Living A Life Of Purpose

In this podcast episode, “Purpose Gives Clarity”, we talk about how busy many of us are, including the various personal and professional obligations we all have. It's easy to reach a point of feeling like we are stretched in so many directions. But, let's take some time to look at how we can regain focus and clarity in our lives by reallocating our time and resources to what is most important. www.purpose8institute.com

In this episode, titled "You Want Everything, But God," we dive into a discussion of the many relationships we manage and maintain in our everyday lives (family, school, job/career/business, friends, emotions, etc.). We often find ourselves putting all our energy in these relationships while neglecting the most important - our own personal relationship with God. Let's talk about the importance of having a personal relationship with God, and the impact (love, humilty, emotional healing, living out your purpose) over your life and others. And, what it means to align our lives to God's Word and seek him first -our Creator, our Father, our best friend.www.purpose8institute.com

You don't know exactly what God's purpose for your life looks like. None of us do, that's why we shouldn't try to limit purpose down with our expectations.
