Are You Real? FInding Your Purpose with Jon Fuller

Jon interviews men and women of faith who have found their purpose in God. He asks the questions that you’d want to ask them. One of his favorites is, “tell me about a time in your life when it doesn’t get any worse than this. How did God bring you out of it?” Inspirational stories ensue about how God reached in and grabbed them in their darkest moments. Often, those darkest moments ended up being the impetus that propelled them into their purpose.

Made for This with Jennie Allen

We all need to work through some pretty difficult emotions when we’re seeking our purpose, as well as moving in our purpose. Jennie talks about working through feeling stuck, or some tough emotions like anger and sadness so that we’re able to be free to walk in our calling.
