Your Current Assignment - Faithfulness in This Season

Have you ever found yourself waiting for God to give you something big to do—while half-heartedly doing the small things right in front of you? This week, we're exploring why your current assignment matters more than you think.

Key Scripture: Nehemiah 6:3 - "I am doing a great work and I cannot come down"

In This Episode:

  1. The Nehemiah Principle: How he protected his assignment and why that matters for your life today
  2. The Neuroscience of Focus: What your reticular activating system reveals about assignment clarity (and why people who focus on one clear goal are 42% more likely to achieve it)
  3. Three Characteristics of an Assignment: It's seasonal, specific, and strategic—understanding this changes everything
  4. The Assignment Inventory: A four-step exercise to identify what God has actually assigned to you right now
  5. Why Faithfulness Matters: How your current assignment prepares you for your next assignment

Key Takeaway: Your current assignment isn't filler—it's preparation. Stop waiting for the "big thing" and be faithful with what's in your hands right now.

This Week's Challenge: Complete the Assignment Inventory. Identify your 2-3 current assignments from God and commit to doing them with excellence.

Next Week: We'll explore the difference between assignment and purpose—because what you do is not the same as why you exist.

Through my experience as a nurse, educator, sales director, business mentor and certified leadership coach, I've developed a deep desire to love people enough to help them reach their God-given potential. My superpower is in helping you identify how to get "unstuck" by clarifying what's NEXT and what's POSSIBLE, and by being your friend as you take action to get there. I love being a Jesus lover, wife, momma, spirtual momma, and dog mom. Fueled by coffee, grits, and chocolate.
