120 | Stop Trying to Be Someone Else! God’s Plan Requires YOUR Strengths with Lori Owens

Are you trying to walk out your God-given calling by becoming more like someone else? Do you know God has called you to something more—but still find yourself asking, “HOW am I actually supposed to walk this out?” What if some of the clues are already there… in the strengths, personality, gifts, and characteristics God intentionally placed inside of YOU? In this episode of Prophetic Breakthrough for Christian Women, Christian life coach and prophetic mentor Amy Wadlington welcomes Lori Owens, host of Practical Solutions for PTSD, back to the podcast for a powerful conversation about discovering your God-given strengths and intentionally using them in your calling and everyday life. You’ll discover why the things that come naturally to you may be some of the strengths you’ve been overlooking, how comparison can distract you from stewarding what God gave YOU, and why understanding your unique strengths can bring greater clarity about your purpose and HOW God created you to serve, lead, and walk out His plan for your life. Amy also shares how God led her to study her own personality and strengths after losing her job in 2020—and how learning who God uniquely created her to be became an important part of understanding HOW to move forward in her calling. Friend, God didn’t create you to be the woman to your left or the woman to your right. He created you intentionally. And the strengths you’ve been overlooking may be some of the very clues God has already given you about how to walk out your calling.
