SHOW NOTES:

Oftentimes your path in life may get re-routed. You may lose your way. You may take a turn and all seems lost. You take another turn and it appears that there is a dead-end.

In this episode, you’ll discover how God is not surprised by detours, in fact, God designs them.

A dead-end is not the end.

A detour is not the finish line.

A roadblock is not immovable.

Join us for the next episode when we address how to trust God when plans change and life takes a detour.

SHOW NOTES:

You may have lost your purpose. Life has happened. You started work, met new people, and you have grown as a human being. Life has changed and things have shifted. Do you know your purpose?

Or, you may have arrived at a place where you don’t know. You might be completely unsure of what drives you. You haven’t given much thought to it recently.

You realize a disconnect between what you want in life and what you’re currently experiencing. You may not know what your purpose will be. But you feel and think that there has to be more than this.

I believe that living on purpose as a follower of Jesus can drive you to make better decisions, to take action that benefits others, and gives you energy to make wonderful things happen for yourself, your family, and your community.

So, I invite you to join me on this next phase of your spiritual journey. Lean in as you discover your purpose in Christ.

Whether you're struggling to let go or simply seeking a deeper understanding of biblical forgiveness, this conversation invites you towards healing, freedom, and love.

SHOW NOTES:

Have you ever received love you did not earn or deserve?

Relationships can be contractual or transactional where you give and the other person gives back. Then, they give and you give back. Subsequently, you give and don't receive anything back so you walk. You move on. Conversely, they give and you don't give back and they ghost you. They leave you.

But I believe a relationship with God is an unconditional love where God has sacrificed all for you so that you can experience genuine love not a love that is a contract where transactions abound.

Discover how God's love in the resurrection of Jesus can empower you to live life differently. How the power of Jesus' resurrection can help you today.
