discovering your purpose

This is the second story of a courageous woman of the bible in the series In Her Footsteps. This is a story that resonates with recognizing and utilizing your God-given gifts and talents. The focus is on the remarkable Deborah, a prophetess and judge in Israel. Her story highlights the significance of acknowledging and harnessing the unique gifts that God has bestowed upon us. Deborah's wisdom and leadership serve as a shining example of embracing and employing our innate talents to effect positive change.
 

• Are you stressed and anxious at work and feel like your life is out of control?
• Do you want to work for yourself and own your time but don’t know what to do or how to do it?
• Do you have passions and projects you want to pursue?
• Are you ready to follow God's plan for your life?

Learn to hear and listen to God's voice, turn your chaos into calm, and battle and win the war against stress and anxiety.

My mission is to empower you to dig deep and know when to say yes to the things God wants you to and no to everything else, learn to move forward and pursue your passions, and stay emotionally healthy while doing it. Let me teach you how to create a vision, identify goals, and start your own online business. 

If you're ready to ditch that unfulfilled life for the life that God meant for you, then you're in the right place.

Jesus instructed us to stand firm in our calling, but have you ever wondered what your "calling in life" actually is? Does it feel like other people know their purpose while your left scratching your head trying to figure things out? As a follower of Jesus, these things matter, but if you don't know your calling you won't be able to stand firm in it.

In this week's message from Meta Church, Pastor Ricky Ortiz walks us through the process to discovering your calling in life and knowing how to stand firm in against all opposition.

There is no denying that 2020 has been one of the toughest and most trying years you and I have ever experienced. But what I also know is that God is still God, and that I will continue to trust Him and keep my faith strong through all of it. I’m doing this because as much as it may not seem like it right now…this too shall pass. Things will get better and when they do…we need to be ready. Which means it is now time, more than ever before, to ask yourself if you truly and wholeheartedly know your purpose. Because if you do, then it’s time for you to fully begin walking in it, and if you don’t…it’s time for you to make discovering it one of your top priorities in 2021. In today’s episode, I share how it was many years before I truly knew what my own purpose was, how I finally discovered it…and how you can, too.

God may use unexpected situations or experiences in your life to reveal His purpose for you – sometimes even giving you a new calling. Today on the podcast, Crystal is chatting with Adam Rinehart who serves as Associate Director, Special Needs Ministry at Calvary Community Church in Southern California. Now Adam didn’t expect to have a full-time career in disability ministry, but listen as he shares how God used a few important experiences to open his heart to serving families impacted by disability. 

Read more from Adam at www.joniandfriends.org/a-life-changing-experience.

Joni and Friends was founded in 1979 by Joni Eareckson Tada who in a diving accident was left a quadriplegic at 17 years old. Ministry began as Tada, joined by friends around her kitchen table, responded to letters she received from people with disabilities in search of support. Over the past 40 years, the ministry has grown to serve thousands of people impacted by disability worldwide: Joni and Friends has delivered more than 150,000 wheelchairs and Bibles through Wheels for the World and provided Christian care to 63,000 special needs family members through Family Retreats. The organization also equips individuals and churches with disability ministry training and provides higher education courses through the Christian Institute on Disability.
