Wendy S. Meadows is a seasoned family law attorney, former litigator and certified life coach. She is also a mediator and the author of the best-selling book, sparkle & GRIT, a framework that helps high-achieving women break free from burnout and live on purpose. Before expanding into coaching, Wendy spent decades practicing family law, guiding clients through some of life's most challenging transitions—all while quietly wrestling with her own feelings of overwhelm and disconnection.When two colleagues passed away within months of each other, Wendy was struck by how differently their lives were remembered—one obituary focused solely on legal accolades, the other celebrated a life of depth and meaning. Soon after, the sudden loss of her stepfather made it clear: She didn't want her legacy to be just about work. That realization sparked a shift. Wendy went solo so she could create space to figure out what truly mattered, away from the grind and expectations of traditional practice. She eventually stepped away from litigation, embraced mediation and began building a life and career rooted in alignment, purpose and presence.Today, Wendy helps women who've “checked all the boxes” but still feel stuck. She blends practical strategies with compassionate mindset work to help them reboot their habits, re-ignite their purpose and build lives that actually fit. She also works closely with lawyers— especially those ready to go solo or restructure their practices—offering strategic coaching, systems consulting and speaking engagements for law firms looking to prevent burnout, increase retention and foster sustainable success. Her book, sparkle & GRIT: Live a Technicolor Life by Finally Finding Balance, Escaping Monotony and Beating Burnout, offers a roadmap out of the autopilot “Groundhog Day” cycle that often accompanies high-achieving careers.

Pastor Kai introduces CCA's new vision, mission, and values, calling the church to live on purpose with a shared aim. This message challenges us to move from activity without direction to intentional living—together—so every saint can walk boldly in their purpose and every seeker can encounter the real Jesus.Subscribe for more! Don't miss an episode—follow along on YouTube and your favorite podcast platform as we explore what it means to Live On Purpose.Reflection Questions:What part of the vision (saint or seeker) resonates most with you personally right now, and why? What do you think changes in a church when people move from "my purpose" to "our purpose"? Which of the three aspects of the mission (exalt Jesus, equip the saints, engage in God's mission) do you feel most confident in right now, and which one do you feel God may be inviting you to grow in? Where do you see yourself stepping in more to help live out the new vision, mission, and values?
In this message, we kick off our spiritual emphasis for the year by exploring what it means to live on purpose in a world that often celebrates busyness over direction. Using the imagery of an arrow and a target, we're reminded that movement alone doesn't equal purpose—what we aim for matters. Scripture shows us that drift is real, that not every “bullseye” is success in God's eyes, and that spiritual formation happens through intentional practice, not perfection. Grounded in Ephesians 5:15–17, this message calls us to re-aim our lives toward God's will, trust His mercy when we miss the mark, and step into a year of living with clarity, intention, and faithfulness.
Pastor Jesus Arriaga urges us to live intentionally under God's will, saying yes to His promptings today rather than postponing obedience. He highlights simple, immediate acts like encouragement, praying with someone now, and meeting practical needs.

What if the most powerful thing you could do right now is slow down? In a culture that glorifies hustle, constant connection, and doing more, slowing down can feel like a radical act. Yet it's often exactly what we need to gain clarity, reconnect with ourselves, and make choices that truly align – not just about work, but in how we take care of our whole selves. Cory Allen is an author, meditation teacher, and podcast host who reaches millions every day with his fresh perspective on what it means to feel clear and calm. He believes it's not about pushing harder, but about creating more space. We explore why hustle culture is so deeply ingrained, what true clarity feels like, and how slowing down allows us to tune into what matters most. In this episode, you'll learn: Why our culture makes us feel incomplete and always “behind” How slowing down actually makes you more effective and helps you thrive What it really means to cultivate inner stillness while staying engaged with life How tuning into what matters leads to deeper connection and happiness Why clarity doesn't happen all at once and how to create space for it If you're ready to step off the hamster wheel and find a clearer, calmer way forward, this conversation will give you permission – and practical inspiration – to live intentionally and with purpose.

