Heart of Purpose

WELCOME BACK!! to a brand new podcast name and purpose. I took the last year to focus on other ministry projects and prayer movements the Lord had me begin but He has been urging me to get back on here to share and amplify prophetic voices of our time. We are in an important season as believers; will we be shaken along with the world or will we stand strong in our identity and authority in Christ? In this first episode, I share an update on what the Lord has been doing in my life and the lessons I've learned in the past year. From a year of preparation I can tell you it was filled with discovering more of who God is and more of who He has created me to be. Never despise the process. In the process, the gifts are established and the oil is refined. Get a sneak peek at what to expect in terms of content and messages being shared in the coming weeks. Get ready! For what the Lord is revealing in this season and this year is not for the faint of heart but for those ready to partner with the Lord and usher in His Kingdom. Throughout the next few months you will have a better understanding of the Biblical call for all Christians, the authority of which God has given us through Christ Jesus, the workings of the gift of Holy Spirit, hearing God's voice and understanding the prophetic. Calling all prayer warriors and intercessors to listen in as well! xo, Desiree --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/do-you-see/support

Seasons come and seasons go but God never leaves. He is a constant in our lives whether we choose to seek that or not. However it's important as a believer to choose to seek God more and more to understand His character and Who He is. To do so, we read the Bible. On today's episode, Desiree is joined by Jennifer Edewaard, Bible teacher, to chat about the importance of reading the Bible and some tips on how to make it a daily thing.

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks and reflect on all you're grateful for. But for the remaining 364 days of the year, we should also have this heart posture as we walk into unknown seasons, times of struggle or months of triumph. No matter our circumstances the Lord's goodness remains and the hope we have in His promises should be a constant. In that, we can live a lifestyle of gratitude that not only changes our mindsets but can change our life and relationships forever. This episode is a special one where Desiree shares two practical ways to shift our hearts towards gratitude and live from a place of joy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/desiree-siegfried/support

Pursuing your dream can cost a lot. And I'm not just talking about dollars. Industries, such as the music industry, can be a tough place to stay firm in identity and truth, with so many other alluring influences that surround.

This dynamic and married duo are the sweetest couple around with a unique and beautiful sound that makes their music stand out. From comparison to self doubt to how to work together as a married couple, no topic is off limits as the Lamb's share what it's like to pursue music while raising a family AND traveling in an RV for the past three months at the Lord's prompting. Be inspired to stay on the road God has for you even when society (even friends and family) can't understand. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/desiree-siegfried/support

Grace. We all hear it. We all know it. But are we living in it? Scripture says that God's grace is sufficient, yet how often do we feel like we need to check off boxes and be perfect for His approval and love to matter. As if His grace has a measuring system. After a week of being reminded of God's grace, Desiree shares some insight into living in God's grace and living from it with love. Are you loving the newest episodes?

As we go about our days, how often do we first ask God what He wants us to do or say? It's easy to pursue relationships, careers and everything else in the way we see fit but after awhile all of that striving gets a bit stressful and hard. Why? Because we left God out of the equation to get the end results on our own. Today on the IGNITE Series, Desiree talks about trusting God and what that actually looks like for our daily life. How quick it is to take control of our destiny and not allow God's grace and Holy Spirit to work in us. Desiree shares three ways we can take steps forward to trusting God's will in our life and get on the path He wants for us.

We hear or see it on the daily, 'YOU are enough!', 'YOU can do it!', 'YOU make your dreams come true', but this mantra is impacting the core of our belief and keeps us from understanding the truth that ONLY with Jesus we are enough.
