About
Hello and welcome to the Creative Force Podcast! In this episode I sit down with entrepreneur extraordinaire, Megan Tritsch.
Megan shares her story of being a single mom and how she simply put her hands to whatever God gave her to do, watching him multiply it every single time. This conversation is all about how your gifts and calling are not something you have to figure out on your own. We talk about partnering with God in your calling, staying in your lane, working in your actual gifting, and how being faithful with the little is what opens the door for everything God has for you.
This episode is for the woman who has been faithfully doing the little things God has put in her hands, knows there is more inside of her that has not fully come out yet, and needs to be reminded that God can use exactly what she has right now to make room for everything he has placed inside of her.
My Takeaways
• Whatever God gives your hands to do, do it. You do not need a grand plan. Faithfulness with what is in front of you is how God multiplies things.
• God gave Megan a vision of Mary and the widow with oil side by side. Mary received by faith and did nothing but believe. The widow had to partner with God in action by gathering the jars. Always ask God which approach a situation calls for.
• There is a difference between partnering with God in action and striving in your own strength. Rest and work are not opposites. Working from a place of rest is possible and it is the goal.
• Write while you wait. When God has you in a waiting season he is still asking you to do something. Obedience in the small things is the seed.
• Your gift will make room for you. As you are faithful with what God puts in your hands he opens doors, connects you with the right people, and expands the vision.
• Stay in your lane. Know your giftings and work on perfecting them rather than picking up everything or stepping into a calling that is not yours. Confusion comes when people operate outside of their gifting.
• People pleasing will cause you to pick up things that were never yours to carry. Learning to say no is a gift to yourself and to others.
• Community is essential for uncovering your gifts. Often the people around you can see what God placed in you before you can see it yourself.
• To discover your gifting: ask God what you are good at and what he has called you to, write down what you hear, take inventory of your natural talents, and pay attention to what people consistently affirm in you.
• Some prophetic words are for a future season not the current one. Ask God what he wants you to do in this season first and trust that obedience now leads to the next thing.
• Even the blue collar worker, even the stay at home mom, even the woman doing the mundane things, God wants to do something with all of it. Your home is your first ministry.
• Even if nothing comes from a step of faith, you obeyed. That obedience is the seed you sowed and it matters.
