She Leads Boldly: Guiding Christian Wives and Moms to Lead Without Burnout

When Bold Faith Confronts Fear: A Real Story of Courage, Prayer & Promotion

Sherrika Sanders Season 1 Episode 3

Have you ever felt the Holy Spirit tugging at your heart to speak up — even when fear says “stay quiet”? In this powerful episode of the She Leads Boldly podcast, host Sherrika Sanders shares a deeply personal story from her corporate journey as an accounting manager. Faced with the tension between staying silent or standing up for herself, Sherrika made a bold move in the face of fear —choosing to advocate for herself over comfort.

From a promotion offer that came with a whisper of "you deserve more," to the inner conflict of self-doubt, family advice, and spiritual conviction, this episode unpacks the real-life experience of choosing faith, identity, and courage in a high-stakes workplace moment.

Through the lens of key scriptures—
📖 Joshua 1:9 – “Be strong and courageous…”
📖 2 Timothy 1:7 – “God has not given us a spirit of fear…”
📖 Proverbs 28:1 – “The righteous are bold as a lion…”
📖 Psalm 27:1 – “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?”


 — you’ll be reminded that God has already equipped you to rise, lead, and ask boldly in every season.
