Ep. 38: You Were Made for More: Anchoring to Your God-Given Purpose
Description
Have you ever found yourself asking, “What is my purpose?” or wondering, “Am I doing enough?” You are not alone. In this powerful episode of the Anchored with Purpose Podcast, host Melissa Wilkinson explores how your God-given purpose is not a destination or a title—it’s already rooted in your identity in Christ.
With encouragement, Scripture, and personal insight, Melissa unpacks:
- Why purpose is about obedience and identity, not achievement
- How to uncover the “seeds of purpose” God has already planted in your life
- The impact of holy discontent and how it can point you toward your calling
- The SHAPE framework from The Purpose Driven Life
- Why your purpose creates eternal impact, even when it's invisible
You’ll also be equipped with 6 journal prompts to help you reflect, dig deeper, and prayerfully discern your next faithful step.
Key Scriptures: 📖 Proverbs 19:21 📖 Ephesians 2:10 📖 Jeremiah 29:11 📖 Matthew 5:16 📖 1 Corinthians 14:33
