I’ve been coaching people around this mentality for over a decade—with the added consideration that God’s call on your life plays a role as well. ✨

Your unique talent capital + your relational capital + your spiritual capital = your spiritual authority in the world: the opportunities and contributions that no one else can duplicate exactly. Friends, you just have to have the humility and awareness to own it, and the courage to leverage it. ✨
