The Hidden Cost of Avoiding God's Call | Mark Osborne, Podcaster

Reluctant to step forward and share your message? You may be cheating yourself and delaying God's blessings and opportunities. In this episode, you see how accepting God's call to create - no matter how scary - leads to favor and purpose in your life.  Mark Osborne, host of The Valiant Forge podcast, had many issues to overcome in his life - a marriage on the brink, a health scare that challenged his discipline - but the biggest challenge was stepping into a role he thought was too much for him. Here he reveals what fear and insecurity nearly kept him from experiencing - and why you should be willing to take the big leap when God calls for obedience.  Press play and be inspired and motivated - no matter how unqualified you feel. Mark's story will prove that you can have a bigger impact than you realize.  Tap HERE to send us a text! Don't Build Your Creator Lifestyle Alone.
