Personal Post: Discerning God's Will
I need some advice. Two years ago, I had a vision on my heart—a coaching program called Purpose-Passion-Profit. The idea was to support Christian entrepreneurs (or aspiring ones) with their marketing, offers, and positioning. I won't share too much here as I don't want this to come off as self-promotional. I launched it, and there was definite interest, but before I could onboard clients, I felt a very strong pull to step away. God revealed that I wasn’t pursuing it for the right reasons, and that the stress I was experiencing was (because of the pressure I put on myself to make it work) was negatively impacting my family. Fast forward to earlier this year: When I first envisioned the membership I recently launched, this program - Purpose-Passion-Profit, came to mind again. I thought it might fit perfectly with the other courses I’m building. Lately, I’ve also been feeling called to niche down further — to specifically support Christian wellness practitioners. Here’s where I’m struggling: Many of the wellness practitioners I currently support incorporate tools, modalities, or teachings rooted in new age practices or other religions (like Buddhism). I’m increasingly uncomfortable when these counter-Christian topics come up in posts or conversations. On one hand, my current strategy and positioning have been going really well, and I don’t want to disrupt that unless it’s God guiding me. On the other hand, this pull is becoming more persistent. Has anyone experienced something similar? Have you ever revisited a vision you once set aside? How did you discern whether it was God calling you to make a change?
