    Ep.515: How To Find Purpose In Your Calling (Part 2)

    In this continuation from last week’s episode (go back and listen if you missed it), we explore what it truly means to embrace your calling as a messenger for Christ. Drawing from Acts 9, the powerful transformation of Saul to Paul takes center stage, reminding us that God uses even the most broken vessels for His glory. Whether you’re in business, ministry, or simply navigating life, this episode unpacks the beauty of surrender, community, and boldness in sharing God’s message. From secret sin to sanctification, and from persecution to proclamation, we uncover the layers of being a faithful servant and fearless messenger. Plus, find out why discipleship, proximity, and bold obedience are your ultimate power moves. Let this episode reignite your calling and challenge you to step fully into your God-given purpose. KEY TAKEAWAYS: The Role of a Messenger: From angelic to earthly messengers, God’s design for communication is intentional. Saul’s Transformation: How a sinner-turned-servant showcases the beauty of God’s redemptive power. Bold Obedience: The necessity of immediate action in sharing the gospel, even in the face of opposition. Community & Discipleship: The critical importance of proximity and support in growing your faith. Overcoming Doubt: How to step out in faith, even if you feel unqualified or uncertain. QUOTABLE MOMENTS: “The very people Saul was going to kill were astonished by his testimony. That’s the power of God’s transformative work!” “You can’t start a movement without community. You need followers who believe in your message and mission.” “Give people time to catch up to the transformation God has done in your life—His work is undeniable.” WHERE TO FIND TAMRA: - Want to elevate your voice and purpose?

    Ep.514: How To Find Purpose In Your Calling - Am I A Messenger

    Ready to dive into a powerful story of transformation? In this heart-stirring episode, we're unpacking Paul's journey from persecutor to purpose-filled messenger, and trust me, it hits different when you see it through fresh eyes. We're talking about those "suddenly" moments when God shows up and completely wrecks your plans (in the best way possible!), just like He did with Saul on that Damascus road. Whether you're wrestling with your past, questioning your calling, or just hungry to step into your role as a messenger, this episode is your permission slip to embrace both the dramatic encounters and the daily surrender that shape our journey. I'm sharing raw insights from Acts 8 and 9, weaving in modern-day applications that'll help you see how God can use anyone – yes, even the ones breathing out "murderous threats" – for His glory. Plus, I'm spilling some tea about my own transformation story and why being a daughter matters more than any fancy title. Get ready to highlight your Bible and lean into what it truly means to be God's messenger in this season!  ⏰ KEY TIMESTAMPS: * 05:21 - Exciting publishing house updates: "We've brought 40 new authors to life last year, and we're looking to bring about 60, maybe 70 this year." * 08:13 - Our soul goal defined: "To truly live out a Jesus-like life" * 11:04 - The Acts 2 connection and body of Christ * 14:22 - The importance of the manual (God's Word) * 30:07 - The dual role of messengers: speaking AND listening * 40:08 - Powerful John Maxwell reference about true leadership * 48:20 - Closing prayer and commitment 🔥 QUOTABLE MOMENTS: * "A testimony engages the hearts of people in ways that nothing else really can." * "I'm not looking for my own content. I'm looking for what content does Christ wants to exude through me in this season." * "The more better we get at asking questions, the more Christlike we become." * "As a messenger, we also must listen." * "Do you want to do what I do, or have you done what I've done?" * "I will plant every tear. I will stay rooted in your word, God." ✨ Episode Highlights: * The deep meaning behind asking "How are you, really?" * Why your past doesn't disqualify you from your purpose * Those amazing "suddenly" moments with God * What walking down "Straight Street" teaches us about transformation * The beautiful significance of calling each other "brother" and "sister" Where to find Tamra: - Want to elevate your voice and purpose?
