What does it really mean to live as a daughter of God, not just a doer? And how can we hear His voice clearly in a world that’s always rushing us toward the next thing?

In this heartfelt episode, Marilis Pineiro and Monica explore the beauty of daughterhood and the often fragile process of discerning God’s will.

We talk about:

• The difference between performing for God vs resting in your identity as His daughter
• The quiet strength in surrender
• Signs you might be striving, not discerning
• How to listen when God seems silent
• Why identity comes before direction

Rooted in scripture and grounded in the slow wisdom of faith, this episode is a gentle nudge to step away from pressure and into peace.

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last." – John 15:16 (RSV)
