Listen "Permission Problem"
Episode Synopsis
Ever notice how some people charge forward while others wait for a green light that never seems to come? In this episode, we explore the delicate balance between seeking wisdom and seeking approval. Jen opens up about her lifelong struggle with feeling like she needs permission just to exist, while Betina shares how she's learned to confidently seek direction from God alone. We dive into the classic "forgiveness vs. permission" conversation and unpack the real question: are you waiting for someone else's approval, or are you paralyzed by fear of disapproval? This episode will challenge you to examine whose voice you're really listening to when making decisions - and whether you're confusing godly counsel with people-pleasing. If you've ever felt stuck waiting for someone to tell you it's okay to move forward, this episode is for you.Time stamps:00:00 Intros00:50 What’s your waiting for permission temp check?
