Purposed to Impact

We have a surprise!It hasn't happened yet, but the word is out! That's what happens when you decide to do an experiment with 2, 4 and 6 year olds to see if they can keep the surprise quiet. No, no they can't. Not when the good news is this good. Speaking of good news... I guess I should tell you what it is...Scripture Study GuideMark 1:40-45 (the healed leper wasn't supposed to tell)Acts 1:8 (power to be witnesses)Acts 2:6 (the Holy Ghost is “noised abroad”)Luke 2:7-17 (the shepherds' spread good news)Romans 12:2 (new and proving God's will)More Purposed to Impact resourcesCheck out the booksStart the Purposed to Impact YouVersion Bible planGet the Wednesday DovotionalJoin the #DAY67 Challenge

It's been quite a while of silence on this podcast, so when God began weaving these thoughts together in my mind on the Saturday before Easter, it felt like the perfect comeback episode.We can learn so much in silence - about God, about ourselves. We can gain quite a bit of perspective on our circumstances too when we remember God has a much bigger plan with so many moving parts that He desires for us to fit into.But on the grassroots level, from our human perspective, silence is awkward. It's uncomfortable and empty. It causes a stirring of emotions and a drive to fill the space with... something. But I've come to learn that God often uses silence as an invitation.Scripture Study GuideSilence in the beginningGenesis 1:2 (the Spirit of God moved before creation)Genesis 1:3 (God's first words)Silence in the GardenGenesis 2:1-3 (God rested)Genesis 3:8-9 (God's voice in Eden)The Silent YearsLuke 1:5-19 (God breaks the intertestamental silence, sending the angel Gabriel with the message of John's birth)John 1:1-10, 14-15 (the Word in the world)The Trial SilenceMatthew 27:11-14 (Jesus doesn't speak up to defend Himself)Saturday SilenceJohn 19:28-30 (“It is finished.”)The Passover to Pentecost SilenceActs 1:1-14Repentance, Rebirth and ReconciliationIsaiah 43:25 (God forgives us for His own sake!)John 3:3-5 (Jesus explains the new birth to Nicodemus)Acts 2:38 (The plan of salvation)Romans 6:1-4 (newness of life)The Holy GhostActs 2:1-6 (120 are filled with the Holy Ghost in the Upper Room)Acts 2:41 (three thousand more)Acts 2:7-37 (Peter affirms Jesus' fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy)Acts 2:38 (Peter's answer to “What shall we do?”)Acts 2:39 (Who the Holy Ghost is for)Instances recorded in the Bible when people received the Holy Ghost:Acts 4:31Acts 8:14-17Acts 9:17Acts 10: 34-48Acts 19:1-6ResourcesFrom this episode:Apostolic church locatorApostolic global missionary directory and interactive mapRead this episode on the blogMore Purposed to ImpactCheck out the booksStart the Purposed to Impact YouVersion Bible planGet the Wednesday DovotionalJoin the #DAY67 Challenge

Season changes aren't always about the calendar or weather. Rather they can invite a mindset shift that gives us momentum to keep growing into our God-given purpose and His plan for us to make an impact.Scripture study notes:Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 (a season for everything)Genesis 8:22 (the cycle of seasons)Daniel 2:21 (God controls the seasons)Acts 1:7 (we don't know the timing of the seasons)Matthew 11:28-30 (staying in God's yoke)Galatians 6:9 (in due season)Resources:Read the blog post that inspired this episodeLet's link!Meet KendallImpact Insight Co.Join the #DAY67 ChallengeThanks for tuning in! Already thinking ahead about how you can put these principles into practice?

The main rule for pivoting is that you have to keep one foot planted on the ground. You can't just run in a different direction. With one foot firmly anchored to where you are, you can freely move the other one to get a better angle to move the ball around the defender in your way. The same strategy applies when it comes to how we pursue our purpose.Scripture study notes:Isaiah 43:19 (God does new - and sometimes unexpected - things)2 Peter 1:10 (make your calling and election sure)Isaiah 30:21 (this is the way)Resources:Read this episode on the blogLet's link!Meet KendallImpact Insight Co.Join the #DAY67 ChallengeThanks for tuning in! Already thinking ahead about how you can put these principles into practice?

I believe that if we have an understanding of who God says we are and what He has called us to do, then we can look forward and pray proactively to preempt some things that would threaten our purpose, instead of looking back and repenting for stuff we let derail us. Today we're talking through the six steps to start something new that I developed for my original 1:1 coaching program and used to launch my most recent venture, Rightly Instructed.

