96. What You Ask Has Never Been Done Before!
In this episode of The Integrated Life podcast, Diana addresses the question, "What if you are asked to do something that has never been done before?" A BIG ASK. How would you react? We have within us the ability to step out in faith and confidently address those things that seem beyond our limits. Faith shows us the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1 (NLT) Listen to hear how you are a vessel for God's greatness! Connect with Diana: Quick Episode Summary: Diana Romero introduces the podcast and sponsor, IPM Professional Coaching, highlighting their role in helping individuals reach their potential. The episode focuses on facing seemingly impossible tasks, using the story of Daniel in the Bible as an example. Daniel's faith allowed him to confidently ask King Nebuchadnezzar for time to reveal the meaning of his dream. Daniel gathered his friends to pray for God's mercy and revelation, showing the power of communal prayer. God revealed the dream to Daniel, who praised Him for the answer. Daniel gave all credit to God when revealing the dream to the king, who then rewarded Daniel with a high position in the kingdom. Diana encourages listeners to have faith, seek prayer support, and give God the glory in difficult situations.
