Are you searching for meaning, direction, or a deeper sense of why you're here? In this powerful message, we explore what it means to find purpose in life through the lens of God's Word. From understanding your identity in Christ to discovering how your passions and seasons of life play a role, this message will help you uncover the purpose God has uniquely placed within you.  

Solomon searched for life's meaning in wisdom and wealth, but true life and fulfillment therein only come from the fact that Jesus searches for and saves us. Pastor Mollenkopf opens up this beautiful truth.

Part of a new sermon series at our Sunday morning service to run from May through July 2025. It aims to be a practical guide to Christian life, exploring topics like money, sex, hearing from God, handling anxiety, finding purpose, getting along with others.

At age 50, Jennifer Arthurton found herself divorced after 22 years, an empty nester, unemployed from her corporate executive role, and battling a stress-induced illness—all at once. This perfect storm became the catalyst for a profound transformation and the birth of her platform, Old Chicks Know Shit.During our heartfelt conversation, Jennifer reveals how she navigated this identity crisis when every role she'd used to define herself suddenly vanished. "If I'm not a wife, if I'm not a mother, if I'm not a corporate executive, then who am I?" This question resonates deeply with many women who've prioritized others while disconnecting from their authentic selves.We explore how women unconsciously minimize our accomplishments and diminish our power through self-deprecating language and thought patterns. Jennifer shares the liberating experience of challenging limiting beliefs—including how she overcame a forty-year belief that she "wasn't a good writer" based on childhood criticism about her handwriting. This breakthrough eventually led to creating her transformative platform.The journey through midlife reinvention requires emotional release and surrender. Jennifer describes a powerful meditation experience where suppressed emotions emerged as uncontrollable tears, creating necessary space for healing and self-discovery. For a self-described "type A" personality, letting go of control became her greatest gift, opening doors to possibilities she couldn't have planned.For women feeling stuck in repetitive patterns, Jennifer offers practical wisdom: take the tiniest possible steps forward, challenge negative thought patterns by questioning their validity, and most importantly, create quiet time to listen to your inner voice. "Whatever question you're struggling with right now, you already have the answer. It's in there."Ready to reclaim your power and discover what's possible in life's second act? This conversation will remind you that you already have everything you need—your accumulated wisdom, strength, and life experience have perfectly prepared you for what comes next.Support the show

Your life is not an accident. You were made on purpose and for a purpose. Finding that purpose is the most important discovery you could ever make. There were four distinct elements that confirmed Nehemiah's calling and purpose in life. These four essentials will help you find your purpose.I. TimingII. TrustingIII. TestingIV. TensionTalk with God: Ask the Lord to reveal the relationships and areas of your life that need to be rebuilt or strengthened.Talk with others: Ask a mentor or trusted believer to hold you accountable to spend time in prayer and the Word each day throughout this series.Talk with kids: What were the ten plagues God sent to Egypt?

Between resurrection and Pentecost lies a crucial season that transformed ordinary followers into world-changers. This waiting period wasn't wasted—it was precisely where God prepared His people for an unprecedented mission.The disciples found themselves in limbo. Their Rabbi had conquered death, yet confusion lingered. What comes next? When would Israel be restored? Rather than offering clear timelines, Jesus redirected their focus: "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you." Before they could go change the world, they needed to wait.This pattern reveals a profound truth for our spiritual journeys today. When we find ourselves in waiting seasons—seeking healing, clarity, or breakthrough—we're not being punished. These periods confirm what's true and prepare us for what's coming. The disciples craved certainty just as we do, but Jesus knew they needed something more fundamental: supernatural power from above.What made the early church extraordinary wasn't superior information or organizational structure. They changed the world because they were immersed in God's presence and empowered for His mission. Jesus didn't want followers who merely believed the right facts about Him—He wanted disciples filled with the same Spirit that raised Him from the dead.Throughout Christian history, believers have emphasized different aspects of the Spirit's work—producing holiness, enabling spiritual gifts, or empowering service. The beauty of Acts is that it embraces all these dimensions. The Spirit-filled life isn't a "special deluxe edition" of faith but essential for every believer who wants to experience the fullness of what God offers.Are you trying to navigate life's challenges through human effort alone? Have you settled for knowing about God without experiencing His transforming presence? Join us as we explore what happens when ordinary people surrender to divine power and discover that waiting seasons often become the launching pad for God's greatest work in and through us.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, consider subscribing to Madison Church on your favorite podcast platform.

