When It Feels Like Nothing’s Working: How God Uses Silence to Refine You
Eps. 019
You poured your heart into the launch.
You obeyed God, followed the strategy, and showed up boldly.
But instead of breakthrough, you were met with silence.
No comments.
No clients.
No confirmation.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Did I miss God?”—this episode is for you. Because silence doesn't always mean rejection. In fact, it might mean you’re being refined.
Episode Summary
In Episode 19 of Legendary Influence, we’re diving into what it really means to walk by faith when your obedience doesn’t get the applause you expected. As Christian women in business, we can fall into the trap of measuring our purpose by performance—but God sees obedience as success.
This episode explores the tension between feeling called and feeling unseen, and how Kingdom entrepreneurs can reframe delay, silence, and rejection as God’s process of development.
Drawing from biblical examples like Noah and David, we’ll unpack how God uses these “quiet seasons” to build the resilience, roots, and readiness required for next-level influence.
Key Takeaways
1. Silence is Not Rejection—It’s Refinement.
Kingdom success is rarely instantly affirmed.
God fortifies before He positions.
→ Obedience is the win—even when no one claps.
2. You Must Anchor in Assignment, Not Applause.
Stop chasing human validation for a God-ordained assignment.
Divine results don’t come from the approval of people.
3. Ask Better Questions in the Middle of the Wait:
Not “Why isn’t this working?”
Ask: “How is God preparing me for what I prayed for?”
4. Decree Truth Before You See Fruit.
Speak life over what hasn’t blossomed yet.
Like the bamboo tree, growth happens underground first. When it breaks through—it multiplies fast.
5. Obedience Builds Influence.
You're not being overlooked—you're being positioned.
God is developing the character to sustain what’s coming.
