Faith–Life Gap to the Potential–Impact Gap
Welcome! Have you heard of the faith-life gap? It’s the disconnect between what you say you believe and how you actually live.
Seen through the lens of God’s Will — which Jesus says is the condition for entering Heaven — we could say the gap appears whenever we live by our own will rather than the Father's Will. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the Will of My Father in Heaven.” — Mt 7:21.
This gap can undermine our ability to reach our full potential, and so limit the impact our lives are meant to make in society.
In our everyday life — from studies to work, from family to relationships, from business to politics, from social life to service — we are called to bring change for the better. Yet when God’s Will is absent, our potential for impact is left unrealised.
It’s not that you don’t want to do God’s Will. Often, it’s that you can’t quite figure out what His Will looks like for your life. But here is the truth: whatever His Will is for your particular life, in following it, you will unleash your potential for impact.
A good starting point is to look at what God has already embedded in us: our human abilities (what we can do), capabilities (what we could do), and capacities (how much we can do), to begin bridging the potential–impact gap and driving change as women of faith.
May I suggest life skills for starters?
What are life skills?
Life skills are described as practical tools for coping with the challenges of daily life. But for a believer, they’re more than just tools. Along with supporting your physical, mental, and emotional health, they enrich your spiritual life and strengthen your relationships, career or studies, leadership, business, finances, family life, and contribution to community and society.

Testimonials
Irina P.
“We are deeply thankful to Muriel. She helped Emmanuel and I truly appreciate the sacred meaning and lifelong commitment of marriage. With wisdom, compassion, and patience, she guided us to prepare our hearts for the life we will share together. Her words have strengthened our faith, deepened our love, and given us the tools to build a marriage rooted in respect, understanding, and God’s grace.”
Head of Caritas Nigeria & Founder of MESH CENTRE
Rev Peter B. A.
“I have had the privilege of working with Muriel for over a decade, including her workshops at the MESH Center targeting young women, especially in their teens. I personally witnessed her remarkable ability to connect with participants, helping them bring their faith, identity, and purpose into focus. Her marriage sessions profoundly impacted participants, guiding them to respect themselves and others while fostering healthy relationships. She also introduced entrepreneurship as a practical way for disadvantaged young women to use their talents for financial independence, helping them avoid harmful sexual practices. I am deeply grateful for Muriel’s dedication to uplifting young women, her positive influence, and the life-changing guidance she provides.”