This Sunday, as we continue our study of the life of Joseph, we come to the point in his life when everything finally came together, God's plan for his life finally became clear, and he finally began to experience fullness of life. So what happened and what can we learn from Joseph's experience that will guide us into a similar fullness of life? .

Do you ever feel like life is passing you by -- or like some aspect of life is passing you by? This Sunday we'll explore a Bible passage that offers us insight into how to respond in those moments, as we continue our study of the life of Joseph.

In this powerful episode, we're joined by Kevin Lowe, an inspirational speaker and podcast host who shares his remarkable journey of losing his sight at 17 and discovering an entirely new way to "see" the world. Through launching his own travel agency, creating a podcast during the pandemic, learning how to 'see' through sound and now inspiring others through speaking, Kevin exemplifies resilience in its purest form. His personal equation—"faith plus family equals a life worth living"—reminds us all to identify what gives our lives meaning, especially during our darkest moments. Kevin's story isn't just about overcoming blindness—it's about transforming limitation into possibility and finding purpose in pain. As he puts it, "Through the vulnerability of the brain that I became blind, but it's also through the power of the brain that I learned to see again."

Are you truly living in alignment with your soul's purpose, or have you been following a path shaped by fear, societal conditioning, and external expectations? In this episode of Pandora's Box, we dive deep into The Soul Path—what it means to walk your true, authentic journey and why doing so is the key to abundance, success, health, and happiness. We explore: ✨ The difference between the ego's voice (the Black Wolf) and the soul's voice (the White Wolf) ✨ How early conditioning leads us away from our true calling ✨ Why life crises—such as loss, illness, or emotional turmoil—often serve as wake-up calls ✨ The different stages of soul awakening and how to break free from societal programming ✨ The biggest regrets of the dying and how to ensure you live a purpose-filled life Most people never take the time to uncover who they truly are, waiting until it's too late to realize they were living for someone else's expectations. But you don't have to be one of them. If you're feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or questioning whether you're on the right path, this episode will challenge you to look deeper and take the first steps toward true alignment. Are you ready to explore your soul's purpose?

Power can be rapidly stripped away from individuals, or it can be taken away layer by layer. Not everyone makes it out of a cult, but life can become particularly meaningful when they do. A new purpose can arise for the person, more substantial than the grasp of mind control. Leaving an authoritarian cult is the experience that Dr. Debbie Haski-Leventhal, PhD, shared with us on this episode of Cult Conversations: The Influence Continuum. She found this meaning after a period of healing and self-exploration when she left the Kabbalah Centre. Her parents brought her into it when she was only five years old. She devoted her life to it as a chevre (hand-picked servants of Philip and Karen Berg, its leaders). She was able to escape by age nineteen. Debbie currently describes her role as “a professor of purpose and impact”, working with individuals and companies to make lives more meaningful. She crafted her book after decades of exploring what pro-social and satisfying behaviors bring to life. Her book is both inspirational and practical, laying out pointers from the model she developed. She believes strongly in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and works with business leaders to better utilize their human resources into meaning on both an individual and group basis. I must say, I loved this book, listened to it as an audiobook, and then bought it as a paperback and read it. It is a must-read book, in my opinion, for all survivors of mind control cults. It is an inspiration! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Following last week's episode with Jamie Winship, Haley and Dustin share a few thoughts on how finding your God-given purpose can feel inspiring … and often intimidating.    For some, finding their purpose happens in a moment with clarity and certainty. For many, it happens gradually over time with setbacks, questions, and ongoing discovery. Trying to answer, “Why am I here? What is my purpose?” can feel overwhelming.   That's why for this episode, we want to replay our discussion on finding your purpose in life. In this conversation from episode 7, Haley and Dustin break down the difference between purpose and calling, along with common setbacks and misconceptions we face when finding our purpose.   Subscribe to the podcast and tune in each week as Haley and Dustin share with you what the Bible says about real-life issues with compassion, warmth, and wit.   So you have every reason for hope, for every challenge in life.

We are in this world to grow and evolve—but real growth only happens when we're willing to confront where we're wrong. The problem? Our ego is always working against us, convincing us that we're right, keeping us stuck in old patterns, and stealing the energy we need to fulfill our purpose. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we explore the many ways ego shows up in our lives: how it fuels anxiety, distorts our perceptions, and blocks our true potential.
