Show Notes

What happens when you know God is telling you not to do something… and you do it anyway?

In this powerful and honest conversation, licensed counselor, veteran, and author Healey Ikerd, LPC, LMFT shares the story of a career decision she made out of fear instead of faith — even after sensing a clear warning from God. What followed was a season of stress, frustration, and one of the most difficult work environments she had ever experienced.

But this isn’t just a story about disobedience — it’s a story about grace, redemption, and God’s faithfulness even when we get it wrong.

Healey opens up about:

• Hearing God’s guidance but choosing the perception of security instead

• The miserable job that confirmed she should have listened

• Letting go in faith without a safety net

• The unexpected opportunity God provided just weeks later

• Learning to trust God with finances, career, dating, and marriage

• Why God can still use our mistakes for good

If you’ve ever struggled to trust God with a big decision… taken the “safe” route instead of the faith route… or wondered if you missed His plan — this testimony will encourage you. God’s mercy is bigger than our fear, and His plans don’t fall apart when we do. God doesn’t abandon us in our missteps — He walks with us, teaches us, and lovingly redirects us.
