Ep. 539: Your Purpose Isn’t on Pause: Small Steps, Big Moves with Hope Regan Harris

The Messenger Movement with Tamra Andress

In this soul-stirring conversation, Tamra Andress sits down with Hope Regan Harris—author, founder of the global Purpose Isn’t Pause movement, and mom of two—to explore what it really means to live fully in the “now.” From accidentally launching a global postcard ministry during naptime to writing a book in the middle of pregnancy and a move, Hope unpacks how God's timing, not hustle, is the key to purpose-driven impact.

Whether you're in a season of stillness, transition, or rapid growth, this episode will remind you that purpose doesn’t require perfection or massive platforms. It starts with obedience in the moment you’re in.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• How Hope accidentally launched a global movement from her kitchen table

• Why "happy mail" and handwritten postcards are creating soul-level impact

• The powerful shift from “fear of doing the thing” to “fear of missing out on God’s call”

• Living out your message before you ever promote it

• Navigating tension between high-capacity callings and being present at home

• Why the present is the present—and how to trust God with your next

• The sacred power of small, faithful steps
