Episode Transcription

Confidence is fragile—built on feelings, feedback, and external results. Conviction, on the other hand, stands firm even when the world shakes. Mikel explains that with conviction, you don’t need to feel ready to move forward—you just need to obey. Citing Jeremiah 1 and Charles Spurgeon, he reframes the pursuit of confidence with the higher call of being sent by God. Obedience, not self-assurance, will carry you where confidence can’t.
