When God Nudges You to Act: What Obedience Really Means
We often think sharing the gospel means having the right words.
But what if it’s more about having the courage to show up?
In this minisode of Honest Christian Conversations, I reflect on obedience, the fear of rejection, and the quiet ways God invites us to love people others avoid. I also share why it’s important to let our children experience real moments with Jesus—on God’s terms, not ours.
🎧 After you listen, I’d love to hear from you:
What’s one moment you felt God calling you to step outside your comfort zone? What held you back—or what helped you say yes?

HOW TO RESPOND WHEN GOD CALLS YOU TO LOVE THE PEOPLE OTHERS AVOID
Wife. Mother of five. Podcaster. Fiction Novelist
Ana is the host of the Honest Christian Conversations podcast and a prodigal saved by God’s unending grace.
She grew up in a legalistic Christian home where asking questions often felt wrong. In her early twenties, overwhelmed by confusion and hurt, she walked away from her faith. Yet even then, God’s love never stopped pursuing her. At thirty years old—and after a painful second divorce—He brought her back to himself, and she has never looked back.
As Ana returned to Christ, she began rebuilding her faith from the ground up and asked the questions she once feared to ask. Along that journey, she discovered inconsistencies, misplaced teachings, and even lies woven into the Christianity she grew up with. Instead of destroying her faith, this only deepened it. Out of that discovery, she founded Honest Christian Conversations. Ana's heart is to help others navigate the same tension she once lived with: wanting to know the real Jesus while sorting through the noise of deceptive teachings, spiritual manipulation, and “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
Everything she creates flows from gratitude for the God who rescued her, restored her, and continues to shape her into who He intended her to be.
