Have you ever felt like Moses—called to something greater but weighed down by insecurity or a sense that you're not qualified? In this first episode of our "Planning for Your Purpose" series, we unpack the profound truth that God has designed you with intention and purpose before you were even born.
We begin by reframing the familiar story of Moses through a modern lens, revealing how his journey mirrors our own search for identity and purpose. Despite his speech impediment, his mistakes, and his insecurities, Moses became one of history's greatest leaders because he ultimately surrendered to God's direction. Your story might look different on the surface, but the principles remain the same.
Through practical exercises, we guide you to identify your God-given strengths, passions, and the things that bring you genuine joy—all potential signposts toward your unique calling. We explore critical qualifiers to test whether what you're pursuing truly aligns with divine purpose: Does it align with God's will? Does it use your gifts? Does it transform you to become more like Christ? These questions cut through the noise of well-meaning but potentially misguided ambitions.
Perhaps most importantly, we address the challenging reality that your calling might require you to operate in areas of weakness, make significant sacrifices, or experience periods where progress feels painfully slow. Brandon vulnerably shares how following God's call meant uprooting his entire life from Minnesota to San Diego and joining the military—a difficult transition that ultimately aligned with God's greater purpose. Your purpose journey will have both moments of celebration and periods that feel like "pushing a truck uphill," but the key is persistent obedience through both.
Whether you're just beginning to explore what God might be calling you to or you're seeking confirmation about a direction you've been sensing, this episode provides both biblical foundation and practical next steps toward living with divine intention.
