake action from faith - Even small steps taken in faith can lead to great things when aligned with God's visionResources MentionedFear to Faith Program - Available at https://karenpapincoaching.thrivecart.com/feartofaith/Divine Worth Summit - Get on the waiting list at karenpapin.com/summitScriptures MentionedExodus 4 (Moses and his calling)Ether 12:24-29 (Moroni's struggle with writing)Esther 4 (Esther's courage to approach the king)Luke 1 (Mary's calling to be mother of Jesus)1 Nephi 3:7 (The Lord prepares a way)Ready to embrace your divine worth?
