Empty Nester, Acknowledge Your Gifts and Believe!

Many Christian women struggle with acknowledging what God has done—and is doing—in their lives.

We downplay our gifts. We minimize our growth. We call it humility—but often, it’s something else entirely.

In this episode of The Worthy Wife Podcast, I talk about the lie many of us have believed: that recognizing our God-given gifts and abilities is somehow prideful. And I invite you to consider a different perspective—one rooted in faith.

Because this was never about you. It’s always been about honoring the work of your Creator.

I share why refusing to look at who God has made you to be actually keeps you from fully trusting Him, how belief is something we must practice, and why shrinking back or burying your gifts is not humility—it’s fear.

Using Scripture, real-life examples, and a powerful metaphor about strength and training, I’ll walk you through what it means to exercise belief, release outcomes to God, and step forward in faith—even when circumstances feel heavy or uncertain.

You are not where you are by accident. You were placed here, now, on purpose.

And to do the work of God, we must believe.
