   Episode 11: Karin shares her journey of faith, obedience, waiting, and endurance as she navigates through a season of uncertainty and transition. Her story reflects the challenges of attaching confidence to outcomes instead of God's character and the importance of trusting His direction even in the waiting room. Takeaways: Obedience doesn't always lead to immediate clarity; sometimes it requires endurance and trust in God's character.

The waiting room is a place of preparation and endurance, where trust in God's character is more important than visible evidence. Theme Verses: Hebrews 10:35-36 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.

It delves into the fear associated with rest and the transformation that occurs when intentional rest is prioritized.

Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates.

   Survival Mode Demands Payment

   Episode 8: You can survive in survival mode for a long time before you realize it’s slowly destroying you. In this episode, Karin talks about the hidden cost of living in constant over-functioning, especially for high-capacity women who have learned to carry everything. What starts as responsibility, discipline, and ambition can quietly become fear-driven living that steals your peace, your presence, your health, and your relationships. Through personal stories of building a successful wedding photography business while internally collapsing, Karin unpacks: how survival mode disguises itself as strength why anxiety often becomes the pace setter of our lives what Scripture reveals through the stories of Martha and Elijah about exhaustion, rest, and trust. If you’ve been feeling constantly overwhelmed, emotionally unavailable, unable to slow down, or trapped in the pressure to keep holding everything together, this episode will challenge you to ask a deeper question: What if God never asked you to carry this much in the first place? Key Scriptures: Luke 10:38-42 (ESV) “Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, ‘Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.’ But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her." 1 Kings 19:4-8 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he asked that he might die, saying, "It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers." And he lay down and slept under a broom tree. And behold, an angel touched him and said to him, "Arise and eat." And he looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water. And he ate and drank and lay down again. And the angel of the Lord came again a second time and touched him and said. "Arise and eat, for the journey is too great for you." And he arose and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights.

   Bold Prayers Ask, Seek, Knock & Let Go

   Episode 7: In this episode, Karin explores how our prayers often mask a survival mode that keeps us emotionally guarded. She shares stories of trusting God beyond the answers and how real faith transforms from surviving to thriving. Discover how survival mode distorts prayer, leading to cautious requests instead of bold trust. Karin highlights Hannah's vulnerable prayers and Jesus' teachings on audacity, showing that boldness is rooted in relational confidence with God. This episode is perfect for women ready to move beyond fear and experience the fullness of God's presence. Are you ready to pray courageously and trust deeply? Theme Verses: Luke 11:5-8 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’? I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs. Matthew 7:7-9 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

   Boldness Isn't A Feeling: It's Obedience

   Episode 6: In this episode of Build Bold, Karin challenges one of the most common misconceptions about faith: that obedience should feel peaceful, clear, and confident before you move. If you’ve been waiting to feel ready, this conversation will confront that head-on. Through raw storytelling—from building a photography business with little experience to facing repeated failure at bridal shows—Karin unpacks what it actually looks like to follow God when fear is still loud. You’ll hear how boldness isn’t the absence of fear, but the decision to stop letting fear lead. Grounded in Scripture and real-life experience, this episode: reframes fear exposes hesitation disguised as “wisdom” calls you to examine where you’re delaying obedience Because the question isn’t why you feel afraid. It’s who you’re letting lead when you do. If you’re stuck, second-guessing, or waiting for confirmation—you don’t need more clarity. You need to move. Theme Verse — Deuteronomy 31:6: “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

   Calling Rooted in Identity

   Episode 5: This episode challenges the idea that your calling is something you’re still waiting to discover. Karin breaks down the truth that your calling isn’t “out there” tied to a future version of your life—it’s already active in how you show up right now. Through personal story and biblical teaching, she unpacks the tension between unmet expectations, disappointment, and purpose—especially when life doesn’t look the way you thought it would. You’ll hear a raw look at navigating single motherhood, building a business in survival mode, and learning to surrender a different version of life while still walking in obedience. Karin dives into what Scripture actually says about calling, identity, and desire while confronting the lies that keep people stuck—waiting for clarity instead of moving in obedience. This episode will challenge you to: Stop tying your calling to outcomes or timelines Recognize the responsibility and influence already in your life Reframe your current season as intentional, not accidental Start living out your calling through obedience, not perfection If you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or disconnected from purpose, this conversation will push you to stop waiting—and start building with what’s already in your hands. Theme Verses: Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
