God doesn't want your comfort, He wants your obedience.
Are you burying your talents in the ground because of fear? That's exactly what today's powerful conversation with Tamia Nontsikelelo, founder of Tol-Thema, a modest fashion brand, challenges us to examine.Tamia's journey from accounting student to successful fashion entrepreneur didn't follow the expected path. While still in university, she felt an inexplicable divine urgency to pursue her purpose rather than waiting for the "right time" after graduation. Despite being labeled "delusional" by those around her, she began methodically building her brand through strategic content creation, growing to 10,000 followers in just three months without financial capital.What sets Tamiya's approach apart is her refreshing perspective on preparation and competition. Rather than avoiding research for fear of discovering others already doing similar work, she extensively studied existing brands, taking inspiration from many to create something uniquely her own. "There's no such thing as competition, only confirmation," she shares, reframing the discovery of others in your field as proof of market viability rather than discouragement.Perhaps most striking is Tamia's testimony about marriage as enablement rather than limitation. Her husband's covering and support—from providing initial capital to stepping in when contractors wouldn't take a young woman seriously—created the foundation for her to flourish. This powerful counter-narrative challenges the notion that family responsibilities must become "a graveyard for God-given dreams."Whether you're hesitating to pursue your calling because of fear, resource limitations, or family responsibilities, this episode delivers the loving push you need to step into discomfort and steward your talents faithfully. The time for comfort is over. What dream has God placed within you that's waiting to be unleashed?
