   🎙️Don’t Waste the Gift 🌱Seed 1: When God Calls You & You Don’t Feel Qualified

   🌱 Seed Description 🎙️ Don’t Waste the GiftWhen God Calls You & You Don’t Feel Qualified Have you ever felt God calling you to something… but you didn’t feel ready, worthy, or qualified to step into it? In today’s Seed, I’m sharing a very real and personal moment where God met me in the middle of a conversation with my family — and reminded me that His calling doesn’t depend on my qualifications. We’re talking about: ✨ What it looks like to be called but feel unqualified✨ Why restoration comes before purpose✨ How the enemy tries to distract, steal, and destroy your calling✨ Why obedience leads to joy✨ And how the seeds you plant today will grow — even if you don’t see it yet Because the truth is…God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called. So don’t let fear hold you back.Don’t let the enemy ride with you.And whatever you do… don’t waste the gift. ✨ Scriptures Mentioned (ESV) Gospel of John 10:10 Psalms 51:12 Gospel of John 15:10–11 Epistle of James 3:1 Book of Joshua 24:15 First Epistle of Peter 5:5, 5:8 Gospel of Matthew 25:29 Epistle to the Philippians 4:13 🤍 Reflection Questions What is God calling me to do that I’ve been avoiding? Where in my life do I feel unqualified, but still called? Have I allowed fear or past mistakes to keep me from using my gift? What areas of my life need restoration before I step forward? Am I walking in obedience… or just thinking about it? What “seeds” am I planting today that may grow later? 🌿 Weekly Encouragement You don’t have to feel ready to be obedient. God restores you first.Then He calls you forward.And as you walk, He equips you. So take the step.Even if it’s small.Even if it’s uncomfortable. Just don’t waste what He placed inside of you. 🙏 Salvation Prayer If you’ve never given your life to Jesus, or you want to come back to Him, you can pray this right now: “Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I need You.I believe You died for my sins and rose again.Today I surrender my life to You.Forgive me, change me, and lead me.Help me follow You all the days of my life.In Jesus’ name, Amen.” Contact Me On Instagram 🔥 Hashtags #UnfilteredAndFaithful#DontWasteTheGift#CalledNotQualified#HolySpiritLed#FaithOverFear

   🎙️ Yes, Lord! Seed 8 — Even When I Have to Wait

   What do you do when you’ve said “Yes, Lord” … but nothing seems to be happening? Waiting seasons can be some of the hardest seasons to walk through. In this Seed, I open up about my own waiting season before moving, the stress and questions I faced, and how God used scripture—even numbers like 611 and 1611—to remind me of His promises and His timing. If you’re in the in-between right now, this episode will encourage you to trust God even when you can’t see what’s next. ✨ Because obedience isn’t just about stepping out—it’s about staying faithful while you wait. 💭 Reflection Questions:    1.    What promise from God are you still waiting to see fulfilled?    2.    How do you usually respond when God makes you wait? (Faith, fear, frustration?)    3.    What scriptures, signs, or reminders has God given you to encourage you in the waiting?    4.    How can you use your waiting season to grow closer to Him instead of growing weary? Your Testimony Matters. Let’s build a community of surrendered hearts who are boldly saying “Yes, Lord”—together. 📣 If this Seed spoke to you… Don’t keep it to yourself!✨ Share it with some friends📲 Post it on your socials⭐ Like, subscribe, and leave a review Let’s keep sowing Seeds of faith that take root, spread wide, and are watered by Christ.Together—we’re saying, “Yes, Lord.” 🔗 Connect & Support: 🌿 Instagram: @unfilteredandfaithful🌐 Website: https://unfilteredandfaithful.podbean.com/ 💖 Support or sow into the podcast: Venmo @Shirene808 🎧 Subscribe & follow for new Seeds every Monday! 📱 Hashtags: #YesLord #UnfilteredAndFaithful #FaithOverFear #KingdomWomen #FaithPodcast #RadicalObedience #SurrenderedLife #Seed8

   🎙️ Yes, Lord! Seed 7 – Even When It Costs Me Everything

   Saying “Yes, Lord” isn’t always safe, simple, or soft.Sometimes it means surrendering the very thing you prayed for.Sometimes it means trusting when the road ahead is falling apart beneath your feet. In this raw and powerful episode, Shirene unpacks the reality of costly obedience—through the stories of the rich young ruler, Abraham and Isaac, and Paul’s shipwreck on the way to Rome. You'll hear what happens when obedience hurts, when obedience stretches, and when obedience leads straight into the fire. This Seed also includes a deeply personal look into Shirene’s own journey—saying yes to a move from God that didn’t come with a plan, only the promise: “Trust Me.” If you’ve ever felt like your obedience was met with hardship instead of reward—this episode is for you. 📖 Reflection Scriptures: Luke 18:18–23 – “Sell everything… then come, follow me.” Genesis 22:2 – “Take your son, your only son… and sacrifice him.” Acts 27:39–44 – Shipwrecked on the way to God’s purpose Acts 28:1–3 – Bitten by a snake near the fire 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 – “We do not lose heart…” 🙏🏽 In this episode: What it means to lay your “Isaac” on the altar Why saying yes to God doesn’t always lead to ease The deeper purpose behind Paul’s shipwreck and snake bite Shirene’s personal journey of leaving her comfort zone Bible fun fact + salvation prayer A strong word of weekly encouragement 4 reflection questions to process with God 💭 Have you ever said “Yes, Lord” and ended up in a storm? Or obeyed… only to feel like everything was falling apart? You’re not alone. 📩 Message me, tag me, or email me and share your “Yes.”What did it cost?

