Have you ever looked back and realized the very thing you prayed away was actually the thing that shaped you the most? What if the frustration, conflict, or restlessness you’re feeling right now isn’t just random, but an invitation from God? In this episode of the Bold Becomers Podcast, we’re talking about the invitations we ignore: those subtle nudges, closed doors, or uncomfortable shifts that God uses to call us higher. Too often, we silence ourselves or change our external actions hoping for peace, when really, God is asking us to look inward and upward. We’ll uncover how to recognize God’s hand in your experiences, how to discern the difference between false peace and real obedience, and how to respond with courage instead of avoidance. What you’ll learn in this episode: •Common ways God sends invitations into your life (restlessness, repeated opportunities, closed doors). •Why silencing your voice doesn’t bring peace and what God is really asking of you instead. •How to practice surrender by saying yes to small nudges. •The power of honoring your story and recognizing God’s fingerprints in your journey. Challenge of the Week: Ask yourself, “What invitation have I been ignoring?” Then take one small step to say yes. Bold Declaration: “God, I trust that nothing in my life is wasted. The moments I once called painful, frustrating, or inconvenient are actually invitations from You, drawing me into deeper purpose. Thank You for opening my eyes to see beyond the surface, to recognize Your hand in every experience, and to embrace the lessons that shape me. Today I boldly declare: I will no longer resist the invitation. I accept it, and I will walk in it with faith and courage.” Scripture encouragement: Revelation 3:20 Ready for your next step?
