Your Purpose Doesn't Pause with Hope Reagan Harris | Episode 258
If you've ever felt confused about your purpose, go ahead a press play on this one. In fact, screenshot it and share it with whoever you know because studies and chances say, they feel the same way. The idea of "purpose" can be intimidating, oftentimes over-complicated and filled with excuses as to "why we can't find ours" or "why our purpose has changed." Today's guest, Hope Reagan Harris, helps us step up to this conversation with ease, practicals and encouragement that will leave you with so many "aha" moments.

Customer Reviews
BEST PODCAST EVER
I learn so much about life, relationships and always in every podcast. I listen every morning on my drive to work and frequently listen in my down time. I’m so thankful for Rachel’s “yes” to going all in on her podcast and doing it for God’s glory. If you want to grow in every avenue of life, give this podcast a listen!!
God-centered and full of hope!
Rachel share real life with you and always talks about her faith in such a practical and encouraging way!
Debriefing with friends
So love listening to this podcast! It feels like listening to just tender, intentional conversations with friends, even when Rachel and her guests are chatting about stages of and moments of life I haven’t (maybe yet) experienced.
Will say though, it was disappointing hearing a guest on one episode declare that she was not a feminist (more than once!). Fully feel like this show’s overarching message and a lot of what I’ve taken away from it is empowering and celebrating women, particularly in their walk with Christ, and that IS what feminism is!