People are at the heart of God's purpose and plan for Creation. He made us in His own image and tasked us with reflecting His nature so those searching for life and truth could follow us to find their way back to Him. Knowing God's heart in this way, we can see clearly how our impact lies at the intersection of every personal interaction. It's in our friendships and family relationships. In every business exchange. It's at the very heart of each ministry and community service encounter. As believers, impact happens when we interrupt the course of someone's daily routine with an intentional display of His love. These moments are orchestrated by grace - God's divine influence on our hearts. As we listen to Him, to His heartbeat, we'll hone our sensitivity to recognize and seize those impact opportunities.Scripture study notes:Proverbs 11:30 AMP (how to be a tree of life)1 Corinthians 3:7 (God gives the increase)2 Corinthians (paying forward what we've received from God)Resources:Purposed to Impact: Discover and Activate Your Higher CallingRead this episode on the blogLet's link!Meet KendallImpact Insight Co.Join the #DAY67 ChallengeThanks for tuning in! Already thinking ahead about how you can put these principles into practice?

Welcome to the second installment of our series, Mindset Shifts for Deeper Purpose and Greater Impact! As we talked about last week, daily habits are critical. They're how we feed our flesh and spirit. When it comes to our pursuit of higher purpose, we've got to align our actions with our aspirations. So that brings us to this week's key question: What are we feeding our purpose? In this episode, we'll chat through what my favorite focaccia recipe helped me realize about daily bread and daily diligence -- and how to apply it in ministry, business, and personal life.Timestamps:Bread as a theme in the Bible: 1:31The Bread of Life: 6:33What this looks like in real life: 9:20Ministry application: 10:14Business application: 13:54Personal life application: 19:45Scripture study notes:Psalm 127:2 (the bread of anxious toil)Proverbs 31:27 (the bread of idleness)Genesis 3:19 (bread is the result of hard work)Matthew 6:11 (our daily bread)Exodus 16:15 (manna)Philippians 4:7 (peace)John 6:35 (Bread of Life)Psalm 34:8, 14 (taste and see; then seek peace)Resources:Purposed to Impact: Discover and Activate Your Higher CallingDaily Diligence Checklist is on pg. 109Read this episode on the blogLet's link!Meet KendallImpact Insight Co.Get the weekly DovotionalJoin the #DAY67 Challenge

Description:What's the thing you've been trying to start doing but just can't seem to get or keep momentum on? What habit (either by presence or by absence) is blocking you from being more proactive in your purpose? We're kicking off season 2 with our Mindset Shifts for Deeper Purpose and Greater Impact series! This episode is all about finally putting in place that one good habit that will keep us connected to our God-given purpose and oriented towards earthly and eternal impact.According to a 2009 study from the European Journal of Psychology, it takes 66 days for a new habit to become automatic. So: What's the one thing you wish you could do on autopilot that would make you feel more connected to your purpose and more committed to impact?Over the next 66 days, we're going to make it a habit. We're counting down to #Day67 and looking ahead to the mental shifts and weight lifted that will come from finally getting into a groove with that thing we've been struggling to start all this time.And we're doing it now so we're ready to take on the last 90 days of 2022 (the fourth quarter!) with God-driven focus and force!Text DAY67 to (833) 459-3617 to join the challenge*.

Paul told Timothy to "stir up the gift" that was in him. He'd shown great faith and faithfulness, but still Paul reminded Timothy to activate what he'd received.Thinking about that word "stir" got me thinking about the impact that specific action has in the baking process (because, hello upcoming holidays). Spoiler: it's absolutely critical.It's what incorporates all of the ingredients so that when the batter hits the heat of the oven, can be activated to transform into something beautiful and incredibly desirous. In the same way, we've got to incorporate the gift of the Spirit into every ingredient of our lives. Let's chat about it.Oh and... Here's that pumpkin nutella cupcake/muffin recipe. (Cupcake = with frosting, muffin = sans frosting.) 6 years later, they're still a favorite!Happy baking!Scripture study notes:2 Timothy 1:6 (stir up the gift)Zechariah 13:9, Malachi 3:3 (refining fire)Let's link!Meet KendallImpact Insight Co.Say hi on the 'gram

Stay on the path. Keep going forward. Even if you just came through a storm and don't feel like stomping through puddles anymore, stay on the path.

We know God has not given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7), but if I'm being honest, just knowing it isn't always comforting enough to combat those vicious, anxious mental spirals. But what I realized through a deeper study of this verse is that God equips us to eliminate the enemy's opportunity to gain a foothold through one simple practice. Let's talk about it.   Scripture study notes:2 Timothy 1:7 NLT (God has not given us a spirit of fear)Ephesians 4:27 (give no place to the devil)Proverbs 31:21, 25 (on preparation)Proverbs 6:6-9 (Parable of the Ant)Mark 16:17 (the power of Jesus' name to cast out demons)Luke 12:13-21 (Parable of the Rich Fool)Dovotional: A devotional that you actually do!What good is what you learn from a podcast if you don't put it in practice?

We cannot conflate a pursuit of validation with our pursuit of purpose. Purpose isn't earned--it's ingrained.
