Podcasts about finding purpose

Craig Siegel, once engrossed in the high-stakes world of Wall Street, found himself surrounded by financial gains but devoid of genuine fulfillment. When faced with his father's cancer diagnosis and the strains of a toxic relationship, Craig was driven to reconsider what truly mattered in life. The pandemic became an unexpected ally, giving him the time and introspection needed to embrace personal development, leading to the birth of the CLS brand, a venture grounded in the conviction that aligning one's career with their authentic self can unlock abundance and purpose.As the discussion unfolds, we confront the startling reality that only 20% of Americans find purpose in their work. By creating intentional "white space" for reflection and introspection, we can redefine wealth not just through financial means but through awakening and actualizing our true potential. Craig's story is a testament to the resilience and determination required to overcome life's hurdles and align personal and professional aspirations. Join us for an inspiring exchange that encourages a mindset shift towards resilience, purpose, and genuine wealth.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, join Hunter as we journey together through the Bible on this 19th day of June. We'll dive into the dramatic stories of Second Kings chapters 1-3, witness Elijah's fiery encounters and miraculous departure, and see Elisha step into his prophetic calling. We'll also spend time in Psalm 82, where God calls us to justice and compassion, and move into the New Testament with First Timothy chapter 1, where Paul reminds us not to miss the heart of the gospel—a life transformed by love, pure conscience, and genuine faith. Hunter shares encouraging reflections on letting God's Spirit shape us from the inside out, rather than getting lost in meaningless debates or empty rule-keeping. We'll close with heartfelt prayers for peace, gratitude, and strength for the day ahead. So grab your Bible, take a deep breath, and let's immerse ourselves in God's Word and presence together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Don't Miss the Point We are so prone to miss the point when we misapply the law. It can lead us into a life of pride and arrogance or self-loathing and despair. Engaging with the law in this way, as Hunter reminds us, can become a colossal exercise in missing the point. When we seek to justify ourselves by keeping the law or becoming experts in its letters, we actually miss the underlying message and purpose. That's exactly what Paul points out in his letter to Timothy—some people have veered from the simple truth, spending their days in meaningless discussions that add nothing to a life of faith (see 1 Timothy 1:6). They had turned away from the simple gospel, the good news that is received by faith and fills our hearts with love, cleanses our conscience, and makes us new. Paul reemphasizes this in verse 5: “The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.” This, Hunter says, is the real deal—this is the point. This is the work that God alone can do as his Spirit abides in his people. Through the Spirit's presence, God brings about a new heart, a clean conscience, and a new life. And we need to remember: that's a gift. It isn't something we can attain by mastering the law. True change comes not from our proficiency or expertise, but from the Master's presence in our lives. As we surrender, as we let the Master master us, God reclaims that which was lost. That's the power and the gift of the gospel, the very truth Paul is unashamed to proclaim. Living in the reality of Christ in you means you're not missing out on love, generosity, or peace—they are yours. And in receiving them, you'll have something beautiful to offer this world. That's a prayer Hunter has for his own soul, for his family, and for you: that we may not miss the point, but instead receive the love of God, a clean conscience, and a new life in Christ. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day. Preserve us with your mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you. Bring the nations into your fold. Pour out your spirit on all flesh and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. And now, Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Lord, grant that I might not seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned. It is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Phyllis Dealy. She says - “If you're always thinking about, oh, I could have made that decision or I should have done that, you're gonna miss the moment. So how can you be present for what's possible in this moment? And by holding on to that, number one, you can really tap into joy. Because in this moment, we can all choose to be joyful, and we can embrace what is right in front of us. And we have found a lot of power and clarity in that practice.” Phyllis Dealy and Meaghan Benjamin are the co-founders of Reinvent the World and Studio Reinvent, where they guide executives and teams to communicate with purpose, clarity, and impact. Phyllis is a serial entrepreneur and creator of The Awareness Factor, having worked with clients like PepsiCo, FridaBaby, Aetna, and Susan G. Komen. Meaghan is an executive communication coach with advanced degrees in speech and hearing science and psychology. She helps leaders strengthen their influence and connection using science-backed tools like storytelling, brain coupling, and conscious listening.

Through vivid stories and practical wisdom, Ben and I explore how curiosity is the antidote to fear, how creativity naturally flows from curiosity, and how confidence is built by simply beginning—and continuing—to create.From imposter syndrome at a Dolce & Gabbana event to finding inspiration in nature, this conversation is a powerful invitation to get curious, stay creative, and be kind to yourself in the process.Topics Covered:How curiosity dissolves fearWhy creativity is about seeing possibilities, not just making artReframing repetition: why doing what's been done before is still meaningfulHow creative confidence is earned through actionThe role of environment and nature in creative flow Navigating imposter syndromeand Honouring your pathResources & Mentions: Ben Rennie's new book Ben's “Wednesdays” blog on Medium Brene Brown Steve Jobs: “You can't connect the dots looking forward…” Meredith Hite-Estevez: “Join a song already singing” Rick Rubin: on creativity and remixing existing ideasTakeaways / Call to Action:Follow your curiosity—it's the best antidote to fear Just start, even if it's been done before—your voice mattersPractice regularly and create space for your creativityCapture your ideas on the goBe gentle with yourselfSpend time in nature to reset and reconnect

*A note on our content.  We advise listener discretion as this episode references abortion.   Erica Spivey, from our community group in Raleigh, North Carolina, grew up with a Jewish heritage, thinking her value rested in her actions and accomplishments - an untruth that left her empty, depressed, and ultimately alone when she found herself in the middle of an abortion clinic. But God, in His unconditional love and faithfulness, used her most guilt-ridden and shameful moment to pursue her heart.   Listen in as Erica recounts the ways in which God brought her from religion to relationship and how He is still taking the darkness of her past and using it for redeeming Kingdom purposes.    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: - No matter what your past holds, God chose you and appointed you to go and bear His fruit. (John 15:16) - When you open your heart to God, He will meet you right where you are. - You were created in God's image and because of that alone, you have worth and value.    Links: Crisis pregnancy and post-pregnancy care ministries: Sav-A-Life and Lifeline Children's Services    Listen to similar stories:  Ep. 107- Carol Bevil:  “A Jewish Heritage” and Ep. 321- Beth Mull: “Be Brave: A Story of Finding Purpose from the Past”   Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Erica and our past storytellers   Become a Patreon Insider to access bonus content   Register for our Finding God in the Details: A Guide to Discerning His Voice and Discovering Your Story workshop being offered in-person on June 18th; 6:00-8:30 PM CST *Future dates- Online on July 8th; 9:30-11:30 AM CST and August 20th; 9:15-11:15 AM CST Shop for our When God Shows Up Bible Study series   Check out all of our live speaking engagement opportunities on our website!
