Have you ever stepped into your assignment with confidence, only to hit unexpected resistance?

In this first conversation of our September series, Fortifying the Messenger, Angela unpacks why pushback often shows up right after you step into your calling, what it really means, and how to stand your ground without striving or burning out.

You’ll learn:

Why resistance often confirms your calling instead of disproving it
How to discern between spiritual warfare, natural obstacles, and distractions
Why fortification must happen before the pressure hits, not during
How to anchor your voice so you stay steadfast when the enemy tries to wear you down

This isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about standing rooted in what God has entrusted to you...no matter what comes against you.
