Maybe this sounds familiar
It's 11pm and you're turning it over again. The business idea, the book, the conversation you need to have, the change you know is coming.
You've got a Notes app full of half-plans, a journal with the same prayer on three different pages, and a list of reasons it makes sense to wait: when the kids are older, when work calms down, when you've healed a bit more, when you're sure it's really God.
You go to church, you read the devotional, you feel the stirring again. Then Monday comes, and the week fills up, and it all goes back on the shelf.
When a friend asks how you're doing, you say "I'm fine." And you are, mostly. But there's also an ache in knowing you're meant for more than going round in circles.
If that's you, you're not alone.
The 4 Steps of the 'Not Yet' Loop
So many capable Christian women find themselves circling this exact same cycle:
- 01
The Stirring
You sense God nudging you towards something, but you don't know what the next step looks like.
- 02
The Waiting
You wait for a sign or certainty. In the waiting, the noise creeps in: "You're not together enough yet. You're not healed enough. Fix yourself first."
- 03
The Capacity Shift
Real life keeps happening externally. Work, family, caring for others. The capacity you had when the call first came isn't there anymore.
- 04
The Guilt & Stalling
You feel guilty because you haven't moved. So you hide behind "I'm fine, I'm fine," until you feel the stirring again, and so the loop continues...
...and back to The Stirring again.
Gideon was hiding when God called him a mighty warrior.
You don't need the whole staircase. Just the next faithful step.
The Next Step Challenge is ten days to break the loop, one clear step at a time.
You keep saying you need more clarity, but clarity comes with action, not just thought.
Most of the women I coach think they're stuck because they don't have enough clarity on the whole picture, enough time or enough faith yet. So they wait for a clearer sign, a quieter season or a bigger burst of confidence.
But usually they already know a lot more than they think. What's missing isn't the whole plan. It's one small, specific step and a date you commit to getting it done by. Without that, thinking turns into circling, circling drains your capacity, and less capacity makes the next step feel even further away.
Praying and journaling more, or reading more devotionals, is how you hear, and perhaps even how you process. But hearing and doing are two different things, and most of us have nobody helping us turn what we've heard into what we'll actually do on Tuesday.
WHAT FOUNDING MEMBERS HAVE SAID
In their own words.



The giants were real. That wasn't what stopped them.
In Numbers 13, God's people were standing at the edge of the land he had promised them. Moses sent twelve men ahead to explore it. They came back carrying a single cluster of grapes so heavy it took two of them to carry it on a pole (Numbers 13:23). The land was everything God had said.
But there were giants there too. Ten of the twelve said, "We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are." And then the line that gives it away: "We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes" (Numbers 13:31, 33).
Two of the men, Joshua and Caleb, saw the very same giants. Caleb said, "We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it" (Numbers 13:30). His reason wasn't that the giants were small. It was this: "If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land" (Numbers 14:8).
The people listened to the ten. A whole generation spent forty years wandering in the wilderness instead (Numbers 14:34).
Forty-five years later, Caleb was eighty-five and still saying, "Now give me this hill country that the LORD promised me" (Joshua 14:10–12).
The facts didn't stop them. What they'd decided about themselves did. Your facts might be real too: a full diary, a tired body, a tight budget, small children. The question is what you've decided those facts say about you, and what one step you'd take if God is pleased with you, facts and all.
Ten days to close the gap between knowing and doing
The Next Step Challenge is ten days, Tuesday 1 to Thursday 10 December, set aside for actually moving. Not for having it all worked out. Just for taking the next step, then the one after that.
At the heart of it are PACE Coaching Sessions: guided coaching conversations inside the Time & Pace app, built on the coaching method I use with my clients. You'll be taken through it one question at a time, with Scripture woven through:
Pinpoint
what's really going on underneath the swirl
Assess
where things honestly are for you
Consider
the options open to you
Execute:
choose your best next step and put a date on it
Each PACE Coaching Session takes 15–20 minutes. You don't need to prepare anything. If your head feels full, choose "Help me get it out" and answer three short prompts. You'll come out with:
- one clear next step, with a date to do it
- an affirmation and a verse to carry with you
- your PACE Snapshot: your focus, your breakthrough, your anchor verse and your step, ready to save or share
- a check-in email from me on the day your step is due
During the challenge you have the whole Time & Pace app, so you can have as many PACE Coaching Sessions as you need, and use daily check-ins and Review Day alongside them.
WHAT MEMBERS BRING TO PACE
Bring whatever is sitting heavy right now.
Members have used PACE to untangle:
Complex work & business decisions
Cutting through analysis paralysis on a project, client dilemma, or career next step.
Home & family life admin
Organising physical spaces, resetting family routines, or tackling that task you've avoided for weeks.
Shifts in energy & capacity
Figuring out how to pace yourself when life feels full, unexpected changes happen, or rest is needed.
Faith & discernment
Aligning priorities with God when you feel pulled in too many directions at once.
Creative & personal projects
Moving from a head full of ideas to a single, doable milestone you can actually finish.
Everyday mental load
Offloading the mental clutter so you can breathe and focus on what matters today.
Imagine Thursday 10 December
You've sent the email you've drafted four times. Or booked the meeting. Or started the decluttering you kept putting off. Or finally had the conversation.
The idea that's lived in your Notes app for a year has a first step done and a second one in your calendar.
You open your Bible on Sunday morning and, instead of asking God the same question again, you're thanking him for what moved this week.
When your friend asks how you are, you don't say "I'm fine." You say, "I actually did something this week." And you mean it.
How the week works
Take a step in three areas of your life:
Personal:
the thing you keep saying you'll get to
Calling or work:
the idea, project or change you've been circling
Clearing the clutter:
the mental load that crowds everything else out
| Day | Focus |
|---|---|
| Tue 1 | Your first PACE Coaching Session: a personal step |
| Wed 2 | Take it. Celebrate yourself for the first step taken, and if you're feeling brave, celebrate with us and tell us it's done. |
| Thu 3 | A step for your calling or work |
| Fri 4 | What did your step show you? Go again. |
| Sat 5 | Clear the mental clutter. Halfway point: what else do you want to take a next step towards in the second half? |
| Sun 6 | Rest and look back at your PACE Snapshots |
| Mon 7 | Review Day: look back over your year |
| Tue 8 | One step towards the year ahead |
| Wed 9 | Tick off and tie up: finish or close the steps still in progress, and come to tomorrow's call with a blank slate |
| Thu 10 | Celebrate what moved, then our live call: carry this same confidence into 2027 |
The whole Time & Pace app is yours from the moment you join, not just from 1 December. Use it however you need to. The daily focus is simply there to help you keep taking steps if you'd like a nudge, and you're free to go at your own pace.
Miss a day? You haven't failed. You just pick up where you are.

Who I am
I'm Naomi Aidoo. I've been a coach for over ten years, I'm the author of two books, and more than 300,000 people have engaged with my Bible plans on YouVersion.
In nine out of ten of my coaching calls, the same thing comes up. Not "I don't know what God's calling me to," but "I don't know what the next step is." I built PACE Coaching Sessions around my coaching methodology so you don't have to wait for a coaching call in order to at least make a start.
After the week
You keep everything you made: every PACE Snapshot, step, check-in and affirmation. If you'd like to keep using the whole app all year, your £27 counts toward a full year of Time & Pace.
Questions
The land is still there. So is your next step.
You don't need a clearer sign, a quieter season or a five-year plan to start. You need one step, taken this week, with people cheering you on.
