Made for More: Saying Yes to God, Letting Go of Fear, and Learning to Abide with Kim Oswalt!

What drives someone to seek a life that truly feels "made for more"? This faith-filled conversation with self-published author Kim Oswalt leans into that question with honesty, humour, and a lot of real talk about fear, obedience, and walking closely with God. Host Gina Fox chats with Kim about her journey from teenage faith in Utah to leading women’s ministry and, eventually, writing three Christian books.

Kim admits she never saw herself as an author and openly names fear of failure as the thing that almost stopped her: when her writing coach asked what was holding her back, she realised, "I'm afraid to fail" – and saying it out loud became a turning point.

You’ll hear how Kim stepped forward anyway, trusting that "any step of obedience, when He calls me into it, He's going to be there with me through it." From that moment, a single book idea grew into a three-part series on living an abundant life, the battle for our minds, and what it really means to abide with God. The episode also pulls back the curtain on self-publishing.

Gina and Kim swap stories about writing at odd hours, working with editors who "rip you apart" in the best way, and the cost – emotional and financial – of putting your story on the page while trying to keep each person’s voice intact. At its heart, this conversation is for anyone who senses God nudging them towards something new – whether that’s recovery, ministry, creativity, or simply deeper faith – but feels unqualified, anxious, or stuck in old lies.

Kim’s gentle challenge is simple: spend time in prayer, ask God what to let go of, and see what He does with the new version of you He brings to the surface. If you’ve ever wondered whether your story matters or if you’re actually made for more, this one will give you plenty to think about – and maybe your next brave step to take.
