Ep. 32 - I Dare You to Move: Faith, Purpose & Obedience in the Waiting Season | Gladys Alviz
What if the season you're calling waiting is actually the season where God is cultivating you?
In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Woman Entrepreneurs Podcast, we sit down with Gladys Alviz, a registered nurse, author, and woman of faith, to talk about what happens when you choose obedience—even when you don't feel qualified, ready, or confident.
Gladys shares the remarkable story behind her book, Faith in Bloom: 62 Days of Flourishing in Faith, and how a simple question, an unexpected prophetic confirmation, and a willingness to say “yes” led her into a writing journey that took nearly four years.
Her story is a powerful reminder that God doesn't always call us because we feel capable. Sometimes He calls us precisely where we feel weak so that we learn to depend on Him.
In this conversation, we explore:
✨ How to activate your faith in the workplace
✨ Why faith looks like humility, obedience, surrender, love, and integrity
✨ How God can use your weaknesses for His glory
✨ What to do when the people closest to you don't affirm your God-given vision
✨ Why your wilderness season may be preparation rather than punishment
✨ How waiting can deepen your intimacy with Jesus
✨ Why sharing your faith can be an extension of obedience
✨ How to take the first step when you're afraid
✨ Why journaling can become the beginning of your message
✨ How writing can help you remember God's goodness and faithfulness
✨ What the sunflower can teach us about keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus
✨ Why we should focus on what God says about us—not what people say about us
One of the most powerful challenges from Gladys is simple:
“I dare you to move. I dare you to take the step.”
If God can use an ordinary woman who didn't even consider writing to be one of her strengths, He can use you too.
Your story matters.
Your testimony matters.
Your obedience matters.
And the thing God has placed inside you may be meant to encourage someone else.
🌻 Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Keep showing up. Keep abiding. Keep writing. Keep moving.