   🎙️ Yes, Lord! Seed 6: When God Calls You to Do the Hard Thing

   Saying “Yes, Lord” isn’t just for the easy seasons. It’s for the uncomfortable, unfamiliar, and uncertain ones too. In this powerful kickoff to the Yes, Lord. series, Shirene unpacks the story of Abraham’s obedience, the delays caused by Lot, and the truth that sometimes God won’t reveal the next step until you let go of what He never told you to bring. This Seed also includes a raw look into Shirene’s own journey—following God into a move that doesn’t come with all the answers, only the command: “Go.” Whether you’re facing a decision, a delay, or a divine stretching—this episode will remind you that obedience isn’t about comfort. It’s about calling. 📖 Reflection Scriptures: Genesis 12:1 – “Go to the land I will show you.” Hebrews 11:8 – “By faith Abraham obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” Romans 8:28 – “In all things God works for the good of those who love Him.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My grace is sufficient for you…” 🙏🏽 In this episode: Letting go of the “Lots” in your life God’s promises through uncomfortable obedience Shirene’s personal testimony during a real-life move Bible fun fact + clean Bible joke Prayer + Salvation invite 4 reflection questions to go deeper with God Have you ever said “Yes, Lord”... and everything got harder? Or maybe you feel God calling you to something—but it’s stretching you in ways you didn’t expect. I want to hear your story. 📩 Message me, tag me, or email me and share your “Yes.”What did it cost?

   Life is loud. Distractions, demands, and doubts can drown out the whisper of God’s voice. In this episode, we’re talking about what it really looks like to live out your faith when the spotlight’s off — when no one’s watching, and it’s just you and your choices. How do you stay faithful in your everyday routine, in private moments, or when your faith is tested in subtle ways? We’ll dig into what it means to walk in the Spirit, not just on Sunday, but Monday through Saturday too. Shirene shares personal stories, encouragement from Scripture, and a real conversation about integrity, obedience, and why living authentically matters now more than ever. 🌱 Plus: a Bible fun fact, a heartfelt prayer, and this week’s encouragement to remind you—you’re not alone in this walk. REFLECTION QUESTIONS (for after the episode or journaling): Where in my daily life do I find it hardest to live out real faith? 2. How do I usually respond under pressure? and what does that reveal about what’s in my              heart? 3. What’s one situation that I can surrender to God this week and ask the Holy Spirit to help             me respond differently? 🙌 YOUR TURN — SHARE YOUR “YES” STORY! Has Jesus changed your life in a real and powerful way? I want to hear from YOU! 💬Send me your testimony — the moment you said “Yes, Lord” and how it’s transformed your walk.

   🎙️ Seed 3: When You Accept Christ—And Life Doesn’t Get Easier

   You gave your life to Jesus, expecting peace, hope, and maybe a smoother path—but instead, things got harder. If you’ve been wondering why surrender didn’t equal instant breakthrough, this episode is for you. In this raw and real conversation, we explore what happens after salvation—when the enemy pushes back, when life gets heavy, and when faith gets tested. I share my personal struggles after accepting Christ, what Scripture says about spiritual resistance, and why hardship doesn’t mean God left you—it often means He’s building something deeper within you. 📝 Reflection Questions – for your journal or prayer time Did you expect your life to get easier after accepting Christ? Why or why not? What shaped those expectations? What challenges have you faced in your walk with Jesus that surprised you? How did you respond—and how did God meet you in it? What are some signs that God is growing you in the middle of your discomfort? Are there moments where you can look back and see His hand shaping your heart? What promise from God can you cling to right now? Find a scripture that reminds you of His faithfulness, even in the struggle. 📖 Key Scriptures John 16:33 James 1:2–4 Romans 5:3–5 2 Corinthians 12:9 Philippians 1:6 🤝 How to Support the Podcast ✔️ Share this episode with someone walking through a hard season ✔️ Follow & subscribe so you don’t miss future Seeds ✔️ Leave a review on Apple Podcasts; Spotify or where ever your listening from to help spread the word ✔️ Pray for this ministry to reach those who feel discouraged or unseen 💌 Got a story?
