It's so easy to think our productivity and progress are OURS, which is a slippery slope to misappropriating glory, i.e., taking the glory that belongs to God, when it's clearly not about us! Drawing from a raw, honest conversation with a circle of trusted sisters in Christ — and some deeply convicting scripture — this episode unpacks one of the most subtle and dangerous traps for high-achieving Christian women in business: taking the glory that belongs to God and making it about ourselves. In This Episode: The conversation in a circle of sisters that sparked this whole episode What "misappropriating glory" means — and why it is simply pride by another name Why having all the tools, gifts, and talents to make things happen can actually become a trap The question posed that will make every high-achiever pause: "Are you willing to not be used?" A vulnerable personal share about a quiet season in business — and what the Lord is saying through it Scripture References: Ephesians 2:10 Colossians 3:23-24 Psalm 37:7 Psalm 90:16-17 Psalm 2:10-11 Key Takeaway: Work is holy — but it was never about our gain. It was always about his glory. When outcomes don't look the way we expected, the question isn't "did I do enough?" The question is, "Am I willing to glorify him even in the stillness?" Because sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is be still and wait expectantly on him. Reflection Questions From This Episode: Are you working from a place of worship — or a place of self-reliance? Have you gotten ahead of the Lord in your productivity or marketing because you're afraid of what happens if you slow down? Are you willing to not be used in the way you expected? What would it look like to glorify him equally in a full season and a quiet one? Resource Mentioned: C.S.
