Sometimes what we call waiting on God is wisdom—but sometimes it’s fear. Learn how to discern the difference and take your next faithful step with courage.

Is it wisdom… or fear? In this episode, Dawn explores how we sometimes call it “waiting on God” when what we really need is courage to take the next faithful step.

A beach vacation, a muddy shortcut, and a patient husband become an unforgettable lesson about trusting God’s direction. With humor and honesty, Dawn reminds readers that God’s path is always better than the one that merely seems right to us.

An inflatable shark becomes an unexpected reminder that God often uses ordinary, even unusual, acts of obedience to encourage His people. Through a humorous story and a timely lesson, Dawn invites readers to trust God’s prompting and faithfully speak the words He places on their hearts.

That quiet voice of self-doubt tells us we’re not qualified, not gifted enough, or not ready. Drawing from her own struggle as a writer, Dawn reminds readers that God doesn’t simply give us permission to use our gifts—He invites us to faithfully steward them for His glory and the good of others.

One tiny word in Matthew 5:16 opens the door to a powerful truth. Dawn reflects on what it means to let Christ’s light shine through us and how fear, comparison, and discouragement can keep us from reflecting His light to the world.