Every year, Woven highlights a ministry that we want to come alongside, encourage, and support in whatever way possible. That's why we've chosen to spotlight Sparrow Collective based in Lewisville, Texas. Today I get to sit down with their founder and CEO, Rachel Joy. She shares some pretty incredible stories, some timeworn nuggets of wisdom, as well as her own journey of God birthing this multifaceted ministry. She opens up about God chasing her when her walls were up, healing some deep wounds, and calling her to step out in great faith. Today we start the conversation with Rachel giving us an overview of who Sparrow is and what they do. Social media handle: @rachelrjoy, @sparrowcollective Website: sparrowandco.comShow Notes/Quotes:“I'd been a believer for quite some time but I mean the Lord, He was after me, and he stared down and broke down all these walls that I had put up.” “Truth, freedom, identity, purpose. Truth, freedom, identity, purpose.” “Comparison is a real thing. Competition is a real thing. We think that our Christianity needs to look like everyone around us, and we don't actually ask the Lord, ‘Who have you created me to be? And what have you created me to do?'”“Instead of competing with you and comparing myself to you, I get to celebrate you.”“I think if you go to the scriptures you'll see that there are a lot of leaders that are not ideal in the mind's eye, yet God uses the least of these.”“A leader is someone who listens to the Lord and steps out in faith and they don't necessarily have the full picture but they trust the God who does. That's who a leader is.”“A leader is not the loudest person in the room. A leader is actually one who listens first.”“My allegiance has to be to King Jesus. Period, end of story…what sits on the throne of your heart?” “A leader always prays and leads with prayer.” “Sometimes leaders can build little kingdoms, instead of building THE kingdom. Two very different things.”“Not every opportunity is obedience.”“Am I about results, or am I about God being glorified? Those are two very different things.”“God uses the lowest points to show you who He is and then you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's Him that's doing the work and it's not you.”“I feel very much caught up in something that is totally the mark of the Lord and has very little to do with me.”“Stepping out in faith, you do look a little crazy, and that's ok.”“Be curious. Be curious…no sphere of influence is too small, too big, God has placed you exactly where He wants you. Be curious about what He's doing, and join Him in what He's doing.” Verses: 1 Corinthians 13:12
Wake up. Work. Family. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. It feels like there's got to be more, a bigger purpose, something you specifically were created to be and do. Good news: You were created on purpose, for a purpose! The problem is we don't know what our purpose is or how to figure it out. In this teaching, Pastor Mark Cummins unpacks truth from God's Word through the story of Esther and equips us with a worksheet to find your purpose in living and the legacy you want to leave behind.

"Living with purpose and humor creates a ‘lifewish'—celebrating every day and, if you're lucky enough to climb high, bringing someone along with you.”
We hear the word “intentional” a lot these days and we are encouraged to live with intentionality. But we live in a world full of distractions and responsibilities that seem to choke out the ability to really choose how we live versus letting our lives dictate for us. I know that is a constant struggle for me and I find myself longing for simplicity. If that is you as well, today's episode is one you don't want to miss! Lara Casey Isaacson is a mom to three (one through the gift of adoption), a grateful wife, and a believer in the impossible. She created the PowerSheets grace-filled goal setting planner and the Write the Word journals, and she founded Southern Weddings magazine a decade ago. Lara is also the author of Make It Happen: Surrender Your Fear. Take the Leap. Live On Purpose. Today, Lara shares her fascinating story of creating multiple businesses and how that practically looked in her life, while also touching on the difficult seasons she walked through in the midst of the successes she was finding in those businesses. It was during those harder seasons that the Lord gave her a desire to truly live intentionally or “cultivate what matters” which would become a thriving business that is still growing and helping countless people get “unstuck” in life and step fully into their purpose and Godly goals for living. Currently, Lara has moved into a new season of life, stepping away from Cultivate and is living in NC, where she loves getting her hands dirty in the garden. I know that no matter where you are in your life journey, you will find this episode to be both encouraging and helpful as Lara offers some very practical tips to beginning or even continuing the process of cultivating what matters in your world and living intentionally in the place the Lord has you today.

"This is the true joy of life; to be used by a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; to be thoroughly worn out before being thrown on the scrap heap; to be a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that life will not devote itself to making you happy.” - George Bernard Shaw Too many people today are diffused and distracted. Too many people are on auto-pilot and are 'busy being busy'. I encourage you to focus on the person you want to be. I share Make Your Life Count: 5 Ways to Live on Purpose in this podcast episode. I hope you will give it a listen.
Self-doubt is that pesky little voice in our heads that loves to cast shadows on our aspirations. It rears its head when we're on the brink of something big—a new venture, a bold idea, or a leap of faith toward our dreams.The connection between self-doubt and finding your purpose is a complex and multifaceted one. While self-doubt may initially seem like a hindrance on your journey, it can actually serve as a catalyst for growth and self-discovery. Start living in alignment, on purpose and on your own terms.

