Are you a Christian woman who feels called by God but struggles with insecurity, overwhelm, or second-guessing your obedience? Welcome to Confidence in Your Calling — a faith-based podcast for Christian women who are ready to stop seeking the world’s approval, quiet the noise, and step boldly into God’s calling with courageous obedience. If you feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, anxious, or exhausted, it can be hard to hear God clearly... And then when you do hear God's voice... sometimes it is not easy to answer that call. This podcast helps you reduce mental noise, strengthen your confidence in Christ, and move from hesitation to faith-filled action. I’m Dawn Shurley, a certified Christian Life Coach, and I’m passionate about helping women align with God’s Kingdom, build spiritual clarity, and obey without fear. When we seek God first, He forms the desires of our heart and strengthens us to walk in them. Each episode explores three core pillars: Kingdom Clarity — Anchoring your identity in Christ, cultivating a deeper devotional life, and inviting God into your decisions, relationships, and daily rhythms. Peace & Presence — Reducing overwhelm and decision fatigue, creating space to hear God’s voice, and building rhythms that support emotional and spiritual stability. Purpose & Contribution — Living from rest instead of pressure, embracing your calling with confidence, and glorifying God through faithful obedience. If you’re ready to stop waiting for permission, overcome fear, and walk boldly in God’s plan for your life — you’re in the right place. I am so glad you are here!

In this episode of Confidence in Your Calling, we dive into the Book of Job to explore the danger of forcing divine mystery into human logic.
Why do we automatically assume suffering must be punishment? Why do we feel the need to explain every painful situation with predictable formulas? Through Job’s devastating losses, emotional wrestling, and conversations with his friends, this episode uncovers how human reasoning can sometimes...
In this week’s episode, we take a deep, healing look into 1 Peter 1:2 — and uncover how father wounds can quietly shape the way women relate to God as Father.
Whether you grew up with a loving father… an emotionally absent father… an abusive father… or no father figure at all… wounds can still form in the hidden places of the heart. Those experiences can affect how we receive love & protection, depth of peace, and even the trut...
In this episode, we explore how shifting our perspective—by viewing life through the lens of Scripture... changes the way we experience life... and life's challenges.

1. The Truth of God’s Character God is faithful, loving, and keeps His...
Do you want a fresh lens on fiery trials?
In this episode, we dive into the Book of Daniel chapter 3 and the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who stood firm in their faith even when faced with the fiery furnace. What was meant to destroy them became the very place where God showed His power and presence.
We reflect on how life’s “fires” refine us and strengthen our faith, our character, and exposes pride in order to draw u...
In this episode of Confidence In Your Calling, we will adventure into the powerful story of Nehemiah and what it teaches us about prayer, purpose, and perseverance in the face of opposition.
Nehemiah had "made it". He had position, comfort, and influence. But when he heard about the broken state of Jerusalem, he didn’t ignore it… he let it move him. Instead of rushing to fix things...
In this episode, we explore the balance between making plans and surrendering to God’s will. Through personal reflection, scripture, and a meaningful dream, you’ll be encouraged to trust God’s guidance while still taking action in your life. If you’re facing decisions and seeking clarity, this conversation will remind you that God walks with you—guiding, redirecting, and faithfully leading every step of the way.
L...It’s easy to rely on what we can see, calculate, and control… but God invites us into a completely different way of making decisions. In this episode, we explore what it means to align with God’s wisdom instead of leaning on our own understanding. While His way can feel uncomfortable and unpredictable, it leads to deeper peace, clarity, and purpose.
You’ll learn why human wisdom is limited, how God’s perspective is far greater, and...

Are boundaries actually biblical?
Many Christian women feel pressure to be constantly available, endlessly giving, and never say no, in the name of kindness. But Scripture paints a different picture. The Bible teaches that wisdom includes guarding what God has entrusted to us—our hearts, our thoughts, our peace, our nervous system, and our calling.
Boundary setting is one of those things that doesn't seem to come easy. I struggled ...

If you’ve ever felt anxiety, overwhelm, or tense… there is a good chance your thoughts were anchored in a shifting sea of the world’s identity metrics. Basing our identity on the ever changing world… we lose our footing and therefore, let go of the peace God gives us.
