Episode 4: The Cost of the Call, Overcoming Shame, and Redefining Success in Ministry with Rev. Julie Lovi

In this deeply vulnerable episode of My Story For His Glory, Ev. Priscillah Wafula welcomes back Rev. Julie Lovi to discuss the realities of ministry that few people talk about.

Ministry is not always a walk in the park; it is a costly affair, often marked by painful transitions, misunderstandings, and seasons of profound shaking. Rev. Julie candidly shares her personal journey of navigating a difficult exit after serving faithfully in a church for over ten years. She opens up about the sting of false narratives, the heavy weight of shame, and how the enemy attempts to use these painful moments to silence our callings.

Together, Ev. Priscillah Wafula and Rev. Julie Lovi explore

• The Anatomy of Shame: How to recognize when shame is trying to derail your destiny and why you must not allow it to keep you in hiding.
• Letting God Be Your Defender: The spiritual discipline of remaining silent and honoring God even when you have the platform to defend yourself.
• The Blessing of the 'Holding Place': Finding healing and realignment in the quiet seasons between assignments.
• Redefining Success: Shifting our perspective from the validation of men, numbers, and physical accomplishments to valuing obedience and seeing others through the eyes of faith.
• Forgiveness as a Weapon: The power of not taking offenses personally and learning to pray for those who hurt you.

If you have ever experienced a painful exit, felt disqualified by shame, or are struggling to trust God in a season of "starting over," this episode is for you. Tune in to be encouraged, fortified, and reminded that God is the ultimate Redeemer.

Episode 3: The Process, Forgiveness, and Pursuing Purpose with Pastor Sue Wachira

In this deeply moving and authentic episode of My Story For His Glory, Evangelist Priscillah Wafula sits down with the incredibly gifted Pastor Sue Wachira, a worship pastor, music teacher, and a true worshiper at heart.

Pastor Sue opens up about her unique journey into ministry, sharing how she navigated the transition from an average high school student unsure of her path to a recognized voice in the gospel music scene. With profound candor, she discusses the importance of parental support in pursuing God-given callings - highlighting how her parents, though from a family of teachers, encouraged her to pursue music when God spoke clearly to her after her final high school exams.

Are you feeling stuck in your waiting season or wondering if your gift is enough? Pastor Sue provides an encouraging reality check. She shares the untold stories behind the glory: the years of silent preparation, the "panel beating" needed to refine raw talent, and the importance of having mentors "men at our gates" like Bire and Pitson, who saw her potential and helped her grow.

Key Takeaways in this Episode:

• Discovering Identity: How to recognize and embrace the unique gifts wired within you.
• The Power of Obedience Over Views: Why success in God’s kingdom is measured by obedience, not likes, views, or immediate fame. Pastor Sue shares the humbling reality that her earlier songs took years to gain traction before the hit Naenda Mbele was birthed.
• The Divine Setup: A miraculous story of how God ordered her steps to study the ABRSM music curriculum, bridging the gap to her university education.
• Navigating the Industry: A call to break misconceptions about music as a career and a reminder for worshipers to stay grounded in their relationship with God above the applause of men.
• God's Sense of Humor: Pastor Sue reminds us that God does not waste any experience and often leads us through unexpected paths to fulfill His divine purpose.
  
  Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will challenge you to honor the process, embrace your unique calling, and keep singing your song—whether to an audience of one or thousands.