Are you unhappy with your job because you want more fulfillment and meaning out of life? Most people think retirement is the answer. But rather than delivering on its promises, retirement is a trap. Instead, you must learn to live on purpose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1IxQgBIPn8 Prepare to unearth the secrets of living a life of purpose and financial independence with insights from Nelson Nash's Infinite Banking Concept detailed in his trailblazing book 'Becoming Your Own Banker'. This episode promises a powerful discourse on how taxation, government programs, and exceptions are sculpting a potential financial crisis for Americans. Brace yourself as we expose the ramifications of the government's soaring borrowing and spending, pointing towards a possible great reset, and how deferring taxes could be your road to financial doom. Post World War II, the landscape of unions, benefits, and pensions drastically transformed, but did it serve or undermine the individual worker? Let's journey together through this significant period, shedding light on how governmental control and the taxation system have eroded individual autonomy. Discover how liberating decision-making from the clutches of the government can propel societal growth and well-being. Finally, let's delve into the work of Edward Deming on the 'constancy of purpose' and the adoption of a new philosophy. We'll stir your thought process by discussing the necessity of demolishing barriers, ousting fear, and nurturing a culture of innovation. We'll also touch upon Nash's 14 points of quality and his seven deadly sins. So gear up to seize control of your life, money, and future - the journey might be arduous, but the reward is an empowered life, filled with purpose and growth. In the end, the choice to shape your financial life is in your hands - will you emulate the successful few or follow the multitude? Listen in to find out how. Join us to get a fresh perspective on living with purpose and succeeding in improving the quality of your finances. Relinquishing ControlHow Do Taxes Work?Control Your Livelihood and PurposeLeadership and OwnershipLearn from OthersTake ActionLive on PurposeBook A Strategy Call Relinquishing Control [02:08] “[Nelson] says when government creates a problem—onerous taxation—and then turns around and creates an exception to the problem they created—tax shelter retirement plans—aren't you just a little bit suspicious that you're being manipulated?” This is the crux of the problem when the government asks you to relinquish control of your dollars to them. They make promises that it'll be good for you, but it's even better for them. One promise, for example, is that you get to defer taxes or take a tax credit. And while you get to do that now, that doesn't exempt you from paying taxes later. And the unfortunate truth is that not only are you paying taxes on the harvest (i.e. the larger sum), but taxes are also much likelier to increase over time than to decrease. In the end, you can't guarantee future tax rates, but you can plan for them now. Wouldn't you rather pay taxes now to be exempt later? It's important to stop and think WHY you're being told to take certain actions and figure out who benefits most. This is especially true if you're being asked to relinquish control of your dollars to someone else. How Do Taxes Work? When we talk about taxes, it's important to note exactly what that means. United States income taxes are marginal, which means that everybody's dollars are taxed the same from the bottom up. So the first $11,000 of every person's income is taxed at the same percentage. Then everyone's dollars from $11,001 to $44,705 are taxed at the same percentage. So when we say that someone is in a 24% tax bracket, that doesn't mean all of their income is being taxed at 24%. Their income is just high enough to have a portion of their income taxed at that percentage. So,
Based on the book of Ecclesiastes, we're looking from the perspective that our days are numbered and we're all going to die.Based on those two sobering thoughts, we are asking ourselves this question, “How would my life look different if I chose to live with the end in mind?"This week we will continue looking through the lens of our own mortality by exploring our purpose in life. Someone said, “What matters most is not the number of days you've been given, but how you use them.”

We made it to 20 episodes, y'all! We're so grateful that so many people have taken the time to give the show a listen and support the bands we've been fortunate enough to talk to. As we did with the 10th episode, we decided to have a discussion about influential albums in our lives. This time, we chose songs/albums that led us to pick up an instrument, made us decide to start a band and/or led us to where we are today as musicians and songwriters. And, because we get lonely, we decided to have our friends in Grifters & Shills come along for the ride. They have a new album called Fireball coming out on June 17th and we're premiering two songs from the album! The first, Live On Purpose, features our very own Kim Barker on harmony vocals!Also, it is worth noting that when Kim says she enjoyed the F/X soundtrack, she is actually referring to the song Axel F from Beverly Hills Cop. She didn't realize which song it was until after the recording.
