22- Trusting Jesus in our Calling with Melissa Spoelstra

In this episode I chat with Bible teacher and speaker, Melissa Spoelstra on all things calling and how the Lord led her into what she does now.


Melissa really gets into what it costs to follow Jesus into what He is calling us to. Sometimes it is easy to look at the glamour and flashy side of the ministry we feel God is calling us to, or even just the best sides of living life with Christ, but there is also a side that will cost us.


It can be so easy to want to give up and stop pressing on when things get challenging and difficult for as we follow the Lord as if we are doing it all wrong or it is simply not meant for us, but when Jesus calls you to it, you follow Him at all costs. We get knocked down, we live in doubt, we cry our eyes out and then we wipe our tears away and get back to walking by faith with our Lord.


Melissa Spoelstra is a women’s conference speaker, Bible teacher and author who is madly in love with Jesus and passionate about helping others to seek Christ and know Him more intimately. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Bible Theology and is a contributor to Girlfriends in God online devotional as well as Proverbs 31 Ministries First 5 app. She is the author of seven Bible studies (The Names of God, Romans, Elijah, Numbers, First Corinthians, Joseph, and Jeremiah) and four books (Total Family Makeover, Total Christmas Makeover, 30 Days of Prayer for Spiritual Stamina and Dare to Hope). Melissa makes her home in Pickerington, OH, with her pastor husband and four kids.

What am I called to do? How will I purse my calling? How do I keep God the center of what I feel called to do? How do I build a platform? How do I grow my Instagram? How do I write a book and publish a book or start a product based business? Welcome to the Called to Build Podcast and if you have ever found yourself asking questions like these we are bringing you the answers to the doubts that keep us paralyzed. Ashley Morgan Jackson is coming to serve you with discussion about our inner struggles like fear of rejection, fear of failure or even fear of success. With discussion on judgement, comparison, shame and many more roadblocks we face when attempting to pursue our call. We will also address the practical side of building an online presence such as growing your Instagram, graphic design, book writing, book proposals, and so much more all while keeping our main focus on the one who it is all for, Jesus. Are you ready to step out in faith in a new way? We can't do it without you, you are more valuable than you could ever know, you are *Called to Build.*
