Quotables from the Episode:
- God can and will do exceedingly, abundantly, above what you could ask hope or think. He desires to reveal your purpose even more than you desire to fulfill it.
- Proverbs 25:2 reminds us that it is the glory of God to conceal a matter, it is the glory of kings to search it out. God wants to take us on a journey of discovery. On that journey is where we find, truth, purpose and HIM.
- We cannot find our “do” until we know our “be.”
- Our purpose often isn’t pretty, but it’s perfectly ours.
- 3 Ways God often reveals our purpose: positioning, prodding, and pulling.
- Two common barriers to our purpose: trouble-free thinking and sensational thinking.
- We may miss our purpose because we are focusing too much on our career.

This message was beautiful! I have learned over time my purpose planned and equipped by my Father for me. I didn’t know what it was for so long as I grew in my relationship; with the Lord. I searched and sought Him for why and what He had for me but now I know and walk in it daily. I am an instrument of His love, encouragement and blessing in the lives of so many people. To some I am a friend; to others I am a mom; to others I am a light in the darkness and to all I am an ambassador of Christ. I share God’s love in many different ways but my purpose is to honor and glorify Him where He places me at any given moment. Led by the Spirit of God and equipped by His plans throughout my life, I know I am walking in my purpose. It has been a journey and that journey continues. Thank you Dr. Kris and Dr. Michelle for this message! So enjoyed both of you giving testimony and such practical helps in discovering our purpose, God’s purpose for us. .
