Ep 121 // How to Hear God's Voice in the Midst of Setbacks - Insights from Tamara Jackson Building a Life of Courageous Faith
Have you ever felt stuck between where you thought life would take you... and the winding, wild path God is actually leading you on?
In today's deeply moving and faith-filled conversation, Megan sits down with Tamara Jackson – faith-based leadership consultant, speaker, podcaster, and founder of Beaconship. Tamara shares her incredible story of chasing corporate success, navigating crushing setbacks, caring for her mother through illness, and ultimately surrendering to God's unexpected (and exceedingly better!) plan.
If you've ever wondered how to hear God's voice when life gets messy, how to move forward when dreams shatter, or how to walk by faith when you can’t see the whole picture — this episode is your invitation to trust the journey and grasp His promises.
Tamara also unveils her powerful GRASP Faith Framework, a Spirit-led decision-making process that will help you stop overthinking and start moving with clarity and purpose!
Quotes to Remember:
"Success is not a straight line. God is doing deep work in the detours."
"Sometimes the road will be smooth, sometimes rocky, but keep moving — I am with you."
"You can control building a relationship with God that keeps you at peace even when life feels out of control."
