Maybe it was the job that didn’t pan out. The relationship that unraveled. The dream you outgrew but were scared to admit.

Strength x Glory / Laureen Alexa Trujillo

We’ve got to pray to make it through the dayyyy.

But seriously! Prayer is powerful and I’m so thankful for Dr. Angela and her beautiful stories, insight, wisdom, and encouragement in this area.

In this conversation, she proposes the question:
What Happens When God Answers Your Prayer - Are You Ready?

There is a process of prayer and also developing the audacity to pray big prayers and grow our faith.

Key highlights:
* Praying bold prayers and then believing even when it takes time.
* Every coach should have a life that is a workbook to the textbook they teach
* Dr. Angela’s Stories of watching God move in her life

How to Find Your Passion and Step Into Your Purpose with Dr. Angela Chester
The BraveHearted Woman Podcast / Apple Podcasts
March 23, 2026
What if the biggest pivot in your life was actually an invitation to step fully into your purpose?

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Angela Chester, pastoral counselor, media entrepreneur, three-time best-selling author, and host of Daily Spark Radio and TV. With over two decades of helping purpose-driven women rise with confidence, clarity, and courage, Dr. Chester shares how faith, resilience, and bold decision-making can transform both personal and professional journeys.

Dr. Chester opens up about her philosophy of living in harmony rather than balance, explaining how different seasons of life require different priorities, much like instruments in an orchestra that rise and fall in volume at the right time. She also reveals how her early passion for the arts, combined with her calling to pastoral counseling, shaped a career devoted to helping people discover their true purpose and step into their unique lane.

In this episode of Playing Bigger, Playing Beautiful host Debbie Zita welcomes Dr. Angela Butts Chester, a Pastoral Counselor, Empowerment Coach, Mediapreneur, Author, and International Women's Speaker.
