Ep.8 Three Ways to Start Living with Purpose (Without the Guilt or “Should” List)

Ready to live with purpose—but tired of the pressure and guilt that usually comes with it?

In this episode of Joyfully Made, we’re breaking it down in a way that’s simple, life-giving, and deeply rooted in truth. You’ll learn the 3 powerful ways to discover and walk in your purpose—without starting a “should” list or sitting on your judgment throne!
We cover:
-How your purpose meets a need—just like a seed-bearing plant.
-Why your purpose is productive and personal (and how comparison kills it).
-How purpose is always relational, tied to your community and connections.
-Why what lights you up is often where your purpose lives. How Jesus shows us how to live on purpose, with love and intention.
-We also reference Proverbs 31, the movie "Chocolat," and the powerful book "The Garden Within" by Dr. Anita Phillips as we reflect on how to root our purpose in love, not pressure.

Reminder: Your purpose is not a performance. It’s who you are and what flows from embracing your true self with God.
