Called, Not Qualified: What To Do When Battling Self-Doubt

Feeling overwhelmed in your first year of podcasting? You’re not alone. In this heartfelt episode, Tammy tackles the inner voice of self-doubt that creeps in when you’re just starting. From the lies the enemy whispers to the truth of God’s Word, this episode is packed with biblical encouragement and real talk for the new or struggling podcaster. Learn to shift your mindset, celebrate small wins, and walk in obedience—even when your confidence is shaky. Whether you’re wondering if you’re “qualified” or just trying to keep up, this conversation will remind you: God didn’t call you to be perfect—He called you to show up.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• Self-doubt is normal, but it’s not from God.
• God qualifies the called—not the other way around.
• Anchor your mindset in scripture (2 Timothy 1:7 & Exodus 4:10 -12).
• Talk back to the lies and focus on one listener.
• Celebrate small wins—they’re signs of fruit.
• Detach your identity from your analytics.
• Pause, pray, and simplify when you feel overwhelmed.
• Resetting is not quitting—sometimes, slowing down is spirit-led.
