176: Meg Calvin and Permission for Ambition

Meg Calvin is a fellow podcaster, speaker, and author of I Am My Own Sanctuary. Today, Meg shares how she was called to ministry at a young age, how it took over her life, and how she learned to have a life outside of her work. Meg says she helps “spiritually attuned go-getters” like herself to make peace with ambition by seeing it as God-given. Meg has a great sense of humor and I know her story will encourage you to ask what it is the Lord is asking you to do and go get it done!

Listen to Meg’s story, now!

Stories Meg shared:

Working on a church staff from very young
Tips for how to deal with Imposter Syndrome
Finding validation in the church
Sensing the Holy Spirit as a young woman
Noticing a difference between herself and her classmates in seminary
Discovering how fun “outside of church Meg” is
How it surprises her that people that people have limiting beliefs
How she learned to have a life outside of church
Learning that she is loved even without accomplishment
Staying at her church even after she decided against ordination

Why Christians shouldn’t be afraid of “owning their power”
Why “I am my own sanctuary” is important to her

Great quotes from Meg:

Nobody loves you enough to hold you accountable to your selfcare.

I said no to God to speak behind a mic every Sunday because I thought I was doing that to get applause but my hobbies were the same thing.
