On the outside, I was standing in the land of plenty. Internally, I was still operating like a slave.If you’ve ever felt like you’re surrounded by opportunity but can’t fully step into it…If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re truly qualified for what God placed in your heart…If you’ve ever held the blessing but couldn’t receive the peace…This episode is for you.

What if you already have everything you need to start? In this episode, I’m sharing why waiting for perfect keeps us stuck, how God meets us after we step out in faith, and what it looks like to begin with what’s already in your hands. If you’ve been holding back because the timing doesn’t feel right—this one’s for you. You’re closer than you think.

After surrendering to God’s vision (Episode 1), the next step is obedience—even when you don’t feel ready. I share my personal story of waiting for the “perfect” podcast setup (studio, equipment, aesthetics) and how God showed me to start with what I had: an iPhone and a mini microphone. Once I obeyed, He provided everything else.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE:

• Why we delay obedience waiting for “the right conditions”

• How God provides AFTER the step of faith, not before

• Practical steps to start with what you have right now

KEY SCRIPTURES:

Nehemiah 6:3 - “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down”

Zechariah 4:10 - “Do not despise these small beginnings”

Habakkuk 2:2 - “Write the vision and run with it”

Exodus 14:15 - “Tell the Israelites to move on”

TOPICS COVERED:

• Overcoming perfectionism in business and ministry

• The faith principle: obedience unlocks provision

• Biblical examples: Nehemiah

• How to inventory what you already have

• Stop comparing your beginning to someone else’s middle

• Setting a start date and committing to imperfect action

• Why God doesn’t bless the plan—He blesses the obedience

THE CHALLENGE:

What’s ONE thing you can do THIS WEEK with what you already have?

• Record the first video

• Send the first email

• Post the first piece of content

• Reach out to the first potential client

• Write the first chapter

Don’t wait for perfect. Start messy. Start scared. Start small. Just START.

💬 COMMENT BELOW: What’s one thing you’re going to start this week with what you already have? I’d love to hear from you.

2026: Your Year to SHIFT with God | Identity Shift Podcast EP 1

Welcome to the premiere episode of Identity Shift with Arnesjah - the space where we renew our minds to live in our unique design.

In this episode, we're talking about surrender. You carry a unique design, and God has placed dreams inside you that you can't ignore. Maybe you've abandoned your vision because it got hard. Maybe you've been standing in your own way. But this season is about picking up what God gave you and carrying it through.

I share my personal journey of nurturing the Identity Shift vision for four years, laying it down, and finally surrendering my heart to God to bring it to life. We'll dive into the story of King Richard, Venus and Serena Williams, and what it looks like to carry a vision before you see the victory.

God is asking for your willing heart. Not your perfection. Not your plan. Just your willingness to surrender and trust Him with what He's placed inside you. God desires to bless us with our best—and in 2026, let's receive that.

This is your year to SHIFT - to Surrender your Heart In Faith and Trust God.

Are you ready to shift?
