Realigning Ambition With God’s Heart

What if the problem isn’t your effort, but your alignment? Kicking off the year, we trade hype for a heart check shaped by Philippians. Paul writes from prison with no platform, no metrics, and no visible success—yet his words radiate joy and peace. That servant-first posture exposes where modern ambition quietly crowds out trust, and how a “productive” year can still be spiritually off-course.

I share a candid look at building a healing curriculum for women—testing groups, investing in coaches and ads, creating content—and watching the numbers fall flat. Through weekly check-ins with two amigas, prayer brought a hard but freeing truth to the surface: I had started operating as if the mission was mine to carry, not God’s to lead. We unpack the moment when calling turns into pressure, why stalled results can be God’s mercy, and how servanthood realigns motives without shaming your hustle.

You’ll hear practical shifts that change everything: pray before you post, ask before you invest, serve before you strive, and measure stories over stats. We offer reflection prompts to help you discern who you’re serving from and who you’re serving for, plus a grounding prayer to reset expectations and timelines in God’s hands. If your job, business, or ministry feels heavy, this conversation invites you back to a posture that produces durable peace and clearer purpose.

Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a gentle reset, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—what’s one place you’ll swap performance for surrender this week?

Reflection Questions: Servanthood, Alignment & the Heart Check

1. Are there areas in my life right now that have slowly become more about me than we? What shifted?

2. Has my job, calling, or role become more about surviving, proving, or producing than serving?

3. Am I so overwhelmed by responsibilities—bills, children, expectations—that servanthood feels impossible?

4. If I am serving, am I doing it from a place of joy or frustration?

5. Where might I be operating in my own strength instead of inviting God into the process?

6. Have I been measuring success by outcomes instead of obedience?

7. What is one area of my life God may be gently inviting me to realign—not fix, not quit, but realign?

Take time to journal, pray, and invite God into what He is revealing to you
