Purpose by Design with Pamela Henkel

What if your purpose hasn't changed, even though your plans have?In Part 2 of the 3-part series, “Your Life Is Not Random,” Dr. Pamela Henkel continues the conversation about discovering and recognizing your God-given purpose. Your purpose is not something you have to manufacture through your own strength. God has placed ability within you, and your responsibility is to be willing to say YES, even when you don't know exactly how everything will unfold.One of the powerful concepts in this episode is: “Marry the purpose and date the plan.” Your purpose can remain constant while your plans change, pivot, or take an entirely different direction. A change in plans does not mean you've missed God or gotten off track. Sometimes, you're simply moving into a different season.Dr. Pamela explores the different seasons we experience in life—seasons of beginning, rebuilding, restoring, repositioning, and transition. These seasons can overlap, and sometimes life can feel complicated or uncertain. But being in a season of change does not mean you are out of purpose.In Part 2, you'll discover:✨ The difference between your purpose and your plans✨ Why you should “marry the purpose and date the plan”✨ How to recognize the seasons and transitions in your life✨ Why changing direction doesn't necessarily mean you're off track✨ The importance of listening intentionally to the Holy Spirit✨ How reflection and journaling can help you recognize what God is saying✨ The meaning of the Hebrew word “moed”, an appointed and anointed time✨ How to recognize whether you're entering, experiencing, or leaving a significant season✨ Why your purpose remains a consistent theme even when circumstances change✨ How to live intentionally as salt and light in the worldYour life is intentional. You are purposeful. You are necessary.You don't have to have every detail figured out. You don't have to know the entire “how.” You can trust that God is working through the seasons, changes, pivots, and transitions of your life.Your purpose is the constant. The plan may change.As you watch this episode, take some time to reflect, grab a pen and paper, and ask yourself:What season am I in right now?Am I entering, experiencing, or transitioning out of a “moed” season?What might God be asking me to listen to, recognize, or do next?This is Part 2 of 3 in the “Your Life Is Not Random” series. Be sure to watch Part 1 and stay connected for Part 3!
